Orbsec is a made-up company which is developing an asset management application.
The application covers critical elements, such as inventory and license-management. This project is an ilustration of that application.
This application exposes several Rest endpoints, which allow basic CRUD operations.
If you imagine the Organization-service & Licensing-service as being 2 database entities, the relationship between entities would be OneToMany, meaning an organization can have multiple licenses associated with it.
When a new record is added to Organization database, an OrganizationChangeEvent is produced and published to (kafka) organization_events topic.
The Licensing service is listening to organization_events and reacts to incoming kafka messages.
The OrganizationChangeEvent object consists in:
- an identifier for the Organization record that has just been created/modified
- the type of database operation that has been performed (CREATION, UPDATE, DELETE)
When the message is received, the Licensing-service performs the following operations:
- it extracts the identifier of the Organization record that has been modified
- it makes an http request back to the
Organization-service, in order to receive the recently updated organization record - it saves the organization record into Redis cache
However, if the OrganizationChangeEvent contains a DELETE action:
- the
Licensing-serviceevicts its Redis cache for the deleted Organization identifier - it deletes all the licenses associated with the given Organization record.
-
logs are streamed over to Elastic stack
-
tracing information are injected into each request and streamed over to Zipkin via Kafka
-
service properties are centralized / served by the Configuration-service
- Zipkin fails to read tracing info from kafka broker
- when deployed, orbsec services fail to find / connect to kafka broker
- orbsec-services fail to find / connect to config-service
- reactivate security rules which are temporary disabled to avoid injections a new authorization code every 5 min (a new branch will be available where security is enabled)
