3) Sprint-by-Sprint Plan
Sprint 0 (Week 1–2): Setup & Foundations
Goals
- NX monorepo stable, CI green
- Docker compose infra running locally
- Service scaffolding + shared libraries
Scope
- Repo standards: linting, formatting, commit hooks
- Shared libs: database, cache, messaging, observability
- Health endpoints + Swagger setup
Deliverables
- All services start locally and expose
/health - API Gateway routes to services
Success Criteria
- CI passes on main
- Docker Compose brings infra up reliably
Key Risks
- Tooling drift (node/yarn versions)
- Flaky local infra
Sprint 1 (Week 3–4): User Management (Auth + Profiles)
Goals
- Keycloak integrated end-to-end
- User profile APIs operational
Scope
- Keycloak realm import and client configuration
- Gateway token validation + RBAC guard scaffolding
- User DB migrations +
/users/meendpoints
Deliverables
GET /v1/users/me,PUT /v1/users/me- Role-based route protection
Test Plan
- Auth invalid/expired token tests
- Resource-level checks for profile updates
Sprint 2 (Week 5–6): Field Management
Goals
- Field CRUD and search working
- Admin approval workflow in place
Scope
- Field DB migrations
- Owner-only create/update
- Search filters and pagination
- Optional caching for field details/search
Deliverables
POST /v1/fields,PUT /v1/fields/:id,GET /v1/fields/search- Admin
PUT /v1/fields/:id/status
Test Plan
- Integration tests for search and RBAC
- k6 baseline for search latency
Sprint 3 (Week 7–8): Booking Core
Goals
- Booking create/cancel endpoints
- No double-booking protection
Scope
- Booking DB migrations
- Conflict detection (overlap check + Redis lock)
- Availability lookup by date
Deliverables
POST /v1/bookings,GET /v1/bookings/me,PUT /v1/bookings/:id/cancelGET /v1/fields/:id/availability(gateway route)
Test Plan
- Concurrency integration test (2 → 10 concurrent booking attempts)
- Performance test for booking create
Sprint 4 (Week 9–10): Booking Advanced + Payment MVP
Goals
- Payment intent creation and webhook confirmation
- Booking status updates on payment success
Scope
- Payment DB migrations + idempotency keys
- Provider integration abstraction
- Webhook signature verification and replay protection
- Saga choreography:
- payment success event → booking confirmed
Deliverables
POST /v1/payments/create,POST /v1/webhooks/*,GET /v1/payments/:id- Kafka events: PAYMENT_SUCCESS, BOOKING_CONFIRMED (if enabled)
Test Plan
- Webhook invalid signature and replay tests
- E2E: booking → payment success → booking confirmed
Sprint 5 (Week 11–12): Notifications + MVP Polish
Goals
- Event-driven notifications working
- MongoDB logging for notification attempts
Scope
- Notification service consumes Kafka events
- Email sending (provider integration)
- Retry strategy (BullMQ optional)
- Consistent response model and errors across services
Deliverables
- Booking and payment confirmations via email
- MongoDB
notification_logspopulated
Test Plan
- End-to-end: search→book→pay→notify
- Notification failure retry tests
Sprint 6 (Week 13–14): Security + Performance
Goals
- Security controls production-ready
- Performance budgets met
Scope
- Rate limiting policies hardened
- CORS allowlist + security headers
- Audit logs for admin/payment actions
- DB indexes and caching improvements
Deliverables
- Security regression suite baseline
- Performance report (p95/p99)
Test Plan
- OWASP ZAP baseline scan on staging (optional)
- Load tests for search/booking/webhooks
Sprint 7 (Week 15–16): Monitoring + Observability
Goals
- Full tracing and dashboards in Signoz
- Alerts for key SLO breaches
Scope
- OTEL enabled in all services
- Dashboards for RED/USE metrics
- Kafka lag monitoring
- Alert policies and on-call playbook
Deliverables
- Signoz dashboards for each service
- Alert rules and runbook
Sprint 8 (Week 17–18): Deployment + Production Readiness
Goals
- Staging and production deployments via K8s
- Backup/restore procedures validated
Scope
- K8s manifests (deployments/services/ingress/hpa)
- Secrets management
- CI/CD pipeline for staging + manual gate for prod
- Migration jobs per service
- Backups + restore tests
Deliverables
- Staging environment running end-to-end
- Production readiness checklist draft
Sprint 9 (Week 19–20): Frontend Integration + Testing + Go-live
Goals
- Stable API contract for frontend/mobile clients
- Final quality gates and go-live
Scope
- Contract verification with frontend
- Full regression test suite
- Demo script and go-live checklist
- Release notes and post-launch monitoring
Deliverables
- v1 API stable
- Go-live executed with monitoring and rollback plan
4) Cross-Sprint Dependencies
| Dependency | Needed By | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Keycloak integration | Sprint 1 | Blocks protected endpoints |
| Field search | Sprint 3 | Booking needs fields |
| Booking conflict lock | Sprint 3 | Core correctness |
| Payment webhook security | Sprint 4 | Critical for integrity |
| Kafka topics + events | Sprint 4–5 | Needed for notifications |
| Observability baseline | Sprint 0–7 | Required for debugging |
| K8s manifests | Sprint 8 | Release readiness |
5) Risk Management
Top Risks
- Distributed consistency between booking/payment states.
- Webhook security (forgery/replay).
- Race conditions in booking conflict prevention.
- Operational maturity for Kafka, monitoring, alerting.
Mitigations
- Use idempotency keys + deduplication.
- Implement outbox pattern (Phase 2) if event loss observed.
- Add concurrency tests early (Sprint 3).
- Add dashboards/alerts before production (Sprint 7).
6) Go-Live Checklist (High Level)
- [ ] All services healthy in production
- [ ] Auth + RBAC verified
- [ ] Webhook verification enabled and tested
- [ ] Backups configured + restore tested
- [ ] Alerts configured and on-call ready
- [ ] Rollback plan validated
