| 229 | + |
| 230 | +## Database Schema |
| 231 | + |
| 232 | +The service automatically creates these tables: |
| 233 | + |
| 234 | +- **configurations** - Configuration key-value pairs |
| 235 | +- **environments** - Environment definitions |
| 236 | +- **secrets** - Encrypted secrets |
| 237 | +- **audit_logs** - Change audit trail |
| 238 | +- **webhook_subscriptions** - Webhook subscriptions |
| 239 | + |
| 240 | +## Integration with Other Services |
| 241 | + |
| 242 | +### 1. Fetch Config on Startup |
| 243 | + |
| 244 | +```typescript |
| 245 | +// In your service |
| 246 | +import { HttpService } from '@nestjs/axios'; |
| 247 | + |
| 248 | +constructor(private http: HttpService) {} |
| 249 | + |
| 250 | +async onModuleInit() { |
| 251 | + const config = await this.http |
| 252 | + .get('http://config-service:3020/configurations/key/MY_CONFIG') |
| 253 | + .toPromise(); |
| 254 | + |
| 255 | + console.log(config.data); |
| 256 | +} |
| 257 | +``` |
| 258 | + |
| 259 | +### 2. Handle Webhook Updates |
| 260 | + |
| 261 | +```typescript |
| 262 | +// In your service |
| 263 | +@Controller('webhooks') |
| 264 | +export class WebhookController { |
| 265 | + @Post('config-update') |
| 266 | + handleConfigUpdate(@Body() payload: any) { |
| 267 | + console.log('Config updated:', payload.event, payload.data); |
| 268 | + // React to config changes |
| 269 | + } |
| 270 | +} |
| 271 | +``` |
| 272 | + |
| 273 | +### 3. Use Secrets |
| 274 | + |
| 275 | +```typescript |
| 276 | +// Get decrypted secret value |
| 277 | +const response = await this.http |
| 278 | + .get('http://config-service:3020/secrets/secret-id/value') |
| 279 | + .toPromise(); |
| 280 | + |
| 281 | +const secretValue = response.data.value; |
| 282 | +``` |
| 283 | + |
| 284 | +## Security Best Practices |
| 285 | + |
| 286 | +1. **ENCRYPTION_KEY**: Use a strong, random 32+ character key |
| 287 | +2. **Secret Storage**: Never log or expose secret values |
| 288 | +3. **Webhook Secrets**: Use HMAC signatures to verify webhook authenticity |
| 289 | +4. **Database**: Use strong credentials in production |
| 290 | +5. **CORS**: Configure appropriately for your deployment |
| 291 | +6. **Audit Logs**: Monitor for unauthorized access or changes |
| 292 | + |
| 293 | +## Production Deployment |
| 294 | + |
| 295 | +### 1. Build Docker Image |
| 296 | + |
| 297 | +```bash |
| 298 | +docker build -t config-service:1.0.0 . |
| 299 | +``` |
| 300 | + |
| 301 | +### 2. Environment Setup |
| 302 | + |
| 303 | +```bash |
| 304 | +# Use strong encryption key |
| 305 | +ENCRYPTION_KEY=<generate-secure-32-char-key> |
| 306 | + |
| 307 | +# Use production database |
| 308 | +DB_HOST=prod-postgres.example.com |
| 309 | +DB_USER=prod_user |
| 310 | +DB_PASSWORD=<secure-password> |
| 311 | +DB_NAME=config_prod |
| 312 | +``` |
| 313 | + |
| 314 | +### 3. Health Check |
| 315 | + |
| 316 | +```bash |
| 317 | +curl http://localhost:3020/health |
| 318 | +``` |
| 319 | + |
| 320 | +### 4. Scaling |
| 321 | + |
| 322 | +The service is stateless (except for caching) and can be scaled horizontally. |
| 323 | + |
| 324 | +## Troubleshooting |
| 325 | + |
| 326 | +### Port Already in Use |
| 327 | +```bash |
| 328 | +# Change port in .env |
| 329 | +SERVICE_PORT=3021 |
| 330 | +``` |
| 331 | + |
| 332 | +### Database Connection Failed |
| 333 | +```bash |
| 334 | +# Verify PostgreSQL is running |
| 335 | +# Check DB credentials in .env |
| 336 | +# Ensure database exists |
| 337 | +``` |
| 338 | + |
| 339 | +### Encryption Issues |
| 340 | +```bash |
| 341 | +# Verify ENCRYPTION_KEY is set |
| 342 | +# Minimum 32 characters required for AES-256-CBC |
| 343 | +``` |
| 344 | + |
| 345 | +## Next Steps |
| 346 | + |
| 347 | +1. ✅ Customize environment variables for your deployment |
| 348 | +2. ✅ Run database migrations |
| 349 | +3. ✅ Start the service (Docker or locally) |
| 350 | +4. ✅ Create initial environments (dev/staging/prod) |
| 351 | +5. ✅ Add configurations and secrets |
| 352 | +6. ✅ Subscribe other services to webhooks |
| 353 | +7. ✅ Monitor audit logs |
| 354 | + |
