Project Overview
This is an API Key Management Service (KMS) built with Go backend and React TypeScript frontend. The system manages API keys, user authentication, permissions, and provides both static tokens and user JWT tokens with hierarchical permission scopes.
Key Technologies:
- Backend: Go 1.23+ with Gin/Gorilla Mux, PostgreSQL, JWT tokens
- Frontend: React 19+ with TypeScript, Ant Design 5.27+
- Infrastructure: Podman/Docker Compose, Nginx, Redis (optional)
- Security: HMAC token signing, RBAC permissions, rate limiting

Development Commands
Go Backend
# Run the server locally (requires environment variables)
INTERNAL_HMAC_KEY=test-hmac-key JWT_SECRET=test-jwt-secret AUTH_SIGNING_KEY=test-signing-key go run cmd/server/main.go
# Build the binary
go build -o api-key-service ./cmd/server
# Run tests (uses kms_test database)
go test -v ./test/...
# Run tests with coverage
go test -v -coverprofile=coverage.out ./test/...
go tool cover -html=coverage.out -o coverage.html
# Run specific test suites
go test -v ./test/ -run TestHealthEndpoints
go test -v ./test/ -run TestApplicationCRUD
go test -v ./test/ -run TestStaticTokenWorkflow
go test -v ./test/ -run TestConcurrentRequests
React Frontend
# Navigate to frontend directory
cd kms-frontend
# Install dependencies (Node 24+, npm 11+)
npm install
# Start development server
npm start
# Build for production
npm run build
# Run tests
npm test
Podman Compose & Development Environment
CRITICAL: This project uses podman-compose, not docker-compose.
# Start all services (PostgreSQL, API, Nginx, Frontend)
podman-compose up -d
# Start with SSO testing enabled (Keycloak + SAML IdP)
podman-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.sso.yml up -d
# Check service health
curl http://localhost:8081/health
# View logs
podman-compose logs -f
# View specific service logs
podman-compose logs -f api-service
podman-compose logs -f postgres
podman-compose logs -f keycloak
podman-compose logs -f saml-idp
# Stop services
podman-compose down
# Stop SSO services
podman-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.sso.yml down
# Rebuild services after code changes
podman-compose up -d --build
Database Operations
CRITICAL: All database operations use podman exec commands. Never use direct psql commands.
Database Access
# Access database shell (container name: kms-postgres)
podman exec -it kms-postgres psql -U postgres -d kms
# Run SQL commands via exec
podman exec -it kms-postgres psql -U postgres -c "SELECT * FROM applications LIMIT 5;"
# Check specific tables
podman exec -it kms-postgres psql -U postgres -d kms -c "\dt"
podman exec -it kms-postgres psql -U postgres -d kms -c "SELECT token_id, app_id, user_id FROM static_tokens LIMIT 5;"
# Apply migrations manually if needed
podman exec -it kms-postgres psql -U postgres -d kms -f /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/001_initial_schema.up.sql
Database Testing
# Create test database (if needed)
podman exec -it kms-postgres psql -U postgres -c "CREATE DATABASE kms_test;"
# Reset test database
podman exec -it kms-postgres psql -U postgres -c "DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS kms_test; CREATE DATABASE kms_test;"
# Check test data
podman exec -it kms-postgres psql -U postgres -d kms -c "SELECT * FROM applications WHERE name LIKE 'test-%';"
Testing
The project uses podman-compose for all testing environments and database operations.
End-to-End Testing
# Start test environment with podman-compose, guaranteeing that it updates with --build
podman-compose up -d --build
# Wait for services to be ready
sleep 10
# Run comprehensive E2E tests with curl
./test/e2e_test.sh
# Test against specific server and user
BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080 USER_EMAIL=admin@example.com ./test/e2e_test.sh
# Clean up test environment
podman-compose down
Go Integration Tests
# Run Go integration tests (uses kms_test database)
go test -v ./test/...
# With podman-compose environment
podman-compose up -d
sleep 10
go test -v ./test/...
podman-compose down

Permission System
Hierarchical permission scopes (parent permissions include child permissions):
internal.*- System operations (highest level)app.*- Application managementtoken.*- Token operationsrepo.*- Repository access (example domain)permission.*- Permission management
Example: repo permission includes repo.read and repo.write.

