Microservices with Service Mesh - **Rationale**: Clean separation of concerns, independent scaling - **Communication**: HTTP REST + SignalR for real-time updates - **Service Discovery**: Docker network DNS resolution ### 2. Hangfire for Background Processing - **Benefits**: .NET native, web dashboard, persistent queues - **Use Cases**: Document generation, cloud uploads, batch processing - **Storage**: PostgreSQL for job persistence ### 3. Strategy Pattern for External Integrations - **Cloud Storage**: Pluggable providers (S3, Box, FTP) - **Help Centers**: Extensible article update system - **Benefits**: Easy to add new providers without core changes ### 4. SignalR for Real-time Updates - **Use Cases**: Build status, publishing progress, job completion - **Frontend Integration**: React SignalR client with auto-reconnection ### 5. Entity Framework with Repository Pattern - **Database**: Code-first migrations - **Testing**: In-memory provider for unit tests - **Performance**: Query optimization with projection ## Security Considerations ### Authentication & Authorization - JWT tokens with refresh mechanism - Role-based access control (Admin, User, ReadOnly) - Secure password hashing (bcrypt) ### API Security - HTTPS only in production - CORS properly configured - API rate limiting - Input validation and sanitization ### Secrets Management - Docker secrets for production - Environment variables for configuration - No hardcoded credentials ## Deployment Strategy ### Development - Docker Compose with hot-reload volumes - Shared PostgreSQL instance - Frontend dev server proxy to API ### Production - Individual Docker containers - Nginx reverse proxy - PostgreSQL with persistent volumes - Health checks and restart policies ## External Service Integration Details ### CruiseControl.NET Integration - **Connection Method**: TCP Remoting (`tcp://{server}:21234/CruiseManager.rem`) - **Library**: ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.Remote - **Log Format**: XML with embedded modification details - **FogBugz Case Extraction**: Regex pattern matching on commit comments - **Supported Patterns**: - Comments starting with case number - "fb{number}" or "FB{number}" patterns - "asp?{number}" patterns - Full URL patterns with "cases/{number}" ### FogBugz/Manuscript Integration - **Connection Method**: HTTP API (`http://{server}/api.asp`) - **Authentication**: Token-based with session management - **Event Processing**: Full case history with status tracking - **Release Note Extraction**: From "ReleaseNoted" events with `` filtering - **Status Mapping**: Opened, Resolved, Closed, Reactivated - **Zendesk Linking**: Custom field parsing for ticket numbers ### AWS S3 Integration - **CDN**: CloudFront integration for fast content delivery - **Features**: Folder cleanup, progress tracking, public URL generation - **Compression**: ZIP file creation with SharpSevenZip - **Cleanup**: Automatic deletion of old versions based on configuration ### Zendesk Integration - **API Version**: Zendesk API v2 with ZendeskApi_v2 library - **Template Variables**: `{{VERSION}}`, `{{SWURL}}`, `{{PDFURL}}` - **URL Generation**: Automatic CloudFront URL generation for downloads - **Locale Support**: Multi-locale article updates (default: en-us) ## Publishing Workflow ```mermaid sequenceDiagram participant User participant UI as React Frontend participant GW as API Gateway participant PUB as Publishing Service participant PROJ as Project Service participant MAN as Manuscript Service participant DOC as Document Service participant STOR as Storage Service participant HELP as Help Center Service participant HF as Hangfire participant SH as SignalR Hub participant DB as Database Note over User,UI: Package Management Phase User->>UI: Create/Edit Package Configuration UI->>GW: POST /api/packages Note over UI: Package List View, Package Details Form UI->>GW: GET /api/packages (List View) UI->>GW: GET /api/packages/{id} (Details) Note over User,UI: Publishing Phase User->>UI: Select Package & Build Version UI->>GW: POST /api/publish/package/{id}/build/{buildId} GW->>PUB: Queue Publishing Job PUB->>HF: Enqueue Multi-Step Background Job PUB->>SH: Notify Job Started SH->>UI: Show Publishing Progress UI Note over HF: Step 1: Validate Package Configuration HF->>DB: Create Publication Record HF->>PUB: Validate Package Settings PUB->>SH: Progress Update (10%) Note over HF: Step 2: Collect Build Data HF->>PROJ: Get Build Commits PROJ->>DB: Query BuildCommits for Build PUB->>SH: Progress Update (20%) Note over HF: Step 3: Query FogBugz for Release Notes HF->>MAN: Get Case Details for Commits MAN->>DB: Cache FogBugz Events PUB->>SH: Progress Update (30%) Note over HF: Step 4: Generate Release Notes PDF HF->>DOC: Generate PDF with FogBugz Data DOC->>DB: Store Document Path PUB->>SH: Progress Update (50%) Note over HF: Step 5: Compress Files (if configured) HF->>PUB: Compress Build Artifacts PUB->>SH: Progress Update (60%) Note over HF: Step 6: Upload to Cloud Storage HF->>STOR: Upload Package + PDF STOR->>PUB: Upload Progress Events PUB->>SH: Progress Update (75%) Note over HF: Step 7: Clean Up Old Versions HF->>STOR: Delete Old Published Builds PUB->>SH: Progress Update (80%) Note over HF: Step 8: Update Help Center Articles HF->>HELP: Update with Template Variables HELP->>PUB: Article Update Complete PUB->>SH: Progress Update (90%) Note over HF: Step 9: Update Package Status HF->>DB: Update Package PublishDate HF->>DB: Complete Publication Record Note over HF: Step 10: Send Completion Notification HF->>SH: Notify Complete (100%) SH->>UI: Show Success with Download Links UI->>User: Display Publication Summary ``` ## Data Flow Architecture ```mermaid flowchart TD subgraph "External Sources" CC[CruiseControl.NET
