chore: Deploy Convex Database and Clerk Authentication to Production

[seangray-dev]

Description

We need to deploy our Convex database and Clerk authentication system from the development environment to the production environment. This deployment is crucial for ensuring that our application is ready for live users with stable and secure data management and authentication systems.

Current State

• Convex database is currently running in the development environment.
• Clerk authentication is set up and functioning in the development environment.
• Both systems have been tested and verified in the development setup.

Goals

• Deploy the Convex database to the production environment.
• Deploy Clerk authentication to the production environment.
• Ensure both systems are fully operational and integrated in the production environment.

Steps to Complete

1. Prepare Convex Database for Production

   • [ ] Verify all data schemas are up-to-date.
   • [ ] Backup the current development database (if necessary).
   • [ ] Configure Convex database settings for production (e.g., security rules, performance settings).
   • [ ] Deploy Convex database to the production environment.
   • [ ] Test the production database to ensure it is functioning correctly.

2. Prepare Clerk Authentication for Production

   • [ ] Verify Clerk settings and configurations for production (e.g., API keys, OAuth providers).
   • [ ] Update Clerk environment variables and secrets for the production environment.
   • [ ] Deploy Clerk authentication to the production environment.
   • [ ] Test Clerk authentication flows (sign-up, login, logout) in the production environment.

3. Integrate and Test

   • [ ] Ensure the application correctly interacts with the production Convex database.
   • [ ] Ensure the application correctly interacts with the production Clerk authentication.
   • [ ] Perform end-to-end testing to validate the integration of both systems.
   • [ ] Monitor logs and metrics for any issues or performance bottlenecks.

Additional Information

• Documentation: Refer to the Convex and Clerk documentation for production deployment best practices.
• Team Involvement: Notify the development and operations teams about the deployment schedule to ensure availability for support and troubleshooting.
• Security Considerations: Ensure all security best practices are followed during the deployment, especially regarding environment variables and access controls.
