The project is a simple file sharing service(part of it). It allows users to upload files and share them with other users. TECHNOLOGIES: The service is built on top of AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, Amazon S3, Amazon Cognito, and AWS SAM. The service is available through REST API. The web backend is AWS native Chalice framework. The last one has some nice features like automatic API doc generation and some integration with AWS SAM however it's very limited and anyways user ends up crating cloudformation template if he/she wants to follow IaC approach. The FLOW I chose is Document Sharing and Permissions. The app also supports storage system and some bit of identity management, also it uses JWT tokens to authenticate users. The auth backend is AWS Cognito. The implementation is relying on s3 tags to store permissions to let users to share files between users, with orgs and with spaces(safe zone). All mentioned entities implement Identifiable interface. The app has some unittests and e2e tests. IN ORDER TO RUN THE APP: run ./deploy.sh script. Design limitations: 1. the app was created with support of dev env and prod env in mind, but at the moment it is dev env only. 2. app availability and scalability are given by serverless model scalability and availability(very high). The downside is cold start time which for this type of application is negligible. The other concern may be the cost, which may be higher compared to traditional approach. 3. operation of checking permissions via metadata is not atomic with file update with corresponding consequences. if automation heavily uses it to update files consequences may show up. 4. the design for Spaces is adding a user to a group representing space in Cognito. This may be more dynamic than adding user to a Organization(once per lifetime). thus if user gets 403 when trying to access a document he/she has permission through Space permission in Cognito, there's a need to refresh a jwt token as group membership is stored in it. 5. S3 itself is eventually consistent when talking about object update and delete, thus simultaneous altering operations may lead to unexpected results. on other hand s3 is replicated across multiple AZs and regions, thus it's highly available and durable. Best practices and patterns: 1. built on top of fully managed infrastructure 2. IaC 3. DDD 4. OOP 5. SOLID 6. TDD 7. Usage of SSM Parameter Store to pass parameters from cloudformation template 8. few fabric methods in storage.domain.permissions.py 9. dependency injection on web_service level. too few business models to show the DI between them on scale, ask me to show how it looks on my current project if interested.
