Security Configuration

Security best practices:

Use strong, unique passwords for database
Generate a secure JWT_SECRET (at least 32 characters)
Never commit .env files to version control
Use environment-specific configurations
Enable HTTPS in production
Restrict database access to application servers only

Verifying Configuration

After configuration, verify everything works:

# Check API health
curl http://localhost:8000/api/health

# Check database connection
docker compose exec api python -c "from app.db.session import get_db; print('DB OK')"

# Test model connectivity
# (Check logs for model API calls)

bash
