Authentication Layer

6-Layer Architecture:

1. mTLS Client Certificate (optional, handled by tonic-tls)
2. JWT Extraction from Authorization header
3. JWT Revocation Check (Redis - <500ns)
4. JWT Signature & Expiration Validation (<1μs)

6. Rate Limiting (<50ns)

Metadata Forwarding:

• authorization → Backend (JWT token)
• x-user-id → Backend (User context)

Rate Limiting

Configuration (from /home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/services/api_gateway/src/routing/rate_limiter.rs):

• Algorithm: Token bucket
• Default Rate: 100 requests/second per user
• Burst Size: 5 requests
• Cache: In-memory LRU (10,000 entries)
• Cache Hit Latency: <8ns (DashMap lock-free)
• Redis Hit Latency: <500μs

Circuit Breaker

Implementation (from /home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/services/api_gateway/src/grpc/trading_proxy.rs):

• Health Check: Background task (10s interval)
• Failure Detection: Marks unhealthy on Unavailable or DeadlineExceeded
• Error Propagation: Returns Status::unavailable when open

Troubleshooting Guide

Issue 1: Connection Refused (Port 50051)

Symptom:

Error: transport error
Caused by:
    0: error trying to connect: tcp connect error: Connection refused (os error 111)

Solution:

# Check API Gateway is running
ps aux | grep api_gateway

# Check port availability
lsof -i :50051

# Restart API Gateway
export DATABASE_URL="postgresql://foxhunt:foxhunt_dev_password@localhost:5432/foxhunt"
export REDIS_URL="redis://localhost:6379"
export JWT_SECRET="test-secret-must-be-at-least-64-characters-long-for-security-validation-ok-1234567890"
cargo run -p api_gateway &

Issue 2: Trading Service Unavailable

Symptom:

Error: status: Unavailable, message: "trading service unavailable"

Solution:

# Check Trading Service is running
ps aux | grep trading_service

# Check port availability
lsof -i :50052

# Restart Trading Service
export DATABASE_URL="postgresql://foxhunt:foxhunt_dev_password@localhost:5432/foxhunt"
cargo run -p trading_service &

Issue 3: Authentication Failed

Symptom:

Error: status: Unauthenticated, message: "Invalid JWT token"

Solution:

# Verify JWT_SECRET matches in API Gateway
echo $JWT_SECRET
# Expected: test-secret-must-be-at-least-64-characters-long-for-security-validation-ok-1234567890

# Restart API Gateway with correct secret
export JWT_SECRET="test-secret-must-be-at-least-64-characters-long-for-security-validation-ok-1234567890"
cargo run -p api_gateway &

Issue 4: Redis Connection Failed

Symptom:

Error: Failed to connect to Redis for revocation service

Solution:

# Check Redis is running
docker-compose ps | grep redis

# Test Redis connection
redis-cli ping
# Expected: PONG

# Restart Redis if needed
docker-compose restart redis

Issue 5: Database Connection Failed

Symptom:

Error: Failed to connect to database

Solution:

# Check PostgreSQL is running
docker-compose ps | grep postgres

# Test database connection
psql postgresql://foxhunt:foxhunt_dev_password@localhost:5432/foxhunt -c "SELECT 1"
# Expected: 1

# Restart PostgreSQL if needed
docker-compose restart postgres

Issue 6: High Latency (> 1ms)

Symptom:

⚠️  WARNING: P99 1234 μs >= 1ms target

Investigation:

# Check system load
top

# Check Docker resource usage
docker stats

# Check network latency
ping localhost

# Restart services to clear caches
docker-compose restart
cargo clean && cargo build --release

Note: First request after restart will have higher latency due to:

• Connection pool establishment
• JIT compilation warmup
• Cache population
• Database connection initialization

Mitigation: Run warmup phase (100 requests) before measuring performance.
