Implementation Summary: 4 Critical Infrastructure Tasks

Overview

This document summarizes the implementation of 4 critical infrastructure tasks for the LeaseFlow Protocol Backend, focusing on reliability, monitoring, documentation, and security compliance.

Task 1: DNS-Level Failover with Cloudflare ✅

Labels: devops, reliability, infrastructure

Implementation Details

Files Created:

  1. docs/DNS_FAILOVER_CONFIGURATION.md - Comprehensive guide covering:

    • Architecture overview (Primary AWS + Secondary DigitalOcean/GCP)
    • Cloudflare Load Balancing configuration
    • Health check setup and monitoring
    • Step-by-step implementation instructions
    • Cost estimation (~$98/month total)
    • Disaster recovery runbook
    • Compliance notes (SOC 2, GDPR, PCI DSS)

  2. infrastructure/cloudflare/main.tf - Terraform IaC configuration:

    • Primary health check (AWS ALB)
    • Secondary health check (backup servers)
    • Primary and failover pools
    • Geographic steering rules
    • Session affinity settings

  3. Health Check Endpoint (index.js):

    GET /health
    • Returns system status, uptime, database connectivity
    • Monitors Sentry and audit logging availability
    • HTTP 200 (healthy) or 503 (degraded)

Key Features:

  • ✅ Automatic DNS failover via Cloudflare
  • ✅ 60-second health check intervals
  • ✅ 3 consecutive failures trigger failover
  • ✅ Geographic traffic steering
  • ✅ Warm standby infrastructure support
  • ✅ Database replication configuration

How to Use:

  1. Review docs/DNS_FAILOVER_CONFIGURATION.md
  2. Deploy backup infrastructure (DigitalOcean or GCP)
  3. Apply Terraform configuration in infrastructure/cloudflare/
  4. Test failover using provided manual testing steps

Task 2: Sentry Integration with User Context ✅

Labels: devops, reliability, monitoring

Implementation Details

Dependencies Added:

"@sentry/node": "^7.91.0"

Files Created:

  1. src/services/sentryService.js - Complete Sentry integration:
    • SentryService class with full error tracking
    • User context enrichment (PublicKey, LeaseID)
    • Lease context tagging
    • Performance transaction tracking
    • Breadcrumb trail for debugging
    • Express middleware for automatic context capture

Files Modified:

  1. package.json - Added Sentry dependency
  2. src/config.js - Added Sentry configuration section
  3. index.js - Integrated Sentry middleware and error handler
  4. .env.example - Added Sentry environment variables

Key Features:

  • ✅ Automatic error capture with user context
  • ✅ PublicKey and LeaseID enrichment on every error
  • ✅ Distinguish network-wide vs. tenant-specific issues
  • ✅ Request/response tracking via middleware

Usage Example:

// In any service or controller
const { SentryService } = require('./services/sentryService');
const sentryService = new SentryService();

// Set user context
sentryService.setUserContext({
  publicKey: 'GABC...',
  leaseId: 'lease-123',
  role: 'tenant'
});

// Capture exception with enriched context
try {
  // ... code
} catch (error) {
  sentryService.captureException(error, {
    publicKey: req.actor.publicKey,
    leaseId: req.params.leaseId,
    extra: { /* additional context */ }

  • ✅ Automatic triggers on financial data changes
  • ✅ Old value and new value tracking
  • ✅ Admin ID attribution
  • ✅ IP address and user agent logging (when available)
  • ✅ Change reason field for manual entries
  • ✅ Full CRUD operations via REST API

  id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
  table_name TEXT NOT NULL,
  record_id TEXT NOT NULL,
  action_type TEXT CHECK IN ('INSERT', 'UPDATE', 'DELETE'),
  column_name TEXT NOT NULL,
  old_value TEXT,
  new_value TEXT,
  admin_id TEXT NOT NULL,
  admin_email TEXT,
  ip_address TEXT,
  user_agent TEXT,
  change_reason TEXT,

# Get statistics for Q1 2026
GET /api/audit/statistics?startDate=2026-01-01T00:00:00Z&endDate=2026-03-31T23:59:59Z
