#Security and Operations

#Secrets Handling

• Never commit GIT_TOKEN or private credentials into source control.
• Inject credentials at runtime through secret managers or orchestrator-native secrets.
• Avoid plaintext secrets inside compose files whenever possible.

#Private Repository Access

For mode=git with private repos:

• provide GIT_USERNAME
• provide GIT_TOKEN
• keep token scope minimal (read-only if possible)

#Runtime Hardening Checklist

• Run with explicit image tag/version, not floating latest.
• Restrict outbound network where feasible.
• Limit container privileges and filesystem write scope.
• Add health checks using /functions-health.
• Capture logs centrally and redact sensitive values.

#Operational Baseline

• Keep startup mode explicit (MODE=git|npm|url).
• Validate required env vars before release rollout.
• Monitor restart loops and startup errors in container logs.
• Use rollout strategy that supports rollback (blue/green or canary where possible).

#Incident Triage Quick Steps

1. Check container logs for mode-specific errors (GIT_CLONE_URL, NPM_TAR, URL_TAR).
2. Verify /functions-health responds.
3. Check /functions-all to confirm descriptor discovery.
4. Verify networking/ingress and port mapping (PORT, service target port).
5. Roll back image/env to last known good deployment if needed.
