📋 Quick Start

Option 1: Automated Setup

# Make script executable
chmod +x quick_start.sh

# Run setup
./quick_start.sh

Option 2: Manual Setup

# 1. Create virtual environment
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

# 2. Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# 3. Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
nano .env  # Edit with your settings

# 4. Run application
python api/main.py

🔑 Configuration

Critical Settings (.env)

# LLM - Groq API
GROQ_API_KEY=your_key_here
LLM_MODEL=llama-3.1-8b-instant

# Rate Limiting (IMPORTANT!)
REQUESTS_PER_MINUTE=20  # Adjust based on your plan
BURST_LIMIT=3

# Neo4j Database
NEO4J_URI=neo4j://localhost:7687
NEO4J_USERNAME=neo4j
NEO4J_PASSWORD=your_password

# LangSmith (Optional - Highly Recommended)
LANGSMITH_API_KEY=your_langsmith_key
LANGSMITH_PROJECT=requirements-management
LANGSMITH_ENABLED=true

# Performance
CACHE_ENABLED=true
CACHE_TTL=3600
ENABLE_PARALLEL=true

Rate Limiting Configuration

Why it's important: Prevents 429 "Too Many Requests" errors from Groq API.

How it works:

Token bucket algorithm
Allows bursts of requests
Smooths out request rate over time

Recommended settings by plan:

Plan	REQUESTS_PER_MINUTE	BURST_LIMIT
Free	10-15	2
Basic	20-30	3
Pro	40-60	5

Key Components

1. Rate Limiter

from utils.rate_limiter import rate_limited

@rate_limited
async def call_llm():
    # Automatically rate limited
    pass

2. Caching

from utils.rate_limiter import cached

@cached(ttl=1800)  # Cache for 30 minutes
def expensive_operation(input):
    # Result cached automatically
    pass

3. Observability

from langsmith.run_helpers import traceable

@traceable(name="my_function")
async def my_function():
    # Traced in LangSmith dashboard
    pass

4. Structured Logging

from config.logging_config import LoggerMixin

class MyClass(LoggerMixin):
    def process(self):
        self.logger.info("Processing", extra={
            "duration_ms": 123,
            "items": 5
        })

🐛 Troubleshooting

429 Too Many Requests

Symptoms:

INFO:groq._base_client:Retrying request in 15.000000 seconds

Solutions:

Reduce request rate:

REQUESTS_PER_MINUTE=15  # Lower value
BURST_LIMIT=2

Increase caching:

CACHE_ENABLED=true
CACHE_TTL=7200  # 2 hours

Check your Groq plan limits

Slow Responses

Solutions:

Enable caching:

CACHE_ENABLED=true

Optimize prompts (reduce token count)
Enable parallel processing:

ENABLE_PARALLEL=true
MAX_WORKERS=3

Reduce max tokens:

MAX_TOKENS=1500

Memory Issues

Clear cache:

from utils.rate_limiter import cache_manager
cache_manager.clear()

Reduce cache size:

CACHE_TTL=1800  # 30 minutes instead of 1 hour

Neo4j Connection Failed

Check Neo4j is running:

# Test connection
nc -zv localhost 7687

# Or curl
curl http://localhost:7474

Verify credentials:

# In Python
from database.neo4j_langchain_client import neo4j_langchain_client
neo4j_langchain_client.driver.verify_connectivity()

🔒 Security Best Practices

Never commit .env file

# Add to .gitignore
echo ".env" >> .gitignore

Use environment variables

# Good
api_key = os.getenv("GROQ_API_KEY")

# Bad
api_key = "hardcoded_key"

Validate all inputs

from utils.validators import sanitize_input

description = sanitize_input(user_input, max_length=5000)

Rate limit API endpoints

from fastapi_limiter import FastAPILimiter

@app.get("/api/endpoint")
@limiter.limit("10/minute")
async def endpoint():
    pass
