🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Docker & Docker Compose
• Node.js 18+ (for local development)
• Telegram Bot Token
• PostgreSQL 15+
• Redis 7+

Environment Setup

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/telegram-clicker-miniapp.git
   cd telegram-clicker-miniapp

2. Configure environment variables

   cp .env.example .env
   # Edit .env with your configuration

3. Start the application

   docker-compose up -d

4. Initialize database

   docker-compose exec api npx prisma migrate dev

Environment Variables

# Database
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:password@postgres:5432/clicker_game
REDIS_URL=redis://redis:6379

# Telegram
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=your_bot_token_here
TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_URL=https://your-domain.com
WEBAPP_URL=https://your-domain.com

# Application
NODE_ENV=production
LOG_LEVEL=info

📊 Performance & Scalability

Current Capacity

• Users: 100,000+ total users
• Concurrent: 5,000+ active sessions
• Throughput: 50 clicks/second per user
• Response Time: <100ms average

Scaling Strategies

Horizontal Scaling

# docker-compose.scale.yml
services:
  api:
    deploy:
      replicas: 3
  bot:
    deploy:
      replicas: 2
  worker:
    deploy:
      replicas: 4

Database Optimization

• Read Replicas: Separate read/write operations
• Connection Pooling: Optimized connection management
• Indexing: Strategic database indexes
• Partitioning: User data partitioning by region

Caching Strategy

• Redis Clusters: Distributed caching
• CDN Integration: Static asset delivery
• Edge Computing: Regional data centers

Monitoring & Observability

• Metrics: Prometheus + Grafana
• Logging: Structured logging with correlation IDs
• Tracing: Distributed tracing with OpenTelemetry
• Alerts: Real-time alerting system

🔧 Development

Local Development

1. Start services

   docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d

2. Run migrations

   docker-compose exec api npx prisma migrate dev

3. Seed database

   docker-compose exec api npx prisma db seed

Testing

# Run all tests
npm test

# Run specific service tests
cd services/api && npm test
cd services/bot && npm test

Code Quality

• Linting: ESLint + Prettier
• Type Checking: TypeScript strict mode
• Testing: Jest + Supertest
• Security: Automated vulnerability scanning

🚀 Deployment
