  • Health check tuning for fast recovery

🚦 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

  1. Bedrock API Errors

    • Verify AWS credentials: aws sts get-caller-identity
    • Check Claude 4 Sonnet access in AWS Bedrock console
    • Ensure correct AWS region (us-east-1, us-west-2, etc.)
    • Verify IAM permissions for Bedrock
  2. Docker Issues

    • Use ./docker-wrapper.sh instead of sudo docker
    • Check Docker daemon: ./docker-wrapper.sh info
    • Test build: ./test-docker.sh
  3. CDK Deployment Issues

    • Check AWS credentials and permissions
    • Verify CDK bootstrap: npx cdk bootstrap
    • Review troubleshooting: cdk/TROUBLESHOOTING.md
  4. MCP Server Not Starting

    • Build first: cd mcp-ui-server && npm run build
    • Check TypeScript compilation errors
    • Verify Node.js version (18+)
  5. Template Not Rendering

    • Check template component exists in components/templates/
    • Verify template type registration in dynamic-template.tsx
    • Look for console errors in browser developer tools

Health Checks

# Check application health
curl http://localhost:3000/api/health

# Check AWS deployment health
curl https://your-cloudfront-domain/api/health

# Monitor ECS service
aws ecs describe-services --cluster generative-ui-chat-dev --services generative-ui-chat-dev

šŸ” Monitoring & Observability

CloudWatch Integration

  • Application Logs: /ecs/generative-ui-chat-{env}
  • ECS Metrics: CPU, Memory, Task count
  • ALB Metrics: Request count, Response time, Error rate
  • CloudFront Metrics: Cache hit ratio, Origin latency

Monitoring Commands

# Monitor application logs
aws logs tail /ecs/generative-ui-chat-dev --follow

# Check ECS service status
aws ecs describe-services --cluster generative-ui-chat-dev --services generative-ui-chat-dev

# View CloudFormation stack
aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name GenerativeUiChat-dev

šŸ› ļø Maintenance & Updates

Application Updates

# Update code and redeploy
git pull origin main
cd cdk && ./deploy.sh  # Rebuilds Docker image and updates ECS

Infrastructure Updates

# Preview changes
cd cdk && npx cdk diff

# Apply infrastructure changes
cd cdk && npx cdk deploy --all

Scaling Adjustments

Edit cdk/lib/generative-ui-chat-stack.ts:

// Adjust auto-scaling parameters
scalableTarget.scaleOnCpuUtilization('CpuScaling', {
  targetUtilizationPercent: 60, // Lower for more responsive scaling
});

šŸ’° Cost Optimization

Monthly Cost Breakdown (Production)

ComponentCostDescription
ECS Fargate~$352 tasks Ɨ 1vCPU Ɨ 2GB RAM
Application Load Balancer~$20Private ALB with health checks
NAT Gateway~$45Single NAT for cost optimization
CloudFront~$5Pay-per-use (low traffic estimate)
CloudWatch Logs~$51-week retention
Amazon BedrockVariablePay-per-token usage
Total Infrastructure~$110/monthBase infrastructure cost

Cost Optimization Tips

  • Use single NAT Gateway (already configured)
  • Implement CloudFront caching
  • Set appropriate log retention periods
  • Monitor and adjust auto-scaling thresholds

šŸ¤ How It Works

The system consists of two main components:

  1. MCP Server (mcp-ui-server/): A TypeScript server implementing Model Context Protocol to generate UI template configurations with realistic data

  2. Next.js Chatbot (/): A React application with Amazon Bedrock integration providing conversational interface for template generation

The chatbot uses Claude 4 Sonnet via Amazon Bedrock to understand user requests and translate them into MCP tool calls, generating rich UI templates rendered as React components.
