Hardening and preventive measures

• Automated integrity checks: schedule periodic verifications of key files and DB schemas.
• Robust config management: store configuration in a version-controlled repository and use templates for environments.
• Monitoring & alerts: watch for failed loads, latency, and resource exhaustion; alert on repeated failures.
• Backup and recovery: maintain rolling automated backups of TecDoc data and configuration; periodically test restores.
• Staged updates: test new TecDoc data versions in a staging environment before production import.
• Use health checks: expose a /health endpoint that verifies data load status so orchestrators can restart or alert.
• Use secrets management: keep credentials out of plaintext configs and rotate regularly.
• Keep software and TLS libs updated to avoid incompatibilities.
