📋 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

🚨 Model Not Found

# Ensure model is trained
python src/components/model_trainer.py

# Check artifacts directory
ls -la artifacts/

🚨 Port Already in Use

# Change port in app.py or environment
export FLASK_PORT=5001
python app.py

# Or kill process using port
lsof -ti:5000 | xargs kill -9

🚨 Memory Issues

# Reduce batch size in params.yaml
# Monitor memory usage
python performance_analysis.py

🚨 Slow Predictions

# Check model optimization
# Consider model quantization
# Scale horizontally with load balancer

Logging

# Check application logs
tail -f logs/data_transformation.log
tail -f logs/api.log

# Docker logs
docker-compose logs diamond-api

Performance Tuning

# Profile application
