gunicorn -w 4 -b 0.0.0.0:5000 app:app
```

### Using Docker
```dockerfile
FROM python:3.11-slim
WORKDIR /app
COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
COPY . .
EXPOSE 5000
CMD ["gunicorn", "-w", "4", "-b", "0.0.0.0:5000", "app:app"]
```

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

3. **AI Analysis Errors**: Check Groq API key and quota

### Logs
Check the console output for detailed error messages and processing results.

## Security Notes
- Use strong SECRET_KEY for production
- Enable HTTPS in production
- Restrict access to authorized users
- Regularly rotate API keys and passwords
