Phase 2: Local Development & Testing

Phase: 2 of 6
Duration: 2 weeks (Weeks 5-6)
Status: 🎯 READY TO START
Prerequisites: Phase 1 Complete ✅

Executive Summary

Phase 2 focuses on local development and testing of the self-hostable stack integration, specifically adding Plane project management alongside the existing pipeline services setup. This phase is 100% local and functional, enabling rapid development and testing without deployment complexity.

Strategic Importance: This phase establishes the core project management capability for Zixly’s internal operations while maintaining a local development environment for rapid iteration and testing.

Foundation Context:

Phase 1: Data Foundation - Complete ✅
System Architecture - Technical patterns
Business Model - Strategic rationale and dogfooding approach

Implementation Guidance:

Internal Operations Guide - Business requirements
Time Tracking System - Operational standards
Pipeline Workflow Capabilities - Technical patterns

Phase 2 Objectives

Primary Goals

Local Docker Environment - Spin up both pipeline services and Plane locally with single command
Plane Integration - Configure Plane for Zixly internal project management
Plane Smoke Test - Pipeline Workflow to validate Plane connectivity and functionality
Local Development Workflow - Streamlined development and testing process

Success Criteria

✅ Both pipeline services and Plane running locally via Docker Compose
✅ Plane smoke test workflow operational in pipeline services
✅ Plane configured for Zixly internal project management
✅ Local development workflow documented and functional
✅ All functionality testable without external dependencies

Implementation Plan

Week 6: Plane Configuration & Integration

6.1 Plane Setup

Initial Configuration Steps:

Access Plane: http://localhost:8000
Complete Setup Wizard:
- Create admin account
- Set up workspace: “Zixly Internal Operations”
- Configure team members
Create Project Templates:
- Client Onboarding Template
- Support Ticket Template
- Internal Operations Template
Generate API Token:
- Go to Settings → API Tokens
- Create token with full access
- Store in pipeline services credentials

# Zixly Local Development Environment

## Quick Start

1. **Setup environment**:
   ```bash
   ./scripts/setup-local.sh
   ```

Configure credentials:
- Update .env.local with your values
- Configure pipeline services credentials in the interface
Start the stack:
```
./scripts/start-local.sh
```
Access services:
- pipeline services: http://localhost:5678
- Plane: http://localhost:8000
- PostgreSQL: localhost:5432
- Redis: localhost:6379
Configure Plane:
- Complete setup wizard
- Generate API token
- Update pipeline services credentials
Import smoke test workflow:
- Import plane-smoke-test.json in pipeline services
- Configure credentials
- Execute workflow

Development Workflow

Daily Development

Start stack: ./scripts/start-local.sh
Make changes to workflows
Test changes in pipeline services
Stop stack: ./scripts/stop-local.sh

Clean Development

Clean stack: ./scripts/clean-local.sh
Start fresh: ./scripts/start-local.sh
Reconfigure services

Debugging

Check logs: docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml logs [service]
Access containers: docker exec -it zixly-[service] bash
Database access: docker exec -it zixly-postgres psql -U zixly_admin -d zixly_main

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Port conflicts: Check if ports 5432, 5678, 6379, 8000 are available
Docker not running: Start Docker Desktop
Services not starting: Check logs for errors
Database connection issues: Wait for PostgreSQL to be ready

Reset Everything

./scripts/clean-local.sh
./scripts/start-local.sh

Security Notes

All credentials are stored in .env.local (not committed to git)
Use strong passwords for local development
Never commit real credentials to version control
Use .env.local.template as a reference for required variables

## Success Criteria & Validation

### Technical Validation

| Component | Success Criteria | Validation Method |
|-----------|------------------|-------------------|
| **Docker Services** | Both pipeline services and Plane containers healthy | `docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml ps` |
| **Local Access** | Both services accessible via localhost | `curl http://localhost:5678` and `curl http://localhost:8000` |
| **Database** | Both pipeline services and Plane databases accessible | Connect to each service database |
| **Plane Smoke Test** | Workflow executes successfully | Run smoke test workflow in pipeline services |
| **Integration** | pipeline services can create projects/issues in Plane | Manual test via Pipeline Workflows |

### Performance Validation

| Metric | Target | Measurement |
|--------|--------|-------------|
| **Service Startup** | < 2 minutes | Time from `./scripts/start-local.sh` to both healthy |
| **Plane API Response** | < 500ms | API calls from pipeline services to Plane |
| **Memory Usage** | < 2GB total | `docker stats --no-stream` |
| **Disk Usage** | < 5GB | `df -h` on local machine |

## Local Development Benefits

### Advantages of Local Development

1. **Rapid Iteration** - No deployment delays
2. **Offline Development** - No internet dependency
3. **Easy Debugging** - Direct access to logs and containers
4. **Cost Effective** - No cloud infrastructure costs
5. **Version Control** - All changes tracked in git
6. **Team Collaboration** - Consistent local environment

### Development Workflow

1. **Start Development**:
   ```bash
   ./scripts/start-local.sh

Make Changes:
- Edit workflows in pipeline services
- Modify Plane configuration
- Update database schemas
Test Changes:
- Run smoke test workflow
- Validate integration
- Check logs for errors

Commit Changes:

git add .
git commit -m "feat: add plane integration workflow"

Stop Development:
```
./scripts/stop-local.sh
```

Security Considerations

Credential Management

Environment Variables:
- All sensitive data in .env.local (not committed)
- Template file .env.local.template for reference
- Strong passwords for local development
Database Security:
- Local PostgreSQL with restricted access
- No external network exposure
- Data encrypted at rest
Network Security:
- Services only accessible via localhost
- No external port exposure
- Internal Docker network isolation

Best Practices

Never commit credentials:

# Add to .gitignore
.env.local
.env.production

Use strong passwords:

# Generate secure passwords
openssl rand -base64 32

Regular credential rotation:
- Change passwords monthly
- Update API tokens regularly
- Monitor access logs

Next Phase Preparation

Phase 3 Prerequisites

With local development complete, Phase 3 will focus on:

Production Deployment - Deploy to DigitalOcean
SSL/TLS Configuration - Traefik with Let’s Encrypt
Monitoring Setup - Prometheus and Grafana
Backup Systems - Automated backups

Local to Production Migration

The local development environment provides:

Validated Workflows - All Pipeline Workflows tested locally
Database Schema - PostgreSQL setup ready for production
Integration Patterns - pipeline services to Plane integration proven
Documentation - Complete setup and troubleshooting guides

Conclusion

Phase 2 establishes a robust local development environment for Zixly’s self-hostable stack integration. This approach provides:

Rapid Development - Local environment enables fast iteration
Cost Efficiency - No cloud infrastructure costs during development
Team Collaboration - Consistent local environment for all developers
Production Readiness - Validated workflows ready for deployment
Security - Secure credential management and network isolation

By completing Phase 2, Zixly has a fully functional local development environment with Plane integration, ready for production deployment in Phase 3.

Phase 2 Status: 🎯 READY FOR LOCAL DEVELOPMENT
Estimated Implementation Time: 20 hours over 2 weeks
Critical Path: Docker setup → Plane configuration → Smoke test → Integration validation
