# Apollo Deploy Integration

## Overview

Deploy Apollo.io integrations to production with configurations for Vercel, GCP Cloud Run, and Kubernetes. All configurations use `x-api-key` header auth, health check endpoints verifying Apollo connectivity, and secret management best practices.

## Prerequisites

- Valid Apollo master API key
- Node.js 18+
- Target platform CLI installed (vercel, gcloud, or kubectl)

## Instructions

### Step 1: Health Check Endpoint

Every deployment needs a health endpoint that verifies Apollo API connectivity.

```typescript
// src/health.ts
import axios from 'axios';
import { Router } from 'express';

export const healthRouter = Router();

healthRouter.get('/health', async (req, res) => {
  const checks: Record<string, string> = {
    apiKey: process.env.APOLLO_API_KEY ? 'set' : 'MISSING',
    nodeEnv: process.env.NODE_ENV ?? 'not set',
  };

  try {
    const start = Date.now();
    const resp = await axios.get('https://api.apollo.io/api/v1/auth/health', {
      headers: { 'x-api-key': process.env.APOLLO_API_KEY! },
      timeout: 5000,
    });
    checks.apollo = resp.data.is_logged_in ? `ok (${Date.now() - start}ms)` : 'invalid key';
  } catch (err: any) {
    checks.apollo = `error: ${err.response?.status ?? err.message}`;
  }

  const healthy = checks.apollo.startsWith('ok') && checks.apiKey === 'set';
  res.status(healthy ? 200 : 503).json({ status: healthy ? 'healthy' : 'unhealthy', checks });
});
```

### Step 2: Deploy to GCP Cloud Run

```dockerfile
FROM node:20-slim AS build
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci --production=false
COPY . .
RUN npm run build

FROM node:20-slim
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=build /app/dist ./dist
COPY --from=build /app/node_modules ./node_modules
COPY package*.json ./
EXPOSE 8080
CMD ["node", "dist/index.js"]
```

```bash
# Store API key in GCP Secret Manager
echo -n "$APOLLO_API_KEY" | gcloud secrets create apollo-api-key --data-file=-

# Deploy with secret injection
gcloud run deploy apollo-integration \
  --source . \
  --region us-central1 \
  --set-secrets "APOLLO_API_KEY=apollo-api-key:latest" \
  --set-env-vars "NODE_ENV=production" \
  --min-instances 1 --max-instances 10 \
  --port 8080
```

### Step 3: Deploy to Vercel

```json
{
  "name": "apollo-integration",
  "builds": [{ "src": "src/index.ts", "use": "@vercel/node" }],
  "routes": [{ "src": "/(.*)", "dest": "src/index.ts" }],
  "env": { "APOLLO_API_KEY": "@apollo-api-key", "NODE_ENV": "production" }
}
```

```bash
vercel secrets add apollo-api-key "$APOLLO_API_KEY"
vercel --prod
```

### Step 4: Deploy to Kubernetes

```yaml
# k8s/deployment.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: apollo-integration
spec:
  replicas: 2
  selector:
    matchLabels: { app: apollo-integration }
  template:
    metadata:
      labels: { app: apollo-integration }
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: apollo
          image: gcr.io/my-project/apollo-integration:latest
          ports: [{ containerPort: 8080 }]
          envFrom:
            - secretRef: { name: apollo-credentials }
          env:
            - { name: NODE_ENV, value: "production" }
          livenessProbe:
            httpGet: { path: /health, port: 8080 }
            initialDelaySeconds: 10
            periodSeconds: 30
          readinessProbe:
            httpGet: { path: /health, port: 8080 }
            initialDelaySeconds: 5
            periodSeconds: 10
          resources:
            requests: { memory: "128Mi", cpu: "100m" }
            limits: { memory: "256Mi", cpu: "500m" }
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: apollo-credentials
type: Opaque
stringData:
  APOLLO_API_KEY: "your-master-key-here"
```

### Step 5: Pre-Deploy Validation

```typescript
// src/scripts/pre-deploy.ts
async function preDeployCheck() {
  const checks: Array<{ name: string; pass: boolean }> = [];

  // API key set
  checks.push({ name: 'APOLLO_API_KEY set', pass: !!process.env.APOLLO_API_KEY });

  // Auth works
  try {
    const resp = await axios.get('https://api.apollo.io/api/v1/auth/health', {
      headers: { 'x-api-key': process.env.APOLLO_API_KEY! },
    });
    checks.push({ name: 'Apollo auth valid', pass: resp.data.is_logged_in });
  } catch { checks.push({ name: 'Apollo auth valid', pass: false }); }

  // Build succeeds
  try {
    const { execSync } = await import('child_process');
    execSync('npm run build', { stdio: 'pipe' });
    checks.push({ name: 'Build succeeds', pass: true });
  } catch { checks.push({ name: 'Build succeeds', pass: false }); }

  const allPass = checks.every((c) => c.pass);
  checks.forEach((c) => console.log(`${c.pass ? 'PASS' : 'FAIL'} ${c.name}`));
  console.log(`\nDeploy: ${allPass ? 'READY' : 'BLOCKED'}`);
  process.exit(allPass ? 0 : 1);
}
preDeployCheck();
```

## Output

- Express health check endpoint verifying Apollo connectivity
- GCP Cloud Run deployment with Secret Manager integration
- Vercel deployment with encrypted secrets
- Kubernetes manifests with liveness/readiness probes
- Pre-deploy validation script

## Error Handling

| Issue | Resolution |
|-------|------------|
| Health check 503 | Check APOLLO_API_KEY secret is mounted correctly |
| Container crash loop | Review startup logs, verify secret names match |
| Rollback needed | `gcloud run deploy --revision`, `vercel rollback`, or `kubectl rollout undo` |
| Secret rotation | Update secret, redeploy — health check confirms new key works |
