Status: Code deployed to production. DNS and Railway configuration required.
GitHub Commit: 8b02c6d3 - feat: complete landing page wiring and API subdomain
Netlify Deploy: Auto-triggered by push to main branch
At your domain registrar (where protocol-guide.com is registered):
Add the following CNAME record:
| Record Type | Hostname | Value | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNAME | api |
protocol-guide-production.up.railway.app |
3600 |
Example DNS Configuration:
Type Name Value
CNAME api protocol-guide-production.up.railway.app
DNS Propagation Time: 15 minutes - 2 hours (typically < 1 hour)
Verify DNS Propagation:
# Check DNS resolves correctly
dig api.protocol-guide.com +short
# Expected output:
# protocol-guide-production.up.railway.app.
# [IP addresses from Railway]
# Or use online tool:
# https://dnschecker.org/#CNAME/api.protocol-guide.comRailway Dashboard: https://railway.app/project/[project-id]
- Navigate to protocol-guide-production project
- Click Settings tab
- Select Networking section
- Under Custom Domains, click + Add Domain
- Enter:
api.protocol-guide.com - Click Add Domain
Railway will:
- Verify DNS CNAME points to Railway
- Auto-issue Let's Encrypt SSL certificate (2-5 minutes)
- Display certificate status in Networking section
Wait for SSL Certificate: Monitor the Networking section until you see:
api.protocol-guide.com
✓ SSL Certificate: Active
✓ Status: Healthy
Verify API Subdomain Works:
# Test health endpoint
curl -I https://api.protocol-guide.com/api/health
# Expected: HTTP/2 200 OK
# Expected: Certificate issued by Let's EncryptCheck Netlify deploy status:
# Via Netlify CLI (optional)
netlify status --site protocol-guide
# Or via web:
# https://app.netlify.com/sites/protocol-guide/deploysExpected:
- Deploy status: Published
- Commit:
8b02c6d3- feat: complete landing page wiring... - Deploy time: < 3 minutes
Run the verification script after both DNS and Railway are configured:
cd /Users/tanner-osterkamp/Protocol-Guide
# Create verification script
cat > scripts/verify-production.sh <<'EOFSCRIPT'
#!/bin/bash
BASE_URL="https://protocol-guide.com"
API_URL="https://api.protocol-guide.com"

EOFSCRIPT
chmod +x scripts/verify-production.sh
# Run verification
./scripts/verify-production.shAfter verification script passes, test manually:
Landing Page (https://protocol-guide.com):
- Page loads without errors
- "Sign In" link visible in desktop navigation
- "Sign In" link visible in mobile hamburger menu
- Click "Sign In" → Redirects to
/login - Click "Let's Go" → Redirects to
/(tabs)(search)
Auth Flow:
- Landing → /login → Google OAuth → Callback → /(tabs)
- Landing → /login → Email/password → /(tabs)
Search Flow:
- Enter "cardiac arrest medications"
- Response returned in < 2 seconds
- Citations present ([Protocol #XXX])
API Subdomain:
-
curl -I https://api.protocol-guide.com/api/health - Returns 200 OK with Let's Encrypt certificate
- No certificate warnings in browser
Symptom: dig api.protocol-guide.com returns no results
Fix:
- Wait 15-30 minutes for DNS propagation
- Verify CNAME record is correct at registrar
- Check TTL is 3600 (1 hour) or lower
- Use https://dnschecker.org to check global propagation
Symptom: Railway shows "SSL: Pending" or HTTPS returns certificate error
Fix:
- Ensure DNS CNAME is propagated first (Railway can't issue cert without DNS)
- Wait 2-5 minutes after DNS propagates
- If stuck > 10 min: Remove custom domain from Railway, wait 5 min, re-add
- Contact Railway support if issue persists
Symptom: API calls work but don't use api.protocol-guide.com
Fix:
- Wait for Netlify deploy to complete (check deploy logs)
- Clear Netlify CDN cache:
netlify api purgeCache --site protocol-guide - Hard refresh browser (Ctrl+Shift+R)
Symptom: /api/health returns status: "unhealthy" or "degraded"
Fix:
- Check Railway logs for backend errors
- Verify all environment variables set in Railway dashboard
- Check Supabase database is accessible
- Verify Redis (Upstash) is reachable
| Step | Duration | Can Proceed While Waiting? |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Configure DNS | 2 min | No - Railway needs DNS to issue SSL |
| DNS Propagation | 15 min - 2 hours | Yes - Monitor with dig command |
| 2. Configure Railway | 2 min | No - Need DNS propagated |
| Railway SSL Cert | 2-5 min | No - Need cert for HTTPS |
| 3. Netlify Deploy | 3-5 min | Already triggered, monitor status |
| 4. Verification | 5 min | After all above complete |
| 5. Manual QA | 10 min | After verification passes |
Total Estimated Time: 30 minutes - 3 hours (mostly DNS propagation wait)
Phase 1 deployment is complete when:
- ✅ Code pushed to GitHub (
8b02c6d3) - ✅ Netlify deploy successful
- ⏳ DNS CNAME for
api.protocol-guide.comconfigured - ⏳ Railway custom domain added with SSL certificate
- ⏳ Verification script passes all checks
- ⏳ Manual QA checklist complete
Current Status: Code deployed, awaiting DNS and Railway configuration.
After Phase 1 complete:
-
Load Testing (Week 1)
- Set up k6 for 100 concurrent users
- File:
tests/load/concurrent-users.k6.js
-
UAT with EMS Professionals (Week 2-3)
- Recruit 3-5 paramedics/EMTs
- File:
docs/UAT_TEST_PLAN.md
-
Mobile Device Testing (Week 1-2)
- Test on 4 real devices (iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone SE, Pixel 8, Galaxy A54)
- File:
docs/MOBILE_DEVICE_TEST_RESULTS.md
-
Monitoring & Iteration (Ongoing)
- Watch Sentry for errors
- Monitor health checks (auto every 30 min)
- Track performance metrics (P95 < 1s for search)
