# AWS Database Migration - Implementation Summary

## ✅ Completed Changes

All code changes have been implemented to migrate from local Docker PostgreSQL to AWS PostgreSQL using AWS SSM Parameter Store for secure credential management.

## 📁 Files Modified

### 1. `src/utils/awsSsm.js`
**Changes:**
- ✅ Updated to use correct SSM parameter paths:
  - Read-Write: `/test/livingai/db/app`
  - Read-Only: `/test/livingai/db/app/readonly`
- ✅ Added support for `DB_USE_READONLY` environment variable
- ✅ Improved error handling with detailed error messages
- ✅ Added `buildDatabaseConfig()` function for SSL support
- ✅ Updated credential validation and parsing

### 2. `src/db.js`
**Changes:**
- ✅ Added SSL configuration for self-signed certificates
- ✅ Updated to use `buildDatabaseConfig()` instead of connection string
- ✅ Improved error handling and logging
- ✅ Auto-detection of AWS database when `DB_HOST=db.livingai.app`
- ✅ Connection pool configuration (max: 20, idleTimeout: 30s)

### 3. `src/config.js`
**Changes:**
- ✅ Updated to require AWS credentials when using SSM
- ✅ Removed `DATABASE_URL` from required env vars when `USE_AWS_SSM=true`
- ✅ Added validation for AWS credentials

### 4. Documentation
**New Files:**
- ✅ `docs/getting-started/AWS_DATABASE_MIGRATION.md` - Complete migration guide
- ✅ `docs/getting-started/ENV_VARIABLES_REFERENCE.md` - Environment variables reference
- ✅ `MIGRATION_SUMMARY.md` - This file

## 🔒 Security Implementation

### ✅ Credentials Management
- **NO database credentials in `.env` files**
- Credentials fetched from AWS SSM Parameter Store at runtime
- Only AWS credentials (for SSM access) in `.env`
- Supports both read-write and read-only users

### ✅ SSL Configuration
- SSL enabled with `rejectUnauthorized: false` for self-signed certificates
- Connection string includes `?sslmode=require`
- Proper SSL configuration in connection pool

## 📋 Required Environment Variables

### For AWS Database (Production)
```env
# AWS Configuration (for SSM access)
AWS_REGION=ap-south-1
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your_aws_access_key
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your_aws_secret_key
USE_AWS_SSM=true

# JWT Configuration
JWT_ACCESS_SECRET=your_secret
JWT_REFRESH_SECRET=your_secret
```

### Optional
```env
DB_USE_READONLY=false  # false = read_write_user, true = read_only_user
DB_HOST=db.livingai.app
DB_PORT=5432
DB_NAME=livingai_test_db
```

## 🔄 Migration Steps

1. **Set up AWS SSM Parameters:**
   - Create `/test/livingai/db/app` with read-write user credentials (JSON format)
   - Create `/test/livingai/db/app/readonly` with read-only user credentials (optional)

2. **Update `.env` file:**
   - Add AWS credentials (AWS_REGION, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY)
   - Set `USE_AWS_SSM=true`
   - Remove any database credentials (DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DATABASE_URL)

3. **Verify IAM Permissions:**
   - Ensure IAM user/role has `ssm:GetParameter` permission for both SSM parameter paths

4. **Test Connection:**
   - Start application: `npm start`
   - Verify logs show successful SSM credential fetch and database connection

## 🧪 Testing Checklist

- [ ] AWS SSM parameters created with correct paths and JSON format
- [ ] IAM user has SSM read permissions
- [ ] `.env` file has AWS credentials (no DB credentials)
- [ ] `USE_AWS_SSM=true` in `.env`
- [ ] Application starts without errors
- [ ] Database connection established successfully
- [ ] SSL connection working (no SSL errors)
- [ ] API endpoints respond correctly
- [ ] Database queries execute successfully
- [ ] All business logic works as before

## 🔍 Verification Commands

### Check AWS SSM Parameter
```bash
aws ssm get-parameter --name "/test/livingai/db/app" --with-decryption --region ap-south-1
```

### Test Database Connection
```bash
npm start
# Look for these log messages:
# ✅ Successfully fetched DB credentials from SSM: /test/livingai/db/app (read-write user)
# ✅ Using database credentials from AWS SSM Parameter Store
# ✅ Database connection established successfully
```

## ⚠️ Important Notes

1. **No Breaking Changes**: All business logic remains unchanged. Only database connection configuration was updated.

2. **Backward Compatibility**: Local development still works with `DATABASE_URL` when `USE_AWS_SSM=false`.

3. **Security**: Database credentials are never stored in files. They are fetched from AWS SSM at runtime.

4. **SSL**: Self-signed certificates are supported via `rejectUnauthorized: false` configuration.

5. **Connection Pooling**: Configured with sensible defaults (max 20 connections, 30s idle timeout).

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions are documented in `docs/getting-started/AWS_DATABASE_MIGRATION.md` under the "Troubleshooting" section.

## ✨ Next Steps

1. Review the changes in the modified files
2. Set up AWS SSM parameters with your database credentials
3. Update your `.env` file with AWS credentials
4. Test the connection
5. Deploy to your AWS environment
