## 🔧 Configuration

### Environment Variables
| Variable | Description | Default |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `API_KEY` | Bearer token for authentication | `hackrx-2024-secure-key` |
| `GEMINI_API_KEY` | Google Gemini API key | Provided |
| `HOST` | Server host | `0.0.0.0` |
| `PORT` | Server port | `8000` |
| `DEBUG` | Debug mode | `False` |

### Performance Tuning
- **Memory**: Ensure 4GB+ RAM for large PDFs
- **Timeout**: Set to 30 seconds for optimal performance
- **Concurrency**: Supports multiple simultaneous requests

## 🧪 Testing

### Run Tests
```bash
# Install test dependencies
pip install pytest pytest-asyncio httpx

# Run tests
pytest test_api.py -v
```

### Load Testing
```bash
# Install locust
pip install locust

# Run load test
locust -f load_test.py --host=http://localhost:8000
```

## 📊 Monitoring

### Health Check
```bash
curl http://localhost:8000/health
```

### Logging
- Logs are written to stdout
- Use `docker logs` for containerized deployments
- Integrate with monitoring tools like Datadog or New Relic

## 🔍 Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

1. **PDF Download Fails**
   - Check URL accessibility
   - Verify file format (PDF only)
   - Ensure HTTPS URLs for production

2. **Slow Response Times**
   - Increase server resources
   - Optimize PDF size (< 10MB recommended)
   - Check network connectivity

3. **Authentication Errors**
   - Verify Bearer token format
   - Check API key in environment variables

4. **Memory Issues**
   - Monitor RAM usage during processing
   - Consider PDF size limits
   - Use streaming for large files

### Debug Mode
```bash
# Enable debug logging
DEBUG=True python fastapi_app.py
```
