netwatch-server is an MIT-licensed Go HTTP backend by
|
|
[@sneak](https://sneak.berlin) that receives telemetry reports from the NetWatch
|
|
SPA and persists them as zstd-compressed JSONL files on disk.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Build and run locally
|
|
make run
|
|
|
|
# Run tests, lint, and format check
|
|
make check
|
|
|
|
# Docker
|
|
docker build -t netwatch-server .
|
|
docker run -p 8080:8080 netwatch-server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Rationale
|
|
|
|
The NetWatch frontend collects latency measurements from the browser but has no
|
|
way to persist or aggregate them. This backend provides a minimal
|
|
`POST /api/v1/reports` endpoint that buffers incoming reports in memory and
|
|
flushes them to compressed files on disk for later analysis.
|
|
|
|
## Design
|
|
|
|
The server is structured as an `fx`-wired Go application under `cmd/netwatch-server/`.
|
|
Internal packages in `internal/` follow standard Go project layout:
|
|
|
|
- **`config`**: Loads configuration from environment variables and config files
|
|
via Viper.
|
|
- **`handlers`**: HTTP request handlers for the API (health check, report
|
|
ingestion).
|
|
- **`reportbuf`**: In-memory buffer that accumulates JSONL report lines and
|
|
flushes to zstd-compressed files when the buffer reaches 10 MiB or every 60
|
|
seconds.
|
|
- **`server`**: Chi-based HTTP server with middleware wiring and route
|
|
registration.
|
|
- **`healthcheck`**, **`middleware`**, **`logger`**, **`globals`**: Supporting
|
|
infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
| Variable | Default | Description |
|
|
| ---------- | ------------------ | --------------------------------- |
|
|
| `PORT` | `8080` | HTTP listen port |
|
|
| `DATA_DIR` | `./data/reports` | Directory for compressed reports |
|
|
| `DEBUG` | `false` | Enable debug logging |
|
|
|
|
### Report storage
|
|
|
|
Reports are written as `reports-<timestamp>.jsonl.zst` files in `DATA_DIR`.
|
|
Each file contains one JSON object per line, compressed with zstd. Files are
|
|
created with `O_EXCL` to prevent overwrites.
|
|
|
|
## TODO
|
|
|
|
- Add integration test that POSTs a report and verifies the compressed output
|
|
- Add report decompression/query endpoint
|
|
- Add metrics (Prometheus) for buffer size, flush count, report count
|
|
- Add retention policy to prune old report files