Code Patterns & Architecture
Backend Patterns
- Repository Pattern: Data access via interfaces (
internal/repository/interfaces.go) - Dependency Injection: Services receive dependencies via constructors
- Middleware Chain: Security, auth, logging, rate limiting
- Structured Errors: Custom error types with proper HTTP status codes
- Structured Logging: Zap logger with JSON output
- Configuration Provider: Interface-based config with validation
- Multiple Auth Providers: Header, OAuth2, SAML support
Frontend Patterns
- React 19 with TypeScript
- Ant Design 5.27+ component library
- Context API for authentication state (
AuthContext.tsx) - Axios for API communication with interceptors
- React Router 7+ for navigation
- Component Structure: Organized by feature (Applications, Tokens, Users, Audit)
- Audit Integration: Real-time audit log viewing with filtering, statistics, and timeline views
Security Patterns
- HMAC Token Signing: All tokens cryptographically signed
- JWT with Rotation: User tokens with refresh capability
- Rate Limiting: Per-endpoint and per-user limits
- CSRF Protection: Token-based CSRF protection
- Audit Logging: All operations logged with user attribution
- Input Validation: Comprehensive validation at all layers
Audit System Architecture
- Handler:
internal/handlers/audit.go- HTTP endpoints for audit data - Logger:
internal/audit/audit.go- Core audit logging functionality - Repository:
internal/repository/postgres/audit_repository.go- Data persistence - Frontend:
kms-frontend/src/components/Audit.tsx- Real-time audit viewing - API Service:
kms-frontend/src/services/apiService.ts- Frontend-backend integration - Event Types: Hierarchical (e.g.,
auth.login,app.created,token.validated) - Filtering: Support for date ranges, event types, statuses, users, resource types
- Statistics: Aggregated metrics by type, severity, status, and time
SSO Testing Workflow
Quick Start - OAuth2/OIDC Testing (Keycloak)
# 1. Start services with SSO enabled
podman-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.sso.yml up -d
# 2. Wait for Keycloak to start (check logs)
podman-compose logs -f keycloak
# 3. Test OAuth2 login flow
curl -v "http://localhost:8090/realms/kms/protocol/openid-connect/auth?client_id=kms-api&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http://localhost:8081/api/oauth2/callback"
# 4. Access Keycloak admin console
open http://localhost:8090
# Login with: admin / admin
# 5. Test API with OAuth2 token
# (Use Keycloak to get access token, then use in Authorization: Bearer header)
Quick Start - SAML Testing (SimpleSAMLphp)
# 1. Services should already be running from previous step
# 2. Access SAML IdP admin console
open http://localhost:8091/simplesaml
# Login with: admin / secret
# 3. View IdP metadata
curl http://localhost:8091/simplesaml/saml2/idp/metadata.php
# 4. Test SAML authentication flow
# Navigate to your app and it should redirect to SAML IdP for auth
Environment Switching
# Switch to OAuth2 mode
podman exec kms-api-service sh -c "export AUTH_PROVIDER=sso OAUTH2_ENABLED=true && supervisorctl restart all"
# Switch to SAML mode
podman exec kms-api-service sh -c "export AUTH_PROVIDER=sso SAML_ENABLED=true && supervisorctl restart all"
# Switch back to header mode
podman exec kms-api-service sh -c "export AUTH_PROVIDER=header && supervisorctl restart all"

Important Files
internal/config/config.go- Complete configuration managementdocker-compose.yml- Service definitions and environment variablestest/e2e_test.sh- Comprehensive curl-based E2E teststest/README.md- Detailed testing guidedocs/- Technical documentation (Architecture, Security, API docs)
Development Workflow
- Always use
podman-compose(notdocker-compose) - Database operations via
podman execonly - Required environment variables for local dev (HMAC, JWT, AUTH keys)
- Run tests after changes:
go test -v ./test/... - Use E2E tests to verify end-to-end functionality
- Frontend dev server connects to containerized backend
Build & Deployment Notes
- Cache Issues: When code changes don't appear, use
podman-compose build --no-cache - Route Registration: New API routes require full rebuild to appear in Gin debug logs
- Error Handlers: Use
HandleInternalError,HandleValidationError,HandleAuthenticationError - API Integration: Frontend components should use real API calls, not mock data
- Field Mapping: Ensure frontend matches backend field names (e.g.,
actor_idvsuser_id)
Security Considerations
- Never commit secrets to repository
- All tokens use HMAC signing with secure keys
- Rate limiting prevents abuse
- Comprehensive audit logging for compliance
- Input validation at all layers
- CORS and security headers properly configured
