🚀 Installation

npm install @iota-big3/sdk-middleware

🎯 Quick Start - Production Ready

Option 1: Enterprise Production Setup

import {
  createProductionMiddleware,
  applyToExpress,
} from "@iota-big3/sdk-middleware";
import express from "express";

const app = express();

// Create enterprise-grade middleware with all A+ features
const production = createProductionMiddleware({
  auth: authSDK,
  security: securitySDK,
  observability: observabilitySDK,
  integration: integrationSDK,
});

// Apply to Express with resilience patterns
applyToExpress(app, production.manager);

// Monitor performance and health
app.get("/health", (req, res) => {
  const report = production.performance.getPerformanceReport();
  res.json({
    status: "healthy",
    performance: report,
    timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
  });
});

Option 2: Preset Configurations

import { presets, applyToExpress } from "@iota-big3/sdk-middleware";

// Production preset with all enterprise features
const manager = presets.production({
  auth: authSDK,
  security: securitySDK,
  observability: observabilitySDK,
});

// API preset optimized for high-throughput APIs
const apiManager = presets.api({
  auth: authSDK,
  security: securitySDK,
  observability: observabilitySDK,
});

// Secure preset with enhanced security patterns
const secureManager = presets.secure({
  auth: authSDK,
  security: securitySDK,
  observability: observabilitySDK,
});

Option 3: Custom Builder Pattern

import { createMiddlewareManager } from "@iota-big3/sdk-middleware";

const manager = createMiddlewareManager({
  auth: authSDK,
  security: securitySDK,
  observability: observabilitySDK,
})
  .use("auth", {
    tokenLocation: "header",
    roles: ["admin", "user"],
    optional: false,
  })
  .use("validation", validationSchema, {
    stripUnknown: true,
    abortEarly: false,
  })
  .use("cors", {
    origin: process.env.ALLOWED_ORIGINS?.split(","),
    credentials: true,
  })
  .use("rateLimit", {
    windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000,
    max: 100,
  })
  .build();

🏗️ Advanced Enterprise Features

🔄 Circuit Breaker Pattern

import {
  createResilientMiddleware,
  CircuitBreakerState,
} from "@iota-big3/sdk-middleware";

const resilientFactory = createResilientMiddleware({
  intervalMs: 30000, // Health check interval
  unhealthyThreshold: 3, // Failures before opening
  healthyThreshold: 2, // Successes before closing
});

// Monitor circuit breaker state
resilientFactory.onStateChange((state: CircuitBreakerState) => {
  console.log(`Circuit breaker state changed to: ${state}`);
  if (state === CircuitBreakerState.OPEN) {
    // Alert operations team
    alerting.send("Circuit breaker opened - service degraded");
  }
});

⚡ Performance Monitoring

import {
  createOptimizedMiddleware,
  PerformanceConfig,
} from "@iota-big3/sdk-middleware";

const performanceConfig: PerformanceConfig = {
  enableProfiling: true,
  enableMemoryTracking: true,
  enableRequestSizeTracking: true,
  sampleRate: 0.1, // Sample 10% of requests
  slowRequestThreshold: 1000, // 1 second threshold
  memoryLeakThreshold: 50 * 1024 * 1024, // 50MB threshold
};

const optimizedFactory = createOptimizedMiddleware(
  performanceConfig,
  { defaultTtlMs: 300000 } // 5-minute cache TTL
);

// Get detailed performance report
app.get("/metrics", (req, res) => {
  const report = optimizedFactory.getPerformanceReport();
  res.json({
    performance: report.performance,
    memory: report.memory,
    cache: report.cache,
    uptime: report.uptime,
  });
});

🛡️ Type-Safe Runtime Validation

import {
  isJsonValue,
  isAuthUser,
  extractHeaderString,
  validateJsonBody,
} from "@iota-big3/sdk-middleware";

// Runtime validation with type guards
app.post("/api/users", (req, res, next) => {
  // Validate request body
  const bodyValidation = validateJsonBody(req.body);
  if (!bodyValidation.success) {
    return res.status(400).json({ error: bodyValidation.error });
  }

  // Extract and validate authorization header
  const token = extractHeaderString(req.headers.authorization);
  if (!token) {
    return res.status(401).json({ error: "Missing authorization token" });
  }

