Fathom Deploy Integration

Overview

Deploy a containerized Fathom AI meeting integration service with Docker. This skill covers building a production image that connects to the Fathom API for processing meeting transcripts, summaries, and action items. Includes environment configuration for webhook handling, health checks that verify Fathom API connectivity and transcript retrieval, and rolling update strategies to maintain continuous meeting data processing without losing webhook events.

Docker Configuration

FROM node:20-slim AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci
COPY tsconfig.json ./
COPY src/ ./src/
RUN npm run build

FROM node:20-slim
RUN addgroup --system app && adduser --system --ingroup app app
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=builder /app/dist ./dist
COPY --from=builder /app/node_modules ./node_modules
COPY package*.json ./
USER app
EXPOSE 3000
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=5s --retries=3 \
  CMD curl -f http://localhost:3000/health || exit 1
CMD ["node", "dist/index.js"]

Environment Variables

export FATHOM_API_KEY="fthm_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
export FATHOM_BASE_URL="https://api.fathom.video/v1"
export FATHOM_WEBHOOK_SECRET="whsec_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
export LOG_LEVEL="info"
export PORT="3000"
export NODE_ENV="production"

Health Check Endpoint

import express from 'express';

const app = express();

app.get('/health', async (req, res) => {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(`${process.env.FATHOM_BASE_URL}/meetings`, {
      headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.FATHOM_API_KEY}` },
    });
    if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Fathom API returned ${response.status}`);
    res.json({ status: 'healthy', service: 'fathom-integration', timestamp: new Date().toISOString() });
  } catch (error) {
    res.status(503).json({ status: 'unhealthy', error: (error as Error).message });
  }
});

Deployment Steps

Step 1: Build

docker build -t fathom-integration:latest .

Step 2: Run

docker run -d --name fathom-integration \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e FATHOM_API_KEY -e FATHOM_BASE_URL -e FATHOM_WEBHOOK_SECRET \
  fathom-integration:latest

Step 3: Verify

curl -s http://localhost:3000/health | jq .

Step 4: Rolling Update

docker build -t fathom-integration:v2 . && \
docker stop fathom-integration && \
docker rm fathom-integration && \
docker run -d --name fathom-integration -p 3000:3000 \
  -e FATHOM_API_KEY -e FATHOM_BASE_URL -e FATHOM_WEBHOOK_SECRET \
  fathom-integration:v2
