# Phase 3 Implementation Summary - OpenTelemetry & Circuit Breakers

**Date**: 2025-01-27
**Status**: ✅ **CORE IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETE**
**Session Focus**: Production hardening with observability and resilience

---

## 🎯 Implementation Overview

Successfully implemented **OpenTelemetry distributed tracing** and **circuit breaker resilience patterns** for Akosha, providing production-ready observability and fault tolerance.

---

## ✅ OpenTelemetry Observability (COMPLETE)

### 1. ✅ Tracing Infrastructure

**File**: `/Users/les/Projects/akosha/akosha/observability/tracing.py` (350 lines)

**Key Features**:
- **Automatic Span Creation**: Trace all operations with context propagation
- **Metrics Collection**: Counters, histograms, gauges for all operations
- **OTLP Export**: Send traces to OpenTelemetry collector
- **Prometheus Metrics**: Expose metrics for scraping
- **Async Instrumentation**: Automatic instrumentation of async operations

**Core Functions**:
```python
# Setup telemetry
tracer, meter = setup_telemetry(
    service_name="akosha-mcp",
    environment="development",
    otlp_endpoint="http://localhost:4317",
    enable_console_export=True,
    sample_rate=1.0,
)

# Trace operations
with trace_operation("generate_embedding", {"text_length": "100"}):
    embedding = await generate_embedding(text)

# Record metrics
record_counter("embedding.generated", 1, {"mode": "real"})
record_histogram("embedding.text_length", len(text), {"mode": "real"})
```

**Decorator for Automatic Tracing**:
```python
@traced("generate_embedding")
async def generate_embedding(text: str) -> np.ndarray:
    # Automatically traced with span creation
    return await model.encode(text)
```

### 2. ✅ Integration with Embedding Service

**File**: `/Users/les/Projects/akosha/akosha/processing/embeddings.py`

**Enhancements**:
- Added `@traced` decorator to `generate_embedding()` and `generate_batch_embeddings()`
- Record metrics for each embedding generation
- Track text length distributions
- Distinguish between real and fallback modes
- Add span attributes for context (text length, mode)

**Metrics Collected**:
```python
# Counters
embedding.generated{mode="real|fallback"}
embedding.batch.generated{mode="real|fallback"}

# Histograms
embedding.text_length{mode="real|fallback"}
embedding.batch_size{mode="real|fallback"}
```

### 3. ✅ MCP Server Integration

**File**: `/Users/les/Projects/akosha/akosha/mcp/server.py`

**Enhancements**:
- Initialize OpenTelemetry on server startup
- Read environment variables for configuration
- Graceful shutdown of telemetry providers
- Export tracer and meter to context

**Environment Variables**:
```bash
ENVIRONMENT=development|production
OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:4317
```

**Lifecycle Integration**:
```python
async def lifespan(server):
    # Startup
    tracer, meter = setup_telemetry(...)

    # ... services initialization ...

    yield {"tracer": tracer, "meter": meter}

    # Shutdown
    await shutdown_telemetry()
```

## ✅ Circuit Breaker Resilience (COMPLETE)

### 1. ✅ Circuit Breaker Implementation

**File**: `/Users/les/Projects/akosha/akosha/resilience/circuit_breaker.py` (430 lines)

**Three-State System**:
1. **CLOSED**: Normal operation, calls pass through
2. **OPEN**: Service failing, calls blocked
3. **HALF_OPEN**: Testing if service recovered (limited calls)

**Features**:
- Configurable failure thresholds (default: 5 failures)
- Success threshold for closing circuit (default: 2 successes)
- Timeout protection per call (default: 30s)
- Automatic state transitions
- Retry logic with exponential backoff
- Comprehensive statistics tracking

**Usage Example**:
```python
breaker = CircuitBreaker("external_api", config=CircuitBreakerConfig(
    failure_threshold=3,
    timeout=60.0,
))

# Protected call with automatic retry
result = await breaker.call(external_api_function)
```

### 2. ✅ Decorator for Automatic Protection

**Feature**: `@with_circuit_breaker` decorator

```python
@with_circuit_breaker("external_api")
async def call_external_api():
    return await httpx.get("https://api.example.com")

# Automatically protected
await call_external_api()  # Circuit breaker + retry logic
```

**Benefits**:
- Zero-code protection for functions
- Automatic service name detection
- Configurable per-function or global
- Works with both sync and async functions

### 3. ✅ Registry for Multiple Services

**CircuitBreakerRegistry**:
```python
registry = get_circuit_breaker_registry()

# Get or create circuit breakers
breaker1 = registry.get_or_create_breaker("service-1", config1)
breaker2 = registry.get_or_create_breaker("service-2", config2)

# Get all statistics
stats = registry.get_all_stats()
```

    print(f"  Consecutive failures: {service_stats['consecutive_failures']}")
```

## 🎓 Key Features

### 1. **Distributed Tracing**

Every operation creates a span with:
- Operation name
- Start/end timestamps
- Attributes (text length, mode, etc.)
- Events (errors, retries)
- Status (OK, ERROR)

**Benefits**:
- Debug performance issues
- Trace requests across services
- Understand system bottlenecks
- Monitor error rates

### 2. **Metrics Collection**

Real-time metrics for:
- Request rates (embeddings per second)
- Operation latency (histograms)
- Error rates (circuit breaker trips)
- System health (success rates)

**Visualization**:
- Grafana dashboards
- Prometheus AlertManager
- Custom observability UIs

### 3. **Fault Tolerance**

Circuit breakers prevent:
- Cascading failures
- Resource exhaustion
- Storm drain effects
- Unnecessary retries

**Benefits**:
- System stays responsive during outages
- Graceful degradation
- Automatic recovery detection
- Configurable thresholds
