[Plugin Architecture](#plugin-architecture) --- ## Custom Deployment Patterns ### Creating New Patterns The service catalog supports custom deployment patterns. Add patterns to `configs/services-catalog.toml`: ```toml [pattern.custom-staging] name = "Custom Staging" description = "Staging environment with monitoring" [pattern.custom-staging.services] syntaxis-cli = true syntaxis-api = true surrealdb = true nats = true [pattern.custom-staging.metadata] environment = "staging" monitoring = "prometheus" logging = "elk" ``` ### Programmatic Pattern Generation ```rust use provctl_bridge::ServiceCatalog; fn main() { let catalog = ServiceCatalog::from_file("services-catalog.toml")?; // Generate for custom pattern let k8s = catalog.generate_kubernetes("custom-staging")?; let docker = catalog.generate_docker_compose("custom-staging")?; // Save to files std::fs::write("k8s-staging.yaml", k8s)?; std::fs::write("docker-compose-staging.yml", docker)?; Ok(()) } ``` ### Pattern-Specific Overrides ```toml [pattern.high-availability] name = "High Availability" description = "HA configuration with replication" [pattern.high-availability.services] syntaxis-api = { enabled = true, replicas = 3, affinity = "spread" } surrealdb = { enabled = true, replicas = 2, backup = true } nats = { enabled = true, replicas = 2, clustering = true } [pattern.high-availability.features] tls = true autoscaling = true backup_retention_days = 30 ``` --- ## Extending the Service Catalog ### Adding New Services ```toml [service.prometheus] name = "prometheus" display_name = "Prometheus Monitoring" description = "Metrics collection and alerting" type = "monitoring" external_service = true [service.prometheus.binary] name = "prometheus" installed_to = "~/.local/bin/prometheus" [service.prometheus.server] default_host = "127.0.0.1" default_port = 9090 scheme = "http" port_configurable = true [service.prometheus.usage] description = "Prometheus time-series database" basic_command = "prometheus --config.file=prometheus.yml" health_check_endpoint = "/-/healthy" health_check_method = "GET" health_check_expected_status = 200 examples = [ "prometheus --config.file=prometheus.yml", "curl http://127.0.0.1:9090/-/healthy", "curl http://127.0.0.1:9090/api/v1/query?query=up" ] [service.prometheus.metadata] platform_support = ["linux", "macos"] min_memory_mb = 512 min_disk_space_mb = 500 internet_required = false user_interaction = "optional" background_service = true [service.prometheus.dependencies] requires = [] optional = ["surrealdb"] conflicts = [] [service.prometheus.configuration] config_location = "~/.config/prometheus" tls_support = true authentication = "optional" clustering = false ``` ### Extending Rust Types Modify `provctl-bridge/src/catalog.rs` to add new fields: ```rust /// Extended service definition with monitoring #[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)] pub struct ServiceDefinition { // ... existing fields ... /// Monitoring configuration #[serde(default)] pub monitoring: Option, /// Backup configuration #[serde(default)] pub backup: Option, /// Custom labels and annotations #[serde(default)] pub labels: Option>, } /// Monitoring configuration #[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)] pub struct MonitoringConfig { pub metrics_port: u16, pub metrics_path: String, pub scrape_interval: String, } /// Backup configuration #[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)] pub struct BackupConfig { pub enabled: bool, pub frequency: String, pub retention_days: u32, pub destination: String, } ``` --- ## Terraform Code Generation ### Add Terraform Generation Method ```rust impl ServiceCatalog { /// Generate Terraform code from deployment pattern pub fn generate_terraform(&self, pattern_name: &str) -> Result> { let pattern = self .pattern .as_ref() .and_then(|p| p.get(pattern_name)) .ok_or(format!