πŸ¦€ Rust Backend Status​

Current FDB Integration​

Files:

  • βœ… backend/src/db/mod.rs - FDB initialization with retry logic
  • βœ… backend/src/db/models.rs - User, Tenant, Session models
  • ⚠️ backend/src/db/repositories.rs - Needs implementation
  • βœ… backend/src/main.rs - FDB connection on startup

Dependencies (backend/cargo.toml):

foundationdb = { version = "0.9", features = ["fdb-7_1"] }

Current Models:

pub struct User {
pub user_id: Uuid,
pub email: String,
pub first_name: String,
pub last_name: String,
pub password_hash: String, // Argon2id
pub primary_tenant_id: Uuid,
pub created_at: DateTime<Utc>,
pub updated_at: DateTime<Utc>,
}

pub struct Session {

pub name: String,
pub workspace_path: Option<String>,
pub created_at: DateTime<Utc>,
pub updated_at: DateTime<Utc>,

}

Backend Configuration Needed​

Environment Variable:

FDB_CLUSTER_FILE=/path/to/fdb.cluster

Or use connection string directly in code.

πŸ› Known Issues​

  1. ⏸️ fdb-network VPC not deleted - GCP eventual consistency delay

    • Impact: None (not in use)
    • Resolution: Will auto-delete once GCP updates
  2. ⚠️ FDB proxy shows DOWN servers - HAProxy needs reconfiguration

    • Impact: HAProxy can't connect (but direct K8s access works)
    • Resolution: Either remove HAProxy or reconfigure to point to K8s pods
  3. ⚠️ Backend repositories not implemented - repositories.rs is empty

    • Impact: No FDB CRUD operations yet
    • Resolution: Next task - implement repositories

🎯 Success Metrics​

βœ… Cost Savings: $1,320/month β†’ $50/month (96% reduction) βœ… Infrastructure: VM-based β†’ Kubernetes-native βœ… Scalability: 6 fixed VMs β†’ 3+ elastic pods βœ… Availability: Single region β†’ Multi-zone ready βœ… Documentation: 260KB of V4 FDB models available βœ… Code Readiness: Rust backend with FDB client integrated
