Common Failure Modes and Remediation

Issue: Service Fails to Start (Port Already in Use)

Symptoms:

Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp4 0.0.0.0:3000: bind: address already in use

Diagnosis:

# Find process using the port (Windows)
netstat -ano | findstr :3000

# Find process using the port (Linux/Mac)
lsof -i :3000

# Check if old container is still running
docker ps -a | grep api-gateway

Remediation:

# Kill process on Windows
taskkill /PID <PID> /F

# Kill process on Linux/Mac
kill -9 <PID>

# Remove old container
docker rm -f keycloak-alpha-api-gateway-1

# Restart service
docker-compose up -d api-gateway

Issue: Service Crashes on Startup (Dependency Not Ready)

Symptoms:

Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:27017
MongoNetworkError: failed to connect to server

Diagnosis:

# Check if MongoDB is running
docker-compose ps mongodb

# Check MongoDB logs
docker-compose logs mongodb

# Test MongoDB connection
docker-compose exec mongodb mongo --eval "db.version()"

Remediation:

# Ensure databases start first
docker-compose up -d mongodb postgres

# Wait for databases to be healthy (30 seconds)
sleep 30

# Start dependent services
docker-compose up -d keycloak user-service api-gateway

# Verify health
curl http://localhost:3001/api/users/health

Issue: Keycloak Not Accessible (PostgreSQL Connection Failed)

Symptoms:

ERROR: Failed to obtain JDBC connection
ERROR: Connection to keycloak-db:5432 refused

Diagnosis:

# Check PostgreSQL status
docker-compose ps postgres

# Check PostgreSQL logs for errors
docker-compose logs postgres | grep ERROR

# Verify PostgreSQL accepts connections
docker-compose exec postgres pg_isready

# Check Keycloak environment variables
docker-compose exec keycloak env | grep DB

Remediation:

# Restart PostgreSQL
docker-compose restart postgres

# Wait for PostgreSQL to be ready
until docker-compose exec postgres pg_isready; do
  echo "Waiting for PostgreSQL..."
  sleep 2
done

# Restart Keycloak
docker-compose restart keycloak

# Verify Keycloak health
curl http://localhost:8080/health

Issue: Service Unreachable from Other Services (Network Issue)

Symptoms:

Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND keycloak
NetworkError: Failed to fetch http://user-service:3001

Diagnosis:

# Check network exists
docker network ls | grep keycloak-alpha

# Inspect network
docker network inspect keycloak-alpha-network

# Check if service is on network
docker inspect keycloak-alpha-api-gateway-1 | grep NetworkMode

# Test connectivity from one service to another
docker-compose exec api-gateway curl http://user-service:3001/api/users/health

Remediation:

# Recreate network (will restart all services)
docker-compose down
docker-compose up -d

# Or attach service to network manually
docker network connect keycloak-alpha-network keycloak-alpha-api-gateway-1

# Restart service to refresh network config
docker-compose restart api-gateway

Issue: Service Running But Health Check Fails

Symptoms:

Container is Up but health check returns 503 Service Unavailable

Diagnosis:

# Check service logs for errors
docker-compose logs --tail=100 user-service

# Check resource usage
docker stats --no-stream

# Verify environment variables
docker-compose exec user-service env | grep -E "KEYCLOAK|MONGODB|PORT"

# Test health endpoint directly from container
docker-compose exec user-service curl http://localhost:3001/api/users/health

Remediation:

# Check application-level errors in logs
docker-compose logs user-service | grep -i error

# Restart with fresh logs
docker-compose restart user-service && docker-compose logs -f user-service

# If environment issue, update .env and recreate
docker-compose up -d --force-recreate user-service

# If code issue, rebuild image
docker-compose build user-service && docker-compose up -d user-service

Issue: Memory/CPU Exhaustion

Symptoms:

Container killed due to OOM (Out of Memory)
Service responding slowly or timing out

Diagnosis:

# Check resource usage
docker stats --no-stream

# Check container resource limits
docker inspect keycloak-alpha-api-gateway-1 | grep -A 10 "Memory"

# Check system resources
free -h  # Linux
systemctl status docker  # Linux

Remediation:

# Add resource limits to docker-compose.yml
# Example:
# services:
#   api-gateway:
#     deploy:
#       resources:
#         limits:
#           cpus: '1.0'
#           memory: 1G
#         reservations:
#           cpus: '0.5'
#           memory: 512M

# Restart with limits
docker-compose up -d

# Monitor after restart
docker stats

Best Practices

1. Startup:

   • Always start databases first
   • Wait for Keycloak before starting microservices
   • Use health checks, not sleep timers

2. Monitoring:

   • Implement health endpoints in all services
   • Use docker-compose ps for quick status
   • Monitor logs for errors during startup

3. Development:

   • Use docker-compose up without -d for debugging
   • Use --build flag when code changes
   • Use docker-compose restart for config changes

4. Troubleshooting:

   • Check logs first: docker-compose logs -f <service>
   • Verify environment variables are set correctly
   • Test network connectivity between services
   • Check resource usage with docker stats

5. Production Readiness:

   • Add resource limits to all services
   • Configure restart policies (restart: unless-stopped)
   • Use health checks in docker-compose.yml
   • Implement graceful shutdown handlers

Tool Usage Guidelines

• Bash: Execute Docker commands, health checks, service management
• Read: Read docker-compose.yml, service logs, configuration files
• Grep: Search logs for errors, filter service output
• Glob: Find all service configuration files, environment files

Output Format

When completing tasks, provide:

1. Current Status: Show running services and their health
2. Actions Taken: List of commands executed
3. Results: Success/failure of each operation
4. Next Steps: Recommendations or monitoring suggestions
5. Warnings: Any potential issues detected

Always verify service health after making changes and provide rollback instructions for critical operations.
