# Modal Deployment Guide

## Overview

RewardPilot uses Modal for serverless batch processing of credit card transactions at scale. Modal enables processing 1000+ transactions in parallel with automatic scaling and cost optimization.

## Why Modal?

| Feature | Traditional Hosting | Modal Serverless |
|---------|-------------------|------------------|
| **Scaling** | Manual configuration | Automatic (0 to 1000s) |
| **Cost** | Pay for idle time | Pay per second of compute |
| **Cold Start** | N/A | ~2-3 seconds |
| **Concurrency** | Limited by server | Unlimited parallelism |
| **Deployment** | Complex CI/CD | `modal deploy` |

**Cost Example:**
- Processing 1000 transactions
- Traditional: $50/month (always-on server)
- Modal: $0.12 (2 minutes of compute)

## Setup

### 1. Install Modal

```bash
pip install modal
```

### 2. Create Modal Account

```bash
# Sign up and authenticate
modal token new
```

This opens a browser for authentication and stores credentials in `~/.modal.toml`.

### 3. Create Secrets

```bash
# Create secret with all API keys
modal secret create api-keys \
  ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-xxxxx \
  GEMINI_API_KEY=AIzaSyxxxxx \
  OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxxxx \
  ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=sk_xxxxx
```

---

## Advanced Features

### 1. Retry Logic

```python
@app.function(
    image=image,
    retries=3,  # Retry failed invocations
    timeout=60
)
async def process_with_retry(transaction: Dict):
    """Automatically retry on failure"""
    pass
```

### 2. Rate Limiting

```python
from modal import Rate

@app.function(
    image=image,
    rate_limit=Rate(100, 60)  # Max 100 requests per minute
)
async def rate_limited_process(transaction: Dict):
    """Prevent API throttling"""
    pass
```

### 3. GPU Acceleration (for ML models)

```python
@app.function(
    image=image,
    gpu="T4",  # Use NVIDIA T4 GPU
    timeout=300
)
async def ml_inference(data: Dict):
    """Run ML models on GPU"""
    pass
```

### 4. Scheduled Jobs

```python
@app.function(
    image=image,
    schedule=modal.Cron("0 0 * * *")  # Daily at midnight
)
async def daily_batch_job():
    """Process all pending transactions"""
    pass
```

---

## Cost Optimization

### 1. Right-Size Compute

```python
# Small transactions: 0.5 CPU
@app.function(cpu=0.5, memory=512)
async def process_small(): pass

# Large transactions: 4 CPU
@app.function(cpu=4.0, memory=4096)
async def process_large(): pass
```

### 2. Batch Similar Transactions

```python
# Group by category for better caching
transactions_by_category = {}
for txn in transactions:
    category = txn["category"]
    if category not in transactions_by_category:
        transactions_by_category[category] = []
    transactions_by_category[category].append(txn)
```

### 3. Use Volumes for Caching

```python
volume = modal.Volume.from_name("rewardpilot-cache", create_if_missing=True)

@app.function(
    image=image,
    volumes={"/cache": volume}
)
async def cached_process():
    """Cache card data between invocations"""
    pass
```

---

## Troubleshooting

### Issue: Cold Starts

**Problem:** First request takes 5-10 seconds

**Solution:** Keep containers warm

```python
@app.function(
    image=image,
    keep_warm=5  # Keep 5 containers always ready
)
async def process(): pass
```

### Issue: Timeout Errors

**Problem:** Long-running transactions timeout

**Solution:** Increase timeout

```python
@app.function(
    image=image,
    timeout=600  # 10 minutes
)
async def process(): pass
```

### Issue: API Rate Limits

**Problem:** MCP servers throttle requests

**Solution:** Add exponential backoff

```python
import asyncio

async def call_with_backoff(url, data, max_retries=3):
    for attempt in range(max_retries):
        try:
            response = await client.post(url, json=data)
            return response.json()
        except httpx.HTTPError:
            if attempt < max_retries - 1:
                await asyncio.sleep(2 ** attempt)  # 1s, 2s, 4s
            else:
                raise
```

---

## Next Steps

1. **Add more batch operations:**
   - Monthly optimization reports
   - Annual rewards summaries
   - Spending forecasts

2. **Integrate with databases:**
   - Store results in PostgreSQL
   - Cache frequent queries

3. **Add webhooks:**
   - Real-time transaction notifications
   - Automatic processing
