TODO List

dgate-cli

  • add dgate-cli
    • resource management (CRUD for namespace, domain, service, ...)
    • server management (start-proxy, stop-proxy, restart, status, logs, stats, etc.)
    • cluster management (raft commands, replica commands, etc.) (low priority)
    • other commands (backup, restore, etc.) (low priority)

Raft Snapshots

  • Add support for Raft snapshots to reduce the size of the Raft log. This can be used to reduce the size of the Raft log and improve the performance of the cluster.
    • - Snapshot documents
    • - Snapshot resources (with correlactions)

Add Module Tests

  • Test multiple modules being used at the same time
    • - automatically detect export conflicts
    • - Add option to specify export variables when ambiguous (?)
    • - check how global variable conflicts are handled

dgate-cli declaritive config

define resources in a declaritive way using pkl.

Background Jobs

background jobs can be used to execute code periodically or on specific events. custom events can be triggered from inside modules.

For examples, upstream health checks to make sure that the upstream server is still available. Also to execute code on specific events, like when a new route is added, or when an http requ.

  • event listeners: intercept events and return modified/new data
    • fetch (http requests made by the proxy)
    • request (http requests made to the proxy)
    • resource CRUD operations (namespace/domain/service/module/route/collection/document)
  • execute cron jobs: @every 1m, @cron 0 0 * * *, @daily, @weekly, @monthly, @yearly

At a higher level, background jobs can be used to enable features like health checks, which can periodically check the health of the upstream servers and disable/enable them if they are not healthy.

Other features include: automatic service discovery, ping-based load balancing,

Metrics

-- add support for prometheus, datadog, sentry, etc.

expose metrics for the following:

  • proxy server

    • request count
    • request latency
    • request module latency
    • request upstream latency
    • request error count

  • admin server

    • request error latency
    • request count
    • request latency
    • request error count

  • modules

    • request count
    • request latency
    • request error count
    • request error latency

  • Add Module Permissions Functionality

  • Add Change Versioning

  • Add Change Rollback

  • Add Server Tags

  • Add Transactions

    • - Add transactional support for admin API

DGate Admin Console (low priority)

Admin Console is a web-based interface that can be used to manage the state of the cluster. Manage resource, view logs, stats, and more. It can also be used to develop and test modules directly in the browser.

DGate Runtime (low priority)

DGate Runtime is a JavaScript/TypeScript runtime that can be used to test modules. It can be used to test modules before deploying them to the cluster.

Implement an optimal RuntimePool (low priority)

RuntimePool is a pool of runtimes that can be used to execute modules. It can be used to manage the different modules and clean up resources when they are no longer needed or idle for a certain amount of time.

Server Tags

No special characters are allowed in the tag name or value

  • key:value
  • value

canary tags [email protected]%:canary_mod

time based tags @(2022-01-01T00:00:00Z)#key:value

Resource Tags

  • name:data
    • no prefix, so this tag is ignored
  • #name:data
    • means that the server must have these tags, for the object to be applied
  • !name:data
    • means that the server must not have these tags, for the object to be applied
  • ?name:data1,data2
    • means that the server must have any of these tags, for the object to be applied
  • ?*name:data1,data2
    • means that the server must have one (and only one) of these tags, for the object to be applied

Module Permissions (using tags?)

  • Allow users to define permissions for modules to access certain dgate resources/apis and/or OS resources.
    • resource:document:read
    • resource:document:write
    • os:net:(http/tcp/udp)
    • os:file:read
    • os:env:read

Bundles

  • Add support for bundles that can be used to extend the functionality of DGate. Bundles are a grouping of resources that can be used to extend the functionality of DGate. Bundles can be used to add new modules, resources, and more. A good example of a bundle would be a bundle that adds support for OAuth2 authentication. It would need to setup the necessary routes, modules, and configurations to enable OAuth2 authentication.

Module/Plugin Variables

  • Allow users to define variables that can be used in modules/plugins. These variables can be set by the user, eventually the Admin Console should allow these variables to be set, and the variables can be used in the modules/plugins.

Mutual TLS Support (low priority)

Versioning Modules

Differing from common resource versioning, modules can have multiple versions that can be used at the same time. This can be used to test new versions of modules before deploying them to the cluster.

DGate CLI - help command show required variables

When the user runs the help command, the CLI should show the required variables for the command. For example, if the user runs dgate-cli ns mk --help, the CLI should show the required variables for the ns mk command. name is a required variable for the ns mk command. Also, the CLI should show non-required variables.

Improve Module Debugability

Make it easier to debug modules by adding more logging and error handling. This can be done by adding more logging to the modules and making it easier to see the logs in the Admin Console.

Add stack tracing for typescript modules.

Add Telemetry (sentry, datadog, etc.)

ResourceManager callback for resource changes

Add a callback to the ResourceManager that is called when a resource is changed. This can be used to invalidate caches, update modules, and more.