("Pattern '{}' not found", pattern_name))?; let services = pattern .get("services") .and_then(|v| v.as_array()) .ok_or("Pattern missing services list")?; let mut output = String::from( r#"# Generated Terraform configuration from syntaxis catalog terraform { required_version = ">= 1.0" required_providers { kubernetes = { source = "hashicorp/kubernetes" version = "~> 2.0" } } } provider "kubernetes" { config_path = "~/.kube/config" } # Syntaxis namespace resource "kubernetes_namespace" "syntaxis" { metadata { name = "syntaxis" } } "# ); // Generate resources for each service for service_name in services { let name_str = service_name.as_str().ok_or("Service name must be string")?; if let Some(svc) = self.get_service(name_str) { output.push_str(&self.generate_terraform_deployment(name_str, svc)?); if svc.server.is_some() || svc.web.is_some() { output.push_str(&self.generate_terraform_service(name_str, svc)?); } } } Ok(output) } fn generate_terraform_deployment( &self, name: &str, service: &ServiceDefinition, ) -> Result> { let memory = service .metadata .as_ref() .map(|m| m.min_memory_mb) .unwrap_or(256); Ok(format!( r#"resource "kubernetes_deployment" "{name}" {{ metadata {{ name = "{name}" namespace = kubernetes_namespace.syntaxis.metadata[0].name labels = {{ app = "{name}" }} }} spec {{ replicas = 1 selector {{ match_labels = {{ app = "{name}" }} }} template {{ metadata {{ labels = {{ app = "{name}" }} }} spec {{ container {{ name = "{name}" image = "{name}:latest" resources {{ requests = {{ cpu = "100m" memory = "{memory}Mi" }} limits = {{ cpu = "500m" memory = "{memory_limit}Mi" }} }} }} }} }} }} }} "#, name = name, memory = memory, memory_limit = memory * 2 )) } fn generate_terraform_service( &self, name: &str, service: &ServiceDefinition, ) -> Result> { let port = if let Some(server) = &service.server { server.default_port } else if let Some(web) = &service.web { web.default_port } else { return Ok(String::new()); }; Ok(format!( r#"resource "kubernetes_service" "{name}" {{ metadata {{ name = "{name}" namespace = kubernetes_namespace.syntaxis.metadata[0].name }} spec {{ selector = {{ app = "{name}" }} port {{ port = {port} target_port = {port} }} type = "ClusterIP" }} }} "#, name = name, port = port )) } } ``` ### Usage Example ```bash # Generate Terraform for production pattern cat > generate_terraform.rs << 'EOF' use provctl_bridge::ServiceCatalog; use std::fs; fn main() { let catalog = ServiceCatalog::from_file( "configs/services-catalog.toml" ).expect("Failed to load catalog"); let terraform = catalog.generate_terraform("production") .expect("Failed to generate Terraform"); fs::write("main.tf", terraform) .expect("Failed to write Terraform code"); println!("Generated main.tf"); println!("Run: terraform init && terraform apply"); } EOF rustc generate_terraform.rs && ./generate_terraform terraform init terraform apply ``` --- ## Service Mesh Integration ### Istio Integration Example Add to TOML: ```toml [service.syntaxis-api.mesh] enabled = true mtls_mode = "STRICT" circuit_breaker = true connection_pool = "unlimited" timeout = "30s" retries = 3 ``` ### Generate Istio Configuration ```rust pub fn generate_istio_config(&self, namespace: &str) -> Result> { let mut output = String::from( r#"apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1beta1 kind: Namespace metadata: name: {namespace} spec: mtls_mode: STRICT --- "# ); for service_name in self.service_names() { if let Some(service) = self.get_service(&service_name) { if let Some(server) = &service.server { output.push_str(&format!( r#"apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1beta1 kind: VirtualService metadata: name: {} namespace: {} spec: hosts: - {} http: - match: - uri: prefix: / route: - destination: host: {}.{}.svc.cluster.local port: number: {} timeout: 30s retries: attempts: 3 perTryTimeout: 10s --- "#, service_name, namespace, service_name, service_name, namespace, server.default_port )); } } } Ok(output) } ``` --- ## Advanced Scaling ### Horizontal Pod Autoscaling ```toml [pattern.production-autoscaling] name = "Production with Autoscaling" [pattern.production-autoscaling.services] syntaxis-api = { enabled = true, replicas = 2, max_replicas = 10, cpu_threshold = 70 } surrealdb = { enabled = true, replicas = 1, max_replicas = 3 } nats = { enabled = true, replicas = 2, max_replicas = 5 } ``` ### Generate HPA Configuration ```rust pub fn generate_hpa_config(&self, pattern_name: &str) -> Result> { let pattern = self.pattern .as_ref() .and_then(|p| p.get(pattern_name)) .ok_or("Pattern not found")?; let mut output = String::new(); for (service_name, config) in self.service.iter() { if let Some(hpa_config) = pattern.get("services") .and_then(|s| s.get(service_name)) .and_then(|s| s.get("max_replicas")) { if let Some(max_replicas) = hpa_config.as_u64() { output.push_str(&format!