Project Enhancement Plan

Completed Items ✅

1. Core-Gateway Integration

• Test complete API key flow:
  • Generate API key via Gateway
  • Verify key storage in S3
  • Test Core's ability to use the key
  • Verify rate limiting through Core
  • Test key expiration through Core
  • Test API key purge functionality

2. Integration Testing

• Test end-to-end flow:
  • Core startup and ngrok URL registration
  • Gateway's dynamic URL updates
  • File structure retrieval through Core
  • File content access through Core
  • Full production test with cleanup

3. Essential Documentation

• Update main README with:
  • Correct architecture overview (Core + Gateway)
  • Accurate setup instructions
  • API key acquisition process
  • API key management instructions

4. Security Enhancements

• Implement API key purge endpoint
• Add audit logging for key operations
• Implement secure key storage in S3

Current Priority (Next Sprint)

1. Security Enhancements

• Review and tighten KMS key policy
• Consider using AWS Secrets Manager for API key storage
• Implement key rotation mechanism

2. Infrastructure Improvements

• Add automated version management
• Add environment configurations (dev/staging/prod)
• Implement backup strategy for S3 objects
• Add monitoring and alerting for security events

3. Development Experience

• Add pre-commit hooks for code formatting
• Enhance Makefile with additional targets:
  • make init: Setup development environment
  • make deploy: Deploy to EC2
  • make api-keys: Manage API keys
• Add colored output for better visibility

Known Issues 🐛

• Fixed: URL decoding issue resolved in Gateway API

Future Improvements (Post-Sprint)

Phase 1: Core Enhancements

• Add caching for frequently accessed files
• Improve error handling and retry logic
• Enhance request logging

Phase 2: Gateway Enhancements

• Implement soft delete for API keys
• Add disaster recovery procedures
• Create runbooks for common operations

Phase 3: Advanced Features

• Develop management interface
• Add automated security scanning
• Implement advanced monitoring
• Add architecture diagrams

Success Metrics for Next Sprint

   • KMS key policy follows best practices
   • Secure key storage solution implemented

2. Infrastructure

   • Automated version management in place
   • Multiple environment configurations available
   • Backup strategy implemented and tested

3. Development

   • Enhanced Makefile with all planned targets
   • Pre-commit hooks working effectively
   • Improved development workflow
