Pull Request: Implement observability and resilience features

Summary

This PR implements comprehensive observability and resilience features for the Vesting Vault backend, addressing four key issues:

✅ Issue #249: Distributed Tracing (OpenTelemetry)

• Added OpenTelemetry tracing for API requests, Redis operations, and PostgreSQL queries
• Provides waterfall view of latency bottlenecks across the system
• Configurable sampling (100% in dev, 10% in production)
• Support for Jaeger and OTLP exporters

✅ Issue #251: Cache Invalidation Strategy for Cap Table Updates

• Implemented event-driven cache invalidation system
• Automatic invalidation on vault creation, beneficiary updates, and grant issuance
• Pattern-based cache deletion for efficient cleanup
• Real-time cache invalidation events

✅ Issue #254: Circuit Breakers for External API Dependencies

• Circuit breaker pattern for SumSub KYC, DEX Oracle, and Stellar RPC APIs
• Graceful degradation with fallback data when external services fail
• Configurable failure thresholds (5 failures trigger circuit opening)
• Real-time circuit state monitoring and management

✅ Issue #255: E2E Tests for Auth Flow

• Comprehensive Playwright E2E tests for complete auth lifecycle
• Jest integration tests for SEP-10 challenge and JWT flow
• Security testing (invalid signatures, replay attacks, rate limiting)
• Multi-browser testing coverage

Configuration

Environment Variables

# OpenTelemetry
OTEL_SERVICE_NAME=vesting-vault-backend
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:4317

# Circuit Breaker (optional defaults provided)
CIRCUIT_BREAKER_FAILURE_THRESHOLD=5
CIRCUIT_BREAKER_RESET_TIMEOUT=60000

Test Scripts

npm run test:integration  # Jest integration tests
npm run test:e2e          # Playwright E2E tests
npm run test:all          # Run all tests

Integration Points

• Cache invalidation automatically integrated into vestingService.js
• Tracing initialized at application startup in index.js
• Circuit breakers available for use in existing external API calls
• Tests can be run independently or as part of CI/CD pipeline

Benefits

1. Observability: Full tracing visibility across API, database, and cache layers
2. Resilience: Graceful handling of external service failures
3. Data Freshness: Immediate cache updates on state changes
4. Quality Assurance: Comprehensive test coverage for critical auth flows
5. Production Ready: Proper error handling, monitoring, and fallbacks

Breaking Changes

None. All implementations are additive and maintain backward compatibility.

Testing

• All new features include comprehensive test coverage
• Integration tests validate end-to-end functionality
• E2E tests verify complete user workflows
• Circuit breaker and cache invalidation are thoroughly tested

How to Test

1. Start the application: npm start
2. Run integration tests: npm run test:integration
3. Run E2E tests: npm run test:e2e
4. Verify tracing: Check OpenTelemetry collector for traces
5. Test circuit breakers: Force external service failures to verify fallback behavior

This implementation significantly improves the reliability, observability, and maintainability of the Vesting Vault backend system.
