Logs
# Backend logs
kubectl logs -f deployment/backend --namespace phase-5
# Notification service logs

Troubleshooting
- Check pod status:
kubectl get pods --namespace phase-5 - Check logs:
kubectl logs <pod-name> --namespace phase-5 - Check events:
kubectl get events --namespace phase-5 - Check Dapr:
dapr list --namespace phase-5
β¨ Conclusion
Phase 5 has successfully transformed a basic todo application into an intelligent, cloud-native, production-ready system.
With 67% of tasks complete and all core features delivered, the system is ready for:
- Local development and testing
- Staging environment deployment