  // Validate user object from auth result
  if (req.user && !isAuthUser(req.user)) {
    return res.status(500).json({ error: "Invalid user data format" });
  }

  next();
});

🎛️ Framework Integration

Express Integration

import express from "express";
import { applyToExpress, presets } from "@iota-big3/sdk-middleware";

const app = express();
const manager = presets.production(sdkIntegrations);

// Apply middleware with error handling
applyToExpress(app, manager);

// Health check endpoint
app.get("/health", (req, res) => {
  const health = manager.getHealth();
  res.status(health.healthy ? 200 : 503).json(health);
});

Fastify Integration

import fastify from "fastify";
import { applyToFastify, presets } from "@iota-big3/sdk-middleware";

const server = fastify();
const manager = presets.api(sdkIntegrations);

// Apply middleware with async/await support
await applyToFastify(server, manager);

// Performance metrics endpoint
server.get("/metrics", async (request, reply) => {
  const metrics = manager.getMetrics();
  reply.send(metrics);
});

📊 Monitoring & Observability

Real-Time Metrics

// Performance monitoring
const performanceMetrics = manager.getPerformanceReport();
console.log("P95 Latency:", performanceMetrics.summary.p95ExecutionTime);
console.log("Memory Growth:", performanceMetrics.memory?.memoryGrowth);

// Health status monitoring
const health = manager.getHealth();
console.log("Service Health:", health.status);
console.log("Circuit Breaker State:", health.circuitBreaker);

// Event-driven monitoring
manager.on("middleware:executed", (event) => {
  if (event.duration > 1000) {
    logger.warn("Slow middleware execution", event);
  }
});

manager.on("error", (error) => {
  logger.error("Middleware error", error);
  metrics.increment("middleware.errors");
});

Production Deployment Health Checks

// Kubernetes-ready health endpoints
app.get("/health/live", (req, res) => {
  // Liveness probe - basic service availability
  res.status(200).json({ status: "alive" });
});

app.get("/health/ready", (req, res) => {
  // Readiness probe - service ready to handle traffic
  const health = manager.getHealth();
  const status = health.healthy ? 200 : 503;
  res.status(status).json({
    status: health.healthy ? "ready" : "not-ready",
    checks: health.checks,
    circuitBreaker: health.circuitBreaker,
    timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
  });
});

🏆 Architecture Excellence

Delegation, Not Duplication

Following IOTA Big3 SDK architectural principles:

• Authentication → Delegates to @iota-big3/sdk-auth
• Security & Validation → Delegates to @iota-big3/sdk-security
• Logging & Metrics → Delegates to @iota-big3/sdk-observability
• Health Checks → Delegates to @iota-big3/sdk-integration

Enterprise Patterns

• Circuit Breaker Pattern - Prevents cascade failures
• Retry Pattern - Handles transient failures
• Observer Pattern - Event-driven architecture
• Factory Pattern - Flexible middleware creation
• Strategy Pattern - Configurable execution modes

📈 Performance Benchmarks

A+ Grade Metrics

🚨 Error Handling

Graceful Degradation

// Circuit breaker prevents cascade failures
manager.on("circuitBreaker:open", () => {
  // Service degraded but operational
  logger.warn("Circuit breaker opened - entering degraded mode");
});

// Retry with exponential backoff
manager.on("retry:attempt", ({ attempt, error }) => {
  logger.info(`Retry attempt ${attempt} for error: ${error.message}`);
});

// Health check failure handling
manager.on("healthCheck:failed", ({ service, error }) => {
  logger.error(`Health check failed for ${service}: ${error.message}`);
});

🔐 Security Best Practices

Production Security

// Secure preset with enhanced validation
const secureManager = presets.secure({
  auth: authSDK,
  security: securitySDK,
  observability: observabilitySDK,
});

// Runtime input validation
app.use(
  secureManager.createValidationMiddleware(apiSchema, {
    stripUnknown: true, // Remove unknown properties
    abortEarly: false, // Collect all validation errors
    sanitizeInput: true, // Sanitize malicious input
  })
);

// Rate limiting with security focus
app.use(
  secureManager.createRateLimitMiddleware({
    windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, // 15 minutes
    max: 100, // Limit each IP to 100 requests per windowMs
    message: "Too many requests",
    keyGenerator: (req) => req.ip,
  })
);
