Purpose

Every store that scopes by the deployment id read it from configuration once, at construction. That works for a server holding one deployment, but it means a request cannot be served for any other, and the id is decided in as many places as there are stores.

Goals

Decide a request's deployment id once, at the edge, and have the stores read it from there.

Approach

  • DeploymentIDMiddleware runs for every request and puts the deployment id on its context. It sits just inside the correlation id middleware and outside the security layer, so anything reached during the request already has it.
  • The configuration stores resolve the id per request through a small scope(ctx) helper, rather than holding it as a field captured at construction.
  • deployment.Resolve prefers the context and falls back to the store's configured identifier. The fallback covers one case: contexts that never passed through the edge, such as start-up tasks, background jobs and command line tooling.

Behaviour is unchanged. This server holds one deployment, so the context always carries the configured identifier, which is the value the stores read before.

Stores converted

cert, entity, entitytype, group, idp, inboundclient, notification, ou, resource, role, serverconfig, vc/credential and vc/presentation. 188 call sites.

Stores not converted

The layout, theme and translation stores keep the configured identifier for now. Their methods take no context.Context at all, so converting them means changing their interfaces and every caller. That is a separate change and follows in its own PR.

Deriving the id from a token is deliberately not here

Nothing in this repository serves more than one deployment, so a token claim reader would be a code path this product never takes. The seam is one function, deploymentIDForRequest. A build that serves many deployments derives the id per request there and changes nothing else, because everything downstream already reads the context.

User stories

As a maintainer I can see in one place where a request's deployment id comes from, rather than in every store that scopes by it.

Release note

The deployment id is placed on the request context at the edge, and the configuration stores read it from there.

Documentation

N/A, no user-facing change. The reasoning sits in the comments on the middleware and on Resolve.

Training

N/A

Tests

New middleware tests cover the id reaching a handler's context, and the context being left alone when no identifier is configured. Package tests cover the context winning over the fallback, and the fallback applying to a context that carries none.

make lint_backend reports 0 issues, the full unit suite passes, and the full integration suite passes against a fresh build: 50 suites, 0 failures.

Related PRs

None. This was previously part of #5189, which stacked it on two unrelated changes; that PR is closed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added per-request deployment identification for consistent request and data scoping.
    • Persisted resources now use the deployment associated with each request, with a configured fallback when unavailable.
    • Added support for extracting organization identifiers from deployment identifiers.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified the server configuration field used to identify a deployment.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The server now propagates deployment identifiers through request contexts. New helpers resolve identifiers and organization prefixes. HTTP middleware attaches the identifier before downstream handlers and stores. All listed stores use request-scoped deployment identifiers with configured fallbacks.

Changes

Deployment request scoping

Layer / File(s) Summary
Deployment context and resolution
backend/internal/system/deployment/deployment.go, backend/internal/system/deployment/deployment_test.go, backend/pkg/thunderidengine/config/config.go
The new package stores and resolves deployment identifiers, reports context scope, derives organization prefixes, and documents the server configuration field. Tests cover fallback and context precedence.
Request context middleware and HTTP integration
backend/internal/system/middleware/deploymentid.go, backend/internal/system/middleware/deploymentid_test.go, backend/cmd/server/main.go
The middleware adds a configured deployment identifier to request contexts. The HTTP server places it in the middleware chain before downstream handlers and stores. Tests cover configured and empty identifiers.
Deployment-aware persistence
backend/internal/{cert,entity,entitytype,group,idp,inboundclient,notification,ou,resource,role,serverconfig}/store.go, backend/internal/vc/{credential,presentation}/store.go
All listed stores resolve deployment scope from the request context and use the configured store identifier as a fallback for database operations.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 98ebe

Deployment scope now follows each request context for persistence operations, with configured fallback behavior. Remaining documentation and regression-test gaps could allow a future change to route reads or writes to the configured deployment rather than the request deployment.

Add direct tests for the new resolution helpers.

ResolveDefault and OrganizationOf have no direct coverage in deployment_test.go. Add tests for initialized and uninitialized default resolution, plus IDs with no organization, an empty organization, and a normal <org>:<gateway> value. This is required to meet the new-feature coverage target.

As per coding guidelines, “Write tests for new features and bug fixes, targeting at least 80% coverage.”

Every store that scopes by the deployment id read it from configuration once, at
construction, so a request could not be served for any other deployment and the
id was decided in as many places as there are stores.

A middleware now puts the id on each request's context at the edge, and the
configuration stores resolve it from there through a scope helper, falling back
to the configured identifier for a context that never passed through the edge,
such as a start-up task or a background job.

Behaviour is unchanged: this server holds one deployment, so the context always
carries the configured identifier, which is the value the stores read before.

Deriving the id from a token is deliberately not here. A build that serves more
than one deployment replaces deploymentIDForRequest and changes nothing else,
because everything downstream already reads the context.

The layout, theme and translation stores are left as they were. Their methods
take no context at all, so converting them means changing their interfaces and
their callers, which follows separately.

Add persistence deployment-scope tests.

This cohort changes database scope selection in six stores. It includes no changed store-level test for context precedence and configured fallback. A regression can route a store operation to the configured deployment instead of the request deployment.

  • backend/internal/entity/store.go#L99-L103: Test read and write query arguments with a request deployment and with no deployment in the context.
  • backend/internal/cert/store.go#L42-L46: Test certificate read and mutation query arguments for both resolution paths.
  • backend/internal/group/store.go#L106-L110: Test group and membership query arguments for both resolution paths.
  • backend/internal/notification/store.go#L62-L66: Test sender query arguments for both resolution paths.
  • backend/internal/serverconfig/store.go#L38-L42: Test configuration read and upsert query arguments for both resolution paths.
  • backend/internal/vc/presentation/store.go#L54-L58: Test presentation-definition query arguments for both resolution paths.

As per coding guidelines, “Write tests for new features and bug fixes, targeting at least 80% coverage.”
