# MVP Platform Service
## Overview
The MVP Platform service is an **integrated service** that provides platform capabilities to the MotoVaultPro application. This service is part of the simplified 6-container architecture.
## Architecture
The platform service is integrated into the main application stack:
- **Service Container**: mvp-platform
- **Shared Database**: Uses mvp-postgres
- **Shared Cache**: Uses mvp-redis
## Platform Capabilities
### Vehicle Data Service
The platform provides vehicle data capabilities including:
- Vehicle makes, models, trims
- Engine and transmission data
- VIN decoding
- Year-based vehicle information
**Data Source**: Vehicle data from standardized sources
**Cache Strategy**: Year-based hierarchical caching using mvp-redis
## Service Communication
### Application → Platform Communication
- **Protocol**: Internal service calls within the application
- **Database**: Shared mvp-postgres database
- **Cache**: Shared mvp-redis cache
## Development Workflow
### Local Development
**Start All Services**:
```bash
make start # Starts all 6 containers
```
**Service Logs**:
```bash
make logs # All service logs
docker logs mvp-platform
```
**Service Shell Access**:
```bash
docker exec -it mvp-platform sh
```
### Database Management
**Shared Database**:
- **PostgreSQL** (port 5432): mvp-postgres
- **Redis** (port 6379): mvp-redis
**Database Access**:
```bash
# PostgreSQL
make db-shell-app
```
## Deployment Strategy
### Integrated Deployment
The platform service deploys with the main application:
- Same deployment pipeline
- Shares database and cache
- Deployed as part of 6-container stack
## Integration Patterns
### Data Access
Application features access platform data through shared database:
- Direct database queries
- Shared cache for performance
- Single transaction context
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
**Service Discovery Problems**:
- Verify Docker networking: `docker network ls`
- Check container connectivity: `docker exec -it mvp-platform sh`
**Database Connection Issues**:
- Verify mvp-postgres is healthy
- Check port mappings and network connectivity
### Health Checks
**Verify Platform Service**:
```bash
docker ps | grep mvp-platform
```
### Logs and Debugging
**Service Logs**:
```bash
docker logs mvp-platform --tail=100 -f
```
**Database Logs**:
```bash
docker logs mvp-postgres --tail=100 -f
```
