Stage 9 Report

Stage 9 Completion Report

Implemented

• Database scaling review and partitioning plan
• Daily merchant and platform summary tables
• Queue locking, stale lock release, failed-job retry, worker heartbeats
• Background job handler foundation
• Cache service with Redis support and file fallback
• Slow request logging and admin observability endpoint
• Deep health check endpoint
• Backup, restore, deployment, supervisor, cron, and logrotate files
• Load testing examples and operational runbooks

Known Limitations

• Optional partition scripts are not automatically run.
• Queue handlers are safe placeholders for some external integrations until real PSP/provider code is connected.
• Redis is optional; file cache fallback is suitable for staging but not ideal for multi-node production.

Next Recommended Stage

Prepare real PSP/provider sandbox integrations, external reconciliation file imports, and a formal staging load test plan.

SikaaHub is ready for controlled staging deployment and pilot preparation, but not production-certified until provider integrations, penetration testing, legal review, and regulatory review are complete.
