GlyphOS Infrastructure Plan

Executive Summary

Proposing a production-grade infrastructure for the 600-glyph monument system. Current prototype (Rust/Axum + JSON files) needs database, auth, observability, and deployment pipeline.

---

1. Data Layer

Current State

• JSON files in glyphs/*.json
• Meta-glyph archive: glyph-complete-600.json (not yet present)
• In-memory HashMap with RwLock

Proposed Infrastructure

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                    Data Layer                           │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│  Primary DB: PostgreSQL 16                              │
│  - glyphs table (600 rows, canonical + semantic)        │
│  - meta_glyphs table (600 rows, full JSONB archive)     │
│  - lineage table (60 lineages, 6 super-families)        │
│  - hash_index table (FNV-1a → glyph_id mapping)         │
│                                                         │
│  Cache: Redis                                           │
│  - LRU cache for hot glyphs (TTL: 5min)                 │
│  - Search index cache (TTL: 1min)                       │
│  - Session/rate-limit counters                          │
│                                                         │
│  Search: Meilisearch (or Elasticsearch)                 │
│  - Full-text search across name, meaning, tags          │
│  - Fuzzy matching, typo tolerance                       │
│  - Lineage/band/period filtering                        │

Why PostgreSQL?

• JSONB for meta-glyph archive (flexible schema)
• ACID compliance for glyph uploads
• Row-level locking (better than RwLock contention)

---

2. API Layer Enhancements

Current Endpoints (12 total)

• Health, sample, list, get-by-id, search, reload, stats, upload
• Meta-glyph: list, get, search, project

Proposed Additions

Endpoint	Method	Purpose
/glyph/{id}/resonance	GET	Compute resonance with other glyphs
/glyph/batch	POST	Bulk upload (10-100 glyphs)
/lineage/{id}	GET	Get all glyphs in lineage
/lineage/{id}/activate	POST	Activate entire lineage cluster
/meta-glyph/{id}/diff	GET	Compare meta vs projected
/admin/backup	POST	Trigger DB backup
/admin/restore	POST	Restore from backup

Authentication Middleware

// Proposed auth flow
1. API key in `X-API-Key` header
2. Rate limiting: 100 req/min per key
3. Upload endpoints require admin scope
4. JWT for user sessions (optional)

4. Deployment Architecture

Containerization

# Multi-stage build
FROM rust:1.80 AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN cargo build --release

FROM debian:12-slim
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y ca-certificates
COPY --from=builder /app/target/release/glyph_backend /usr/local/bin
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["glyph_backend"]

Orchestration (Kubernetes)

# Deployment
replicas: 3
resources:
  requests: { cpu: "500m", memory: "512Mi" }
  limits: { cpu: "2", memory: "2Gi" }

# HPA (Horizontal Pod Autoscaler)
minReplicas: 3
maxReplicas: 10
targetCPUUtilization: 70%

# Pod Disruption Budget
minAvailable: 2

CI/CD Pipeline

GitHub → Actions → Build → Test → Docker → Deploy
         ├─ cargo test
         ├─ cargo clippy
         ├─ cargo fmt --check
         ├─ Integration tests (glyph upload/search)
         └─ Security scan (cargo audit)

5. Observability Stack

Metrics (Prometheus + Grafana)

• Request rate per endpoint
• Response latency (p50, p95, p99)
• Glyph cache hit rate
• DB connection pool usage
• Error rate by endpoint

Logging (Loki or ELK)

• Structured JSON logs
• Correlation IDs per request
• Glyph upload/change audit trail

Tracing (OpenTelemetry)

• Request flow: Gateway → API → DB → Cache
• Slow query detection
• Cross-service latency breakdown

---

6. Backup & Recovery

Strategy

Type	Frequency	Retention	Storage
DB Snapshot	Hourly	7 days	S3/GCS
DB Backup	Daily	30 days	S3 + Glacier
Glyph JSON Export	Weekly	90 days	S3
Meta-glyph Archive	On-change	Permanent	S3 + Versioning

Recovery RTO/RPO

• RTO (Recovery Time Objective): < 1 hour
• RPO (Recovery Point Objective): < 5 minutes

---

7. Security Hardening

Input Validation

• Glyph JSON schema validation (serde validator)
• Max payload size: 1MB per glyph
• Rate limiting: 100 req/min per API key

Network Security

• TLS 1.3 only (Cloudflare)
• API Gateway (Kong) for auth/rate-limiting
• Private DB network (no public access)

Audit Logging

• All /glyph/upload requests logged
• User/IP/timestamp in audit table
• Immutable log storage (WORM)

---

8. Scaling Strategy

Horizontal Scaling

• Stateless API pods (scale to 10 replicas)
• DB read replicas for search queries
• Redis cluster for cache

Vertical Scaling

• Current: 2 CPU / 2GiB per pod
• Max: 4 CPU / 8GiB per pod (before horizontal)

Glyph Count Scaling

• 600 glyphs: Current architecture fine
• 6,000 glyphs: Add read replicas, increase cache
• 60,000 glyphs: Sharding by lineage ID

---

9. Cost Estimate (Monthly)

Component	Provider	Cost
Compute (3 pods)	AWS EKS	$150
PostgreSQL (managed)	AWS RDS	$100
Redis (managed)	AWS ElastiCache	$50
Search (Meilisearch)	Self-hosted	$0
Storage (S3)	AWS S3	$20
CDN + SSL	Cloudflare	$0 (free tier)
Total		~$320/mo

Tradeoffs & Questions

Tradeoffs

1. PostgreSQL vs SQLite - PostgreSQL adds complexity but scales better. SQLite simpler for <10k glyphs.
2. Meilisearch vs Postgres FTS - Meilisearch better UX, but adds infra. Postgres FTS sufficient for 600 glyphs.
3. Kubernetes vs Docker Compose - K8s overkill for single server. Compose simpler for MVP.

Questions for You

1. Expected glyph count growth? (600 → 6,000 or stay at 600?)
2. Concurrent user load? (10 users or 10,000?)
3. Budget constraints? (Self-hosted vs managed services)
4. Deployment preference? (Single server, K8s, or serverless?)
5. Auth requirements? (API keys, OAuth, or open?)

---

Recommendation for MVP

For 600 glyphs with moderate traffic:

┌─────────────────────┐
│  Single EC2/Docker  │
│  - Rust API         │
│  - PostgreSQL       │
│  - Redis (optional) │
│  - Daily S3 backup  │
└─────────────────────┘
Cost: ~$50/mo

Scale to full infrastructure when:

• Glyph count > 5,000
• Concurrent users > 100
• Upload frequency > 10/day
