We need to define and implement the reliability concept for the DIDComm mediator server to ensure that it can operate consistently and recover from failures effectively. This includes addressing areas like fault tolerance, message delivery guarantees, retries, and system health monitoring. The goal is to ensure that the server performs reliably in real-world scenarios, providing confidence in its operation and stability.
Acceptance Criteria:
Fault Tolerance: Identify potential points of failure and implement strategies to ensure the system can continue functioning or gracefully degrade in the event of failure (e.g., service downtime, network failures).
Message Delivery Guarantees: Implement mechanisms to ensure reliable message delivery, such as retries, message acknowledgment, and exactly-once or at-least-once delivery semantics where applicable.
Graceful Recovery: Define and implement strategies for automatic recovery from crashes, network issues, or other failures, minimizing downtime.
Redundancy & Failover: Implement redundancy (e.g., multiple instances of the mediator server, database replication) to ensure high availability and failover capabilities.
Health Monitoring: Implement health checks (e.g., API health endpoints, resource usage monitoring) to track the health and performance of the server in real time.
Logging & Alerts: Set up robust logging and alerting mechanisms to monitor the system’s reliability and be notified of any issues in a timely manner.
Stress Testing: Perform load testing and simulate failure scenarios to identify potential weaknesses and assess the server’s ability to handle stress and recovery.
Additional Context:
Goal: The goal is to ensure that the DIDComm mediator server is resilient and can handle unexpected failures or disruptions while maintaining the integrity and availability of the system. This work will improve the robustness and stability of the system in production environments.
Scope: This ticket focuses on defining the reliability requirements and then implementing the necessary features and tests to meet them.
