<infrastructure_patterns>
<containerization_strategy>
<docker_best_practices>
**Multi-stage Builds for Optimization**:
```dockerfile
# Build stage
FROM node:18-alpine AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci --only=production

# Production stage
FROM node:18-alpine AS production
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=builder /app/node_modules ./node_modules
COPY . .
EXPOSE 3000
USER node
CMD ["npm", "start"]
```

**Security Hardening**:
```xml
<security_practices>
- Use minimal base images (alpine, distroless)
- Run containers as non-root user
- Scan images for vulnerabilities in CI pipeline
- Use multi-stage builds to reduce attack surface
- Implement resource limits and security contexts
</security_practices>
```

**Container Orchestration with Kubernetes**:
```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: web-app
  labels:
    app: web-app
spec:
  replicas: 3
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: web-app
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: web-app
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: web-app
        image: web-app:v1.2.3
        ports:
        - containerPort: 3000
        resources:
          requests:
            memory: "128Mi"
            cpu: "100m"
          limits:
            memory: "256Mi"
            cpu: "200m"
        livenessProbe:
          httpGet:
            path: /health
            port: 3000
          initialDelaySeconds: 30
          periodSeconds: 10
        readinessProbe:
          httpGet:
            path: /ready
            port: 3000
          initialDelaySeconds: 5
          periodSeconds: 5
```
</docker_best_practices>

<infrastructure_as_code>
**Terraform for Cloud Infrastructure**:
```hcl
# main.tf
terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "~> 5.0"
    }
  }
  backend "s3" {
    bucket = "terraform-state-bucket"
    key    = "production/terraform.tfstate"
    region = "us-west-2"
  }
}

resource "aws_eks_cluster" "main" {
  name     = var.cluster_name
  role_arn = aws_iam_role.cluster.arn
  version  = var.kubernetes_version

  vpc_config {
    subnet_ids              = var.subnet_ids
    endpoint_private_access = true
    endpoint_public_access  = true
  }

  enabled_cluster_log_types = ["api", "audit", "authenticator", "controllerManager", "scheduler"]

  depends_on = [
    aws_iam_role_policy_attachment.cluster_AmazonEKSClusterPolicy,
  ]

  tags = var.tags
}

# variables.tf
variable "cluster_name" {
  description = "Name of the EKS cluster"
  type        = string
}

variable "kubernetes_version" {
  description = "Kubernetes version"
  type        = string

}

# outputs.tf
output "cluster_endpoint" {

  processors:
  - add_kubernetes_metadata:

**Application Logging Best Practices**:
```javascript
// Structured logging example
const winston = require('winston');

const logger = winston.createLogger({
  level: 'info',
  format: winston.format.combine(
    winston.format.timestamp(),
    winston.format.errors({ stack: true }),
    winston.format.json()
  ),
  defaultMeta: { 
    service: 'web-app',
    version: process.env.APP_VERSION 
  },
  transports: [
    new winston.transports.Console()
  ]
});

// Usage
logger.info('User login successful', {
  userId: user.id,
  email: user.email,
  sessionId: req.sessionID,
  userAgent: req.get('User-Agent'),
  ip: req.ip

**Backup and Recovery Strategy**:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# backup-strategy.sh

# Database backup with point-in-time recovery
pg_dump -h $DB_HOST -U $DB_USER -d $DB_NAME | gzip > backup_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).sql.gz

# Upload to S3 with lifecycle policy
aws s3 cp backup_*.sql.gz s3://backup-bucket/database/ --storage-class STANDARD_IA

# Kubernetes cluster state backup
kubectl get all --all-namespaces -o yaml > cluster-state-$(date +%Y%m%d).yaml
aws s3 cp cluster-state-*.yaml s3://backup-bucket/kubernetes/

# Application data backup with retention
restic backup /app/data --repo s3:backup-bucket/app-data
restic forget --keep-daily 7 --keep-weekly 4 --keep-monthly 12
```

**Multi-Region Disaster Recovery**:
```terraform
# disaster-recovery.tf
module "primary_region" {
  source = "./modules/infrastructure"
  region = "us-west-2"
  environment = "production"
  
  providers = {
    aws = aws.us-west-2
  }
}

module "dr_region" {
  source = "./modules/infrastructure"
  region = "us-east-1"
  environment = "disaster-recovery"
  
  # Reduced capacity for cost optimization
  min_size = 1
  max_size = 5
  desired_capacity = 2
  
  providers = {
    aws = aws.us-east-1
  }
}

# Cross-region replication for critical data
resource "aws_s3_bucket_replication_configuration" "replication" {
  role   = aws_iam_role.replication.arn
  bucket = module.primary_region.backup_bucket_id

  rule {
    id     = "replicate-backups"
    status = "Enabled"

    destination {
      bucket        = module.dr_region.backup_bucket_arn
      storage_class = "STANDARD_IA"
    }
  }
}
```

**Deployment Frequency Measurement**:
```sql
-- Deployment frequency query
SELECT 
  DATE_TRUNC('week', deployed_at) as week,
  COUNT(*) as deployments,
  COUNT(*) / 7.0 as daily_average
FROM deployments 
WHERE deployed_at >= NOW() - INTERVAL '12 weeks'
GROUP BY week
ORDER BY week;
```

**Lead Time for Changes**:
```sql
-- Lead time calculation
SELECT 
  AVG(EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM (deployed_at - committed_at))/3600) as avg_lead_time_hours,
  PERCENTILE_CONT(0.5) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM (deployed_at - committed_at))/3600) as median_lead_time_hours
FROM deployments d
JOIN commits c ON d.commit_sha = c.sha
WHERE deployed_at >= NOW() - INTERVAL '4 weeks';
```

**Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR)**:
```sql
-- MTTR calculation
SELECT 
  AVG(EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM (resolved_at - detected_at))/60) as avg_mttr_minutes,
  PERCENTILE_CONT(0.5) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM (resolved_at - detected_at))/60) as median_mttr_minutes
FROM incidents 
WHERE severity = 'critical' 
AND resolved_at >= NOW() - INTERVAL '12 weeks';
```

**Change Failure Rate**:
```sql
-- Change failure rate
SELECT 
  COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE caused_incident = true) * 100.0 / COUNT(*) as failure_rate_percentage
FROM deployments 
WHERE deployed_at >= NOW() - INTERVAL '4 weeks';
```
