📨 Event-Driven Architecture

Kafka Events

• User Events: user.registered, user.updated, user.deleted
• Auth Events: user.logged_in, user.logged_out, token.refreshed
• Email Events: email.welcome, email.password_reset, email.verification

Background Jobs (BullMQ)

• Email Processing: Welcome emails, password resets, verification
• Queue Management: Job retry logic and dead letter queues
• Monitoring: Queue statistics and job status tracking

Event Schema

All events follow standardized schemas defined in /src/schemas/kafka.schemas.ts:

{
  event: 'user.registered',
  userId: 'cuid123',
  email: '[email protected]',
  timestamp: '2023-01-01T00:00:00.000Z'
}

🐳 Docker & Deployment

🏢 CQRS Architecture

📝 Complete CQRS Implementation

Command Query Responsibility Segregation

• Write Operations - Commands handled by CommandBus
• Read Operations - Queries handled by QueryBus
• Event Processing - Events handled by EventBus
• Auto-discovery - Handlers registered automatically via decorators

Architecture Flow

Commands → CommandBus → CommandHandlers → Repository → Events
Queries → QueryBus → QueryHandlers → Repository → Results
Events → EventBus → EventHandlers → Side Effects

Available Commands

• CreateUserCommand - Create new user with validation
• UpdateUserCommand - Update user information
• DeleteUserCommand - Remove user from system

Available Queries

• GetUserQuery - Retrieve user by ID
• GetAllUsersQuery - List all users with pagination

Available Events

• UserCreatedEvent - Published when user is created
• UserUpdatedEvent - Published when user is modified
• UserDeletedEvent - Published when user is removed

💻 CQRS Usage Examples

Command Usage

// In your service
const user = await this.commandBus.execute(
  new CreateUserCommand('[email protected]', 'password123', 'John Doe')
);

Query Usage

// In your service
const user = await this.queryBus.execute(new GetUserQuery('user-id-123'));

const users = await this.queryBus.execute(
  new GetAllUsersQuery(10, 0) // limit, offset
);

Event Handling

@EventHandler(UserCreatedEvent)
export class UserCreatedHandler implements IEventHandler<UserCreatedEvent> {
  async handle(event: UserCreatedEvent): Promise<void> {
    // Send welcome email, update analytics, etc.
  }
}

Testing CQRS

# Run CQRS-specific tests
pnpm test test/cqrs.spec.ts

# All CQRS tests are included in unit tests
pnpm test:unit

🔧 Creating Custom CQRS Components

1. Create a Command

export class YourCommand implements ICommand {
  readonly type = 'YourCommand';
  constructor(public readonly data: any) {}
}

2. Create a Command Handler

@Injectable()
@CommandHandler(YourCommand)
export class YourCommandHandler implements ICommandHandler<YourCommand> {
  async execute(command: YourCommand): Promise<any> {
    // Handle command logic
  }
}

3. Register in Module

@Module({
  imports: [CqrsModule],
  providers: [YourCommandHandler],
})
export class YourModule {}

🌐 Multi-Protocol Examples

Protocol Usage Examples

HTTPS Secure Requests

// Configure SSL certificates
SSL_CERT_PATH = /path/ot / cert.pem;
SSL_KEY_PATH = /path/ot / key.pem;

// Make secure API calls
const httpsService = new HttpsService();
const response = await httpsService.makeSecureRequest('https://api.example.com/data');

WebSocket Real-time Communication

// Client-side WebSocket connection
const socket = io('ws://localhost:3000/ws');

// Send message
socket.emit('message', { text: 'Hello WebSocket!' });

// Join room for targeted messaging
socket.emit('join-room', 'user-notifications');

// Listen for responses
socket.on('response', (data) => console.log(data));

MQTT IoT Messaging

# Configure MQTT broker
MQTT_BROKER_URL=mqtt://localhost:1883
MQTT_USERNAME=your_username
MQTT_PASSWORD=your_password

// Publish user events
mqttService.publishUserEvent('user123', 'login', { ip: '192.168.1.1' });

// Publish system alerts
mqttService.publishSystemAlert('error', 'Database connection failed');

// Subscribe to topics
mqttService.subscribe('sensors/temperature');

gRPC High-Performance RPC

# Configure gRPC
GRPC_PORT=5000

// gRPC client usage
const client = new UserServiceClient('localhost:5000');

// Create user via gRPC
const user = await client.createUser({
  email: '[email protected]',
  name: 'John Doe',
  password: 'secure123',
});

// Get user via gRPC
const userData = await client.getUser({ id: 'user123' });

Testing Protocols

# Test all protocol implementations
pnpm test test/protocols.spec.ts

# Protocol tests are included in unit tests
pnpm test:unit

🔒 Security Implementation

🛡️ Multi-Layer Security

1. Helmet (@fastify/helmet)

• Content Security Policy (CSP): Prevents XSS attacks
• X-Frame-Options: Prevents clickjacking (set to DENY)
• X-Content-Type-Options: Prevents MIME type sniffing
• Referrer-Policy: Controls referrer information

2. Rate Limiting (@fastify/rate-limit)

• Default: 100 requests per minute per IP
• Configurable: Via RATE_LIMIT_MAX and RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW env vars
• IP-based: Uses client IP for rate limiting
• Graceful: Skips on error to maintain availability

3. Compression (@fastify/compress)

• Encodings: gzip, deflate
• Performance: Reduces bandwidth usage

4. Sensible Defaults (@fastify/sensible)

• HTTP errors: Standardized error responses
• Utilities: Common HTTP status codes and helpers

Security Headers

Custom Security Headers (via Fastify hooks)

• X-Frame-Options: DENY
• X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
• Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin
• Permissions-Policy: Restricts geolocation, microphone, camera

Cache Control for Sensitive Endpoints
