The codebase has been refactored into a clear app/service layout with thin cmd entrypoints, shared internal/pkg libraries, health/readiness endpoints, structured middleware, and addressed reliability/security items. It is suitable for development and staging; production use still requires CORS restriction, optional metrics/tracing, and (if desired) request validation and OpenAPI.
| Area | Notes |
|---|---|
| Structure | cmd/<service>/main.go is thin (~25 lines); internal/app/* holds per-service composition; internal/pkg has api (response, middleware, handler), location, bridge, decoder, config, kafkaclient, logger, model, controller, service, database, apiclient, appcontext. |
| Concurrency | Channels, sync.WaitGroup, and AppState with RWMutex; event loops live in app layer, not in main. |
| Shutdown | signal.NotifyContext + app Run/Shutdown; Kafka and MQTT cleanup in app. |
| Kafka | KafkaManager, generic Consume[T], graceful close. |
| Observability | /health and /ready (DB ping); middleware: logging, recovery, request ID, CORS; logging to file with fallback to stderr if file open fails. |
| Reliability | No panics in library code for logger (fallback to stderr); MQTT connect returns error; server init returns error; WriteMessages errors checked in parser service and settings controller. |
| Security | TLS skip verify is configurable via TLS_INSECURE_SKIP_VERIFY (default false). |
| Testing | Unit tests for appcontext, utils, model, controller, service, config; integration tests for bridge/decoder. |
| Dependencies | Modern stack (slog, segmentio/kafka-go, gorilla/mux, gorm). |
internal/pkg/bridge/mqtt.go returns error from NewMQTTClient, cmd/bridge/main.go exits with log.Fatalf on error.internal/app/server; New/Init return errors; cmd/server/main.go uses log.Fatalf on error (no panic in library).CreateLogger no longer uses log.Fatalf; on log file open failure it returns a logger that writes only to stderr and a no-op cleanup.writer.WriteMessages(ctx, msg) return value is checked and propagated.writer.WriteMessages error is checked; on failure returns 500 and logs; response sets Content-Type: application/json.var DB *gorm.DB removed.config.Config has TLSInsecureSkipVerify bool (env TLS_INSECURE_SKIP_VERIFY, default false). Used in apiclient.UpdateDB and in location inference (NewDefaultInferencer(cfg.TLSInsecureSkipVerify))./health (liveness) and /ready (DB ping) via internal/pkg/api/handler/health.go.X-Request-ID), CORS.strings.SplitN(topic, "/", 2) to avoid panic; CSV branch validates and logs (no writer usage yet).internal/pkg/location/filter.go (e.g. SeenWeight, RSSIWeight, DefaultDistance).internal/app/<service> for init, run, and shutdown.getEnvPanic in config still panics on missing required env. To avoid panics in library, consider a LoadServerSafe (or similar) that returns (*Config, error) and use it only from main with explicit exit. Not changed in this pass.*). Restrict to known frontend origins when deploying (e.g. via env or config).http.Error or w.Write without a single response helper; api/response exists for new/consistent endpoints.ReadMessage/unmarshal error, logs and continues; no dead-letter or backoff yet.| Criterion | Score | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture | 8/10 | Clear app layer, thin main, pkg separation; handlers still take concrete DB/writer (can be abstracted later). |
| Reliability | 7/10 | No panics in logger/bridge init; WriteMessages errors handled; health/ready; logger fallback. |
| Security | 6/10 | TLS skip verify configurable (default off); CORS still broad; secrets in env. |
| Observability | 7/10 | Health/ready, request logging, request ID, recovery; no metrics/tracing. |
| API design | 6/10 | Response helpers and middleware in place; many handlers still ad-hoc; no spec/validation. |
| Testing | 6/10 | Good unit coverage; more integration/E2E would help. |
| Code quality | 8/10 | Clear structure, constants for magic numbers, dead code removed, duplication reduced. |
| Production readiness | 6/10 | Health/ready and error handling in place; CORS, metrics, and validation still to do. |
Average ≈ 6.75; grade 7.0/10 – Refactor and applied fixes significantly improve structure, reliability, and observability; remaining work is mostly CORS, validation, and metrics/tracing.
