# Multi-Service API Architecture - Requirements

## Introduction
This feature implements a scalable API architecture consisting of multiple microservices that handle user management, content operations, and real-time notifications. The system must support high availability, horizontal scaling, and consistent data management across services.

## Requirements

### Requirement 1
**User Story:** As a system architect, I want a distributed API architecture, so that the system can scale independently and maintain high availability.

#### Acceptance Criteria
1. WHEN the system receives requests THEN it SHALL route them to appropriate microservices
2. WHEN a service fails THEN the system SHALL continue operating with degraded functionality
3. WHEN load increases THEN individual services SHALL scale independently
4. IF services need to communicate THEN they SHALL use well-defined APIs and messaging

### Requirement 2
**User Story:** As a developer, I want consistent data management across services, so that data integrity is maintained in the distributed system.

#### Acceptance Criteria
1. WHEN data is modified in one service THEN related services SHALL be notified of changes
2. WHEN transactions span multiple services THEN the system SHALL ensure data consistency
3. WHEN services are temporarily unavailable THEN data operations SHALL be queued and retried
4. IF data conflicts occur THEN the system SHALL have resolution strategies

### Requirement 3
**User Story:** As an API consumer, I want unified access to all services, so that I can interact with the system through a single interface.

#### Acceptance Criteria
1. WHEN making API requests THEN clients SHALL use a single entry point
2. WHEN services change internally THEN the external API SHALL remain stable
3. WHEN authentication is required THEN it SHALL work consistently across all services
4. IF rate limiting is needed THEN it SHALL be applied uniformly across the API

### Requirement 4
**User Story:** As a system administrator, I want comprehensive monitoring and observability, so that I can maintain system health and performance.

#### Acceptance Criteria
1. WHEN services are running THEN the system SHALL provide health checks and metrics
2. WHEN errors occur THEN they SHALL be logged and traced across service boundaries
3. WHEN performance degrades THEN alerts SHALL be triggered with actionable information
4. IF debugging is needed THEN distributed traces SHALL be available for request flows

# Multi-Service API Architecture - Design

## Overview
The system will be implemented using a microservices architecture with an API Gateway for unified access, event-driven communication between services, and shared infrastructure for cross-cutting concerns like authentication, logging, and monitoring.

## Components and Interfaces

### API Gateway
- **Purpose**: Single entry point, routing, authentication, rate limiting
- **Technology**: Kong/Nginx with custom plugins
- **Responsibilities**: Request routing, SSL termination, CORS, rate limiting

### Core Services

#### User Service
```typescript
interface UserService {
  // User management
  createUser(userData: CreateUserRequest): Promise<User>;
  getUserById(id: string): Promise<User>;
  updateUser(id: string, updates: UpdateUserRequest): Promise<User>;
  deleteUser(id: string): Promise<void>;

  // Authentication integration
  validateUserCredentials(email: string, password: string): Promise<AuthResult>;
  updateUserProfile(id: string, profile: ProfileData): Promise<User>;
}
```

#### Content Service
```typescript
interface ContentService {
  // Content operations
  createContent(authorId: string, content: CreateContentRequest): Promise<Content>;
  getContent(id: string): Promise<Content>;
  updateContent(id: string, updates: UpdateContentRequest): Promise<Content>;
  deleteContent(id: string): Promise<void>;

  // Content discovery
  searchContent(query: SearchQuery): Promise<ContentSearchResult>;
  getContentByAuthor(authorId: string): Promise<Content[]>;
  getFeedForUser(userId: string): Promise<Content[]>;
}
```

#### Notification Service
```typescript
interface NotificationService {
  // Notification management
  createNotification(notification: CreateNotificationRequest): Promise<Notification>;
  getNotificationsForUser(userId: string): Promise<Notification[]>;
  markNotificationAsRead(id: string): Promise<void>;

  // Real-time delivery
  subscribeToNotifications(userId: string): Promise<WebSocketConnection>;
  sendRealTimeNotification(userId: string, notification: Notification): Promise<void>;
}
```

### Event-Driven Communication
```typescript
interface EventBus {
  publish(event: DomainEvent): Promise<void>;
  subscribe(eventType: string, handler: EventHandler): Promise<void>;
  unsubscribe(eventType: string, handler: EventHandler): Promise<void>;
}

interface DomainEvent {
  id: string;
  type: string;
  aggregateId: string;
  payload: any;
  timestamp: Date;
  version: number;
}
```

## Data Models

### Service Data Isolation
- Each service owns its data and database
- No direct database access between services
- Data synchronization through events
- Eventual consistency model

### Shared Data Patterns
- **User Identity**: Shared user ID across services
- **Content References**: Content IDs used in notifications
- **Event Sourcing**: Domain events for audit and replay

## Error Handling

### Circuit Breaker Pattern
- Prevent cascade failures between services
- Automatic recovery and health checking
- Configurable failure thresholds

### Retry and Timeout Strategies
- Exponential backoff for transient failures
- Service-specific timeout configurations
- Dead letter queues for failed events

### Graceful Degradation
- Core functionality continues when non-critical services fail
- Cached responses when services are unavailable
- User-friendly error messages for service outages

## Testing Strategy

### Service-Level Testing
- Unit tests for business logic within each service
- Integration tests for database and external dependencies
- Contract testing between services

### System-Level Testing
- End-to-end tests for complete user workflows
- Load testing for scalability validation
- Chaos engineering for resilience testing

### Monitoring and Observability
- Health checks for each service endpoint
- Distributed tracing for request flows
- Business metrics and alerting
