# SubStream Protocol WebSocket Implementation

This document provides an overview of the WebSocket implementation that addresses issues #151, #152, #153, and #154.

## Issues Addressed

### #151 - NestJS WebSocket Gateway for Real-Time Merchant Dashboards
✅ **COMPLETED**
- Implemented NestJS WebSocket Gateway using Socket.IO
- Created real-time event streaming for payment success, failure, and trial conversions
- Added heartbeat mechanism for zombie connection detection
- Ensured asynchronous operation without blocking REST API

### #152 - Redis Pub/Sub Integration for Multi-Pod WebSocket Scaling
✅ **COMPLETED**
- Integrated Redis Pub/Sub adapter for horizontal scaling
- Implemented event broadcasting across all WebSocket pods
- Added Redis reconnection handling with event buffering
- Created dedicated Redis instance support for Pub/Sub
- Implemented payload compression for Redis I/O optimization

### #153 - Secure WebSocket Authentication via SEP-10 JWTs
✅ **COMPLETED**
- Implemented SEP-10 JWT authentication for WebSocket connections
- Added cryptographic signature verification
- Created merchant-specific room assignments based on Stellar public keys
- Implemented active token expiration checking
- Added cross-tenant data leakage prevention

### #154 - Real-Time Dunning Alerts and Payment Failure Streams
✅ **COMPLETED**
- Created specialized payment failure event handling
- Implemented event debouncing and batching (10 events/second threshold)
- Added deep link references for user profile navigation
- Created distinct failure event stream from standard revenue events
- Implemented high-priority failure handling for critical errors

## Key Features

### 🔐 Security
- **SEP-10 JWT Authentication**: Cryptographic verification of Stellar tokens
- **Room Isolation**: Mathematical tenant separation using public keys
- **Token Expiration**: Active monitoring and automatic disconnection
- **Cross-tenant Prevention**: Impossible data leakage between merchants

### 📈 Scalability
- **Horizontal Scaling**: Redis Pub/Sub enables unlimited pod scaling
- **Load Distribution**: Clients connect to any available pod
- **Event Buffering**: Graceful handling of Redis connectivity issues
- **Compression**: Optimized Redis I/O with payload compression

### ⚡ Performance
- **Real-time Events**: Sub-second latency for payment notifications
- **Batch Processing**: Intelligent debouncing for high-volume failures
- **Heartbeat System**: Automatic cleanup of zombie connections
- **Async Operation**: Non-blocking WebSocket gateway

### 🔧 Reliability
- **Reconnection Logic**: Automatic Redis reconnection with exponential backoff
- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error recovery mechanisms
- **Health Monitoring**: Built-in health checks and metrics
- **Graceful Degradation**: Service continues during partial outages

## Quick Start

### 1. Environment Setup

```bash
# Copy environment template
cp .env.example .env

# Configure required variables
echo "JWT_SECRET=your-super-secret-jwt-key" >> .env
echo "REDIS_PUBSUB_URL=redis://localhost:6379" >> .env
echo "WS_PORT=3001" >> .env
```

### 2. Install Dependencies

```bash
npm install
```

### 3. Start Services

```bash
# Start existing Express API (port 3000)
npm start

# Start WebSocket Gateway (port 3001)
npm run start:ws:dev
```

### 4. Test Connection

```javascript
import { io } from 'socket.io-client';

const socket = io('ws://localhost:3001/merchant', {
auth: {
token: 'your-sep-10-jwt-token'
}
});

socket.on('connected', (data) => {
console.log('Connected to SubStream Protocol!');
console.log('Merchant ID:', data.merchantId);
});
```

## API Endpoints

### WebSocket Connection
```
ws://localhost:3001/merchant
```

### Health Check
```
GET http://localhost:3001/health
```

## Event Types

### Payment Success
```typescript
interface PaymentSuccessPayload {
stellarPublicKey: string;
planId: string;
amount: string;
timestamp: string;
transactionHash: string;
}
```

### Payment Failure
```typescript
interface PaymentFailedPayload {
stellarPublicKey: string;
planId: string;
userId: string;
failureReason: string;
timestamp: string;
deepLinkRef: string;
}
```

### Trial Conversion
```typescript
interface TrialConvertedPayload {
stellarPublicKey: string;
planId: string;
userId: string;
timestamp: string;
}
```

## Testing

### Run All Tests
```bash
npm run test:ws
```

### Run with Coverage
```bash
npm run test:ws:cov
```

### Run Integration Tests
```bash
npm run test:ws:e2e
```

## Deployment

### Docker Configuration

```dockerfile
FROM node:18-alpine

WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci --only=production

COPY dist/ ./dist/
EXPOSE 3001

CMD ["node", "dist/main"]
```

### Kubernetes Deployment

```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: websocket-gateway
spec:
replicas: 3
selector:
matchLabels:
app: websocket-gateway
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: websocket-gateway
spec:
containers:
- name: websocket-gateway
image: substream/websocket-gateway:latest
ports:
- containerPort: 3001
env:
- name: REDIS_PUBSUB_URL
value: "redis://redis-cluster:6379"
- name: JWT_SECRET
valueFrom:
secretKeyRef:
name: jwt-secret
key: secret
```

## Monitoring

### Metrics Available
- Active connections per merchant
- Events per second (EPS)
- Connection duration statistics
- Redis queue depth
- Token expiration events
- Error rates by type

### Health Check Response
```json
{
"status": "healthy",
"timestamp": "2024-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
"version": "1.0.0",
"services": {
"websocket": "active",
"redis": "connected",
"authentication": "active"
},
"metrics": {
"activeConnections": 150,
"eventsPerSecond": 45,
"redisStatus": "ready"
}
}
```

## Security Considerations

### Token Validation
- All connections require valid SEP-10 JWT tokens
- Tokens are cryptographically verified using configured secret
- Stellar public key extraction from `sub` claim
- Automatic disconnection on token expiration

### Room Isolation
- Each merchant assigned to room named after their public key
- Mathematical impossibility of cross-tenant data leakage
- Events only routed to intended recipients
- Room membership validated on each event

### Rate Limiting
- Connection limits per merchant and IP
- Event rate limiting to prevent abuse
- Burst capacity for legitimate high-volume events
- Automatic throttling under load

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

1. **Connection Rejected**
- Verify JWT token format and validity
- Check `sub` claim contains Stellar public key
- Ensure token is not expired

2. **Missing Events**
- Verify Redis connectivity
- Check merchant room assignment
- Review event payload format

3. **Performance Issues**
- Monitor Redis memory usage
- Check connection pool size
- Review batch processing metrics

### Debug Mode
```bash
DEBUG=socket.io:* npm run start:ws:dev
```
