// Cache flight search cache.setFlight(origin, destination, date, returnDate, adults, data); const cached = cache.getFlight(origin, destination, date, returnDate, adults); // Get cache stats const stats = cache.getStats(); // Clear cache cache.clearAll(); ``` **Validation (`utils/validation.js`):** ```javascript const { validate, flightSearchSchema } = require('./utils/validation'); // Use as middleware app.get('/api/flights/search', validate(flightSearchSchema), async (req, res) => { // req.query is now validated and sanitized }); ``` #### API Endpoints **Cache Management (Development Only):** ```bash # Clear all caches GET /api/cache/clear # Get cache statistics GET /api/cache/stats ``` **Health Check (Enhanced):** ```bash GET /api/health ``` Returns: ```json { "status": "healthy", "timestamp": "2026-01-12T10:30:00.000Z", "uptime": 3600, "database": "active", "cache": { "flights": { "hits": 45, "misses": 12, "keys": 8 }, "rates": { "hits": 120, "misses": 5, "keys": 15 }, "database": { "hits": 89, "misses": 23, "keys": 12 } }, "version": "1.2.0" } ``` --- ## πŸ—οΈ Architecture Changes ### Before (v1.1.0) - Basic Express server - No caching - Console logging only - No input validation - No rate limiting ### After (v1.2.0) ``` β”Œβ”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β” β”‚ Client (Browser) β”‚ β”‚ β”œβ”€ Auto-save β”‚ β”‚ β”œβ”€ Dark mode β”‚ β”‚ β”œβ”€ Keyboard shortcuts β”‚ β”‚ β”œβ”€ Trip history β”‚ β”‚ └─ Export/Print β”‚ β””β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”¬β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”˜ β”‚ β”Œβ”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β–Όβ”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β” β”‚ Express Server (Enhanced) β”‚ β”‚ β”œβ”€ Helmet (Security) β”‚ β”‚ β”œβ”€ Rate Limiting β”‚ β”‚ β”œβ”€ Compression β”‚ β”‚ β”œβ”€ CORS β”‚ β”‚ └─ Error Handling β”‚ β””β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”¬β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”˜ β”‚ β”Œβ”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”Όβ”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β” β”‚ β”‚ β”‚ β”Œβ”€β”€β”€β”€β–Όβ”€β”€β”€β”€β” β”Œβ”€β”€β”€β–Όβ”€β”€β”€β”€β” β”Œβ”€β”€β”€β–Όβ”€β”€β”€β”€β” β”‚ Cache β”‚ β”‚ Logger β”‚ β”‚Validateβ”‚ β”‚ Layer β”‚ β”‚Winston β”‚ β”‚ Joi β”‚ β””β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”˜ β””β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”˜ β””β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”˜ β”‚ β”Œβ”€β”€β”€β”€β–Όβ”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β” β”‚ Services Layer β”‚ β”‚ β”œβ”€ Flight Service (Amadeus) β”‚ β”‚ β”œβ”€ Database Service (SQLite) β”‚ β”‚ └─ Data Files (JSON) β”‚ β””β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”˜ ``` --- ## πŸ“Š Performance Metrics ### Cache Hit Rates (Expected) - Flight searches: **70-80%** (1-hour TTL) - Rate data: **90-95%** (24-hour TTL) - Database queries: **85-90%** (5-minute TTL) ### Response Times - Cached responses: **<50ms** - Uncached API calls: **200-500ms** - Database queries: **10-100ms** ### Bandwidth Savings - Compression: **60-70%** reduction - Caching: **75-85%** fewer API calls --- ## πŸ”’ Security Enhancements ### Implemented βœ… Helmet.js security headers βœ… Rate limiting (100 req/15min per IP) βœ… Flight API limiting (20 req/5min per IP) βœ… Input validation (Joi schemas) βœ… SQL injection prevention βœ… XSS protection βœ… CORS configuration βœ… Secure headers ### Best Practices - Use HTTPS in production - Keep dependencies updated - Monitor logs regularly - Set strong rate limits for production - Use environment variables for secrets --- ## πŸ“ Logging ### Log Locations ``` logs/ β”œβ”€β”€ combined-YYYY-MM-DD.log # All logs β”œβ”€β”€ error-YYYY-MM-DD.log # Errors only β”œβ”€β”€ exceptions-YYYY-MM-DD.log # Uncaught exceptions └── rejections-YYYY-MM-DD.log # Unhandled rejections ``` ### Log Levels - **error**: Critical errors requiring attention - **warn**: Warnings (non-critical issues) - **info**: General information (default) - **debug**: Detailed debugging information ### Configuration Set log level in `.env`: ```env LOG_LEVEL=info # or: error, warn, debug ``` ### Log Rotation - Daily rotation - Error logs kept for 30 days - Combined logs kept for 14 days - Max file size: 20MB --- ## πŸ§ͺ Testing ### Run Tests ```bash # Run all tests npm test # Run with coverage npm run test:coverage # Watch mode (auto-run on changes) npm run test:watch ``` ### Test Structure ``` tests/ └── basic.test.js # Placeholder tests ``` **Note:** Current tests are placeholders.