( r#"apiVersion: autoscaling/v2 kind: HorizontalPodAutoscaler metadata: name: {} spec: scaleTargetRef: apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment name: {} minReplicas: 1 maxReplicas: {} metrics: - type: Resource resource: name: cpu target: type: Utilization averageUtilization: 70 --- "#, service_name, service_name, max_replicas )); } } } Ok(output) } ``` --- ## Security & RBAC ### RBAC Configuration ```toml [pattern.production-secure] name = "Production Secure" [pattern.production-secure.security] network_policy = true pod_security_policy = true rbac_enabled = true secret_management = "sealed-secrets" ``` ### Generate RBAC Resources ```rust pub fn generate_rbac_config(&self, namespace: &str) -> Result> { let rbac = format!( r#"apiVersion: v1 kind: ServiceAccount metadata: name: syntaxis namespace: {} --- apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1 kind: Role metadata: name: syntaxis-role namespace: {} rules: - apiGroups: [""] resources: ["pods", "pods/logs"] verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"] - apiGroups: [""] resources: ["services"] verbs: ["get", "list"] --- apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1 kind: RoleBinding metadata: name: syntaxis-rolebinding namespace: {} roleRef: apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io kind: Role name: syntaxis-role subjects: - kind: ServiceAccount name: syntaxis namespace: {} "#, namespace, namespace, namespace, namespace ); Ok(rbac) } ``` --- ## Monitoring & Metrics ### Prometheus Integration ```toml [service.syntaxis-api.metrics] enabled = true port = 9090 path = "/metrics" scrape_interval = "15s" [[service.syntaxis-api.alerts]] name = "HighErrorRate" condition = "rate(errors_total[5m]) > 0.05" duration = "5m" severity = "critical" [[service.syntaxis-api.alerts]] name = "HighLatency" condition = "histogram_quantile(0.95, latency_ms) > 1000" duration = "5m" severity = "warning" ``` ### Generate Prometheus Config ```rust pub fn generate_prometheus_scrape_config(&self) -> Result> { let mut output = String::from( r#"global: scrape_interval: 15s evaluation_interval: 15s scrape_configs: "# ); for service_name in self.service_names() { if let Some(service) = self.get_service(&service_name) { if let Some(server) = &service.server { output.push_str(&format!( r#" - job_name: '{}' static_configs: - targets: ['{}:{}'] "#, service_name, service_name, server.default_port )); } } } Ok(output) } ``` --- ## Multi-Region Deployment ### Regional Pattern Configuration ```toml [pattern.multi-region] name = "Multi-Region" description = "Deployed across multiple regions" [pattern.multi-region.regions.us-east] provider = "aws" region = "us-east-1" services = ["syntaxis-api", "surrealdb"] replica_count = 2 [pattern.multi-region.regions.eu-west] provider = "aws" region = "eu-west-1" services = ["syntaxis-api", "surrealdb"] replica_count = 2 [pattern.multi-region.regions.ap-south] provider = "aws" region = "ap-south-1" services = ["syntaxis-api", "surrealdb"] replica_count = 1 ``` ### Generate Multi-Region Terraform ```rust pub fn generate_multi_region_terraform( &self, pattern_name: &str, ) -> Result, Box> { let pattern = self.pattern .as_ref() .and_then(|p| p.get(pattern_name)) .ok_or("Pattern not found")?; let regions = pattern.get("regions") .and_then(|r| r.as_table()) .ok_or("No regions defined")?; let mut configs = HashMap::new(); for (region_name, region_config) in regions { let provider = region_config.get("provider") .and_then(|p| p.as_str()) .unwrap_or("aws"); let tf = format!( r#"terraform {{ required_providers {{ {} = {{ source = "hashicorp/{}" }} }} }} provider "{}" {{ region = "{}" }} module "syntaxis" {{ source = "./modules/syntaxis" region = "{}" }} "#, provider, provider, provider, region_name, region_name ); configs.insert(region_name.to_string(), tf); } Ok(configs) } ``` --- ## Custom Health Checks ### Advanced Health Check Configuration ```toml [service.syntaxis-api.health_checks] [[service.syntaxis-api.health_checks.http]] name = "api_health" endpoint = "/health" method = "GET" expected_status = 200 timeout = "5s" interval = "10s" [[service.syntaxis-api.health_checks.http]] name = "api_ready" endpoint = "/ready" method = "GET" expected_status = 200 timeout = "5s" [[service.syntaxis-api.health_checks.tcp]] name = "api_port" host = "127.0.0.1" port = 3000 timeout = "5s" [[service.syntaxis-api.health_checks.grpc]] name = "api_grpc" endpoint = "127.0.0.1:3000" service = "syntaxis.Health" timeout = "5s" [[service.syntaxis-api.health_checks.exec]] name = "api_exec" command = ["syntaxis-api", "--health-check"] timeout = "5s" expected_exit_code = 0 ``` ### Generate Custom Health Check Configs ```rust pub fn generate_health_check_config(&self, service_name: &str) -> Result> { let service = self.get_service(service_name) .ok_or("Service not found")?; // Generate health check scripts, configs, etc. // This can output Kubernetes probes, Docker health checks, etc. Ok(format!( r#"livenessProbe: httpGet: path: /health port: {} initialDelaySeconds: 10 periodSeconds: 10 timeoutSeconds: 5 readinessProbe: httpGet: path: /ready port: {} initialDelaySeconds: 5 periodSeconds: 5 timeoutSeconds: 5 "#, service.server.as_ref().map(|s| s.default_port).unwrap_or(0), service.server.as_ref().map(|s| s.default_port).unwrap_or(0) )) } ``` --- ## Plugin Architecture ### Plugin System Design ```rust /// Plugin trait for extending catalog functionality pub trait CatalogPlugin { /// Plugin name fn name(&self) -> &str; /// Plugin version fn version(&self) -> &str; /// Process catalog before generation fn process_catalog(&self, catalog: &mut ServiceCatalog) -> Result<(), Box>; /// Generate additional code fn generate_code(&self, catalog: &ServiceCatalog) -> Result, Box>; /// Validate catalog against plugin rules fn validate(&self, catalog: &ServiceCatalog) -> Result<(), Vec>; } /// Plugin registry pub struct PluginRegistry { plugins: Vec>, } impl PluginRegistry { pub fn new() -> Self { Self { plugins: Vec::new(), } } pub fn register(&mut self, plugin: Box) { self.plugins.push(plugin); } pub fn process_catalog(&self, catalog: &mut ServiceCatalog) -> Result<(), Box> { for plugin in &self.plugins { plugin.process_catalog(catalog)?; } Ok(()) } pub fn validate(&self, catalog: &ServiceCatalog) -> Result<(), Vec> { let mut errors = Vec::new(); for plugin in &self.plugins { if let Err(plugin_errors) = plugin.validate(catalog) { errors.extend(plugin_errors); } } if errors.is_empty() { Ok(()) } else { Err(errors) } } } ``` ### Example Plugin: Security Validator ```rust pub struct SecurityPlugin; impl CatalogPlugin for SecurityPlugin { fn name(&self) -> &str { "security" } fn version(&self) -> &str { "1.0.0" } fn process_catalog(&self, _catalog: &mut ServiceCatalog) -> Result<(), Box> { Ok(()) } fn generate_code(&self, catalog: &ServiceCatalog) -> Result, Box> { let mut code = HashMap::new(); // Generate RBAC configuration let rbac = self.generate_rbac_for_services(catalog)?; code.insert("rbac.yaml".to_string(), rbac); // Generate network policies let netpol = self.generate_network_policies(catalog)?; code.insert("network-policies.yaml".to_string(), netpol); Ok(code) } fn validate(&self, catalog: &ServiceCatalog) -> Result<(), Vec> { let mut errors = Vec::new(); for service in catalog.service.values() { // Check that all services have metadata if service.metadata.is_none() { errors.push(format!("Service {} missing metadata", service.name)); } } if errors.is_empty() { Ok(()) } else { Err(errors) } } } ``` --- ## Best Practices ### Catalog Maintenance 1. **Version Control**: Keep catalog in git 2. **Schema Validation**: Validate against schema before deploying 3. **Testing**: Test all pattern changes 4. **Documentation**: Document custom patterns and extensions 5. **Review Process**: Require review for catalog changes ### Performance Optimization 1. **Lazy Loading**: Load only needed services 2. **Caching**: Cache parsed catalogs 3. **Parallel Generation**: Generate multiple patterns in parallel 4. **Incremental Updates**: Support partial catalog updates ### Security Best Practices 1. **Secrets Management**: Use external secret management 2. **RBAC**: Implement least privilege principle 3. **Network Policies**: Restrict service communication 4. **Pod Security**: Use pod security standards 5. **Image Security**: Scan and sign container images --- ## Conclusion The syntaxis catalog system is designed to be extensible and flexible. Use these advanced features to customize deployments for your specific needs while maintaining consistency and manageability.
