Verify the environment

Objective

This step verifies that the main components are working before document upload begins. The purpose is to make sure any later failure can be traced to workflow logic rather than a missing infrastructure prerequisite.

Verification Steps

Before uploading documents, please verify the following infrastructure conditions:

Step 1: Ensure the Frontend is reachable in the browser and verify the CloudFront distribution configuration.

Step 2: Verify that the S3 buckets are visible in the AWS Console, and ensure they are ready for storage and access.

Step 3: Check that the EC2 instance is running the backend service properly and the API backend responds correctly.

Step 4: Ensure the RDS PostgreSQL database is available and ready to store document metadata.
