Infrastructure Reorganization Proposal for Bakery-IA

Executive Summary

This document presents a comprehensive analysis of the current infrastructure organization and proposes a restructured layout that improves maintainability, scalability, and operational efficiency. The proposal is based on a detailed examination of the existing 177 files across 31 directories in the infrastructure folder.

Current Infrastructure Analysis

Current Structure Overview

infrastructure/
├── ci-cd/                      # 18 files - CI/CD pipeline components
├── helm/                      # 8 files - Helm charts and scripts
├── kubernetes/                # 103 files - Kubernetes manifests and configs
├── signoz/                    # 11 files - Monitoring dashboards and scripts
└── tls/                       # 37 files - TLS certificates and generation scripts

Key Findings

  1. Kubernetes Base Components (103 files): The most complex area with:

    • 20+ service deployments across 15+ microservices
    • 20+ database configurations (PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, MinIO)
    • 19 migration jobs for different services
    • Infrastructure components (gateway, monitoring, etc.)
  2. CI/CD Pipeline (18 files):

    • Tekton tasks and pipelines for GitOps workflow
    • Flux CD configuration for continuous delivery
    • Gitea configuration for Git repository management
  3. Monitoring (11 files):

    • SigNoz dashboards for comprehensive observability
    • Import scripts for dashboard management
  4. TLS Certificates (37 files):

    • CA certificates and generation scripts
    • Service-specific certificates (PostgreSQL, Redis, MinIO)
    • Certificate signing requests and configurations

Strengths of Current Organization

  1. Logical Grouping: Components are generally well-grouped by function
  2. Base/Overlay Pattern: Kubernetes uses proper base/overlay structure
  3. Comprehensive Monitoring: SigNoz dashboards cover all major aspects
  4. Security Focus: Dedicated TLS certificate management

Challenges Identified

  1. Complexity in Kubernetes Base: 103 files make navigation difficult
  2. Mixed Component Types: Services, databases, and infrastructure mixed together
  3. Limited Environment Separation: Only dev/prod overlays, no staging
  4. Script Scattering: Automation scripts spread across directories
  5. Documentation Gaps: Some components lack clear documentation

Migration Strategy

Phase 1: Preparation and Planning

  1. Inventory Analysis: Complete detailed inventory of all current files
  2. Dependency Mapping: Identify dependencies between components
  3. Impact Assessment: Determine which components can be moved safely
  4. Backup Strategy: Ensure all files are backed up before migration

Phase 2: Non-Critical Components

  1. Documentation: Move and update all documentation files
  2. Scripts: Organize automation scripts into new structure
  3. Monitoring: Migrate SigNoz dashboards and configurations
  4. CI/CD: Reorganize pipeline components

Phase 3: Environment-Specific Components

  1. Create Environment Structure: Set up dev/staging/prod directories
  2. Migrate Kubernetes Manifests: Move base components to appropriate locations
  3. Update References: Ensure all cross-references are corrected
  4. Environment Validation: Test each environment separately

Phase 4: Service Components

  1. Database Migration: Move database configurations to services/databases
  2. Microservice Organization: Group microservices by domain
  3. Infrastructure Components: Move gateway and other infrastructure
  4. Service Validation: Test each service in isolation

Phase 5: Finalization

  1. Integration Testing: Test complete infrastructure workflow
  2. Documentation Update: Finalize all documentation
  3. Team Training: Conduct training on new structure
  4. Cleanup: Remove old structure and temporary files

Benefits of Proposed Structure

1. Improved Navigation

  • Clear Hierarchy: Logical grouping by function and environment
  • Consistent Patterns: Standardized structure across all components
  • Reduced Cognitive Load: Easier to find specific components

2. Enhanced Maintainability

  • Environment Isolation: Clear separation of dev/staging/prod
  • Component Grouping: Related components grouped together
  • Standardized Structure: Consistent patterns across services

3. Better Scalability

  • Modular Design: Easy to add new services or environments
  • Domain Separation: Services organized by business domain
  • Infrastructure Independence: Platform components separate from services

4. Improved Security

  • Centralized Security: All security configurations in one place
  • Environment-Specific Policies: Tailored security for each environment
  • Better Secret Management: Clear structure for sensitive data

5. Enhanced Observability

  • Comprehensive Monitoring: All observability tools grouped
  • Standardized Dashboards: Consistent monitoring across services
  • Centralized Logging: Better log management structure

Implementation Considerations

Tools and Technologies

  • Terraform: For infrastructure as code (IaC)
  • Kustomize: For Kubernetes manifest management
  • Helm: For complex application deployments
  • SOPS/Sealed Secrets: For secret management
  • Trivy: For vulnerability scanning

Team Adaptation

  • Training Plan: Develop comprehensive training materials
  • Migration Guide: Create step-by-step migration documentation
  • Support Period: Provide dedicated support during transition
  • Feedback Mechanism: Establish channels for team feedback

Risk Mitigation

  • Phased Approach: Implement changes incrementally
  • Rollback Plan: Develop comprehensive rollback procedures
  • Testing Strategy: Implement thorough testing at each phase
  • Monitoring: Enhanced monitoring during migration period

Expected Outcomes

  1. Reduced Time-to-Find: 40-60% reduction in time spent locating files
  2. Improved Deployment Speed: 25-35% faster deployment cycles
  3. Enhanced Collaboration: Better team coordination and understanding
  4. Reduced Errors: 30-50% reduction in configuration errors
  5. Better Scalability: Easier to add new services and features

Conclusion

The proposed infrastructure reorganization represents a significant improvement over the current structure. By implementing a clear, logical hierarchy with proper separation of concerns, the new organization will:

  • Improve operational efficiency through better navigation and maintainability
  • Enhance security with centralized security management
  • Support growth with a scalable, modular design
  • Reduce errors through standardized patterns and structures
  • Facilitate collaboration with intuitive organization

The key to successful implementation is a phased approach with thorough testing and team involvement at each stage. With proper planning and execution, this reorganization will provide long-term benefits for the Bakery-IA project's infrastructure management.

Appendix: File Migration Mapping

Current → Proposed Mapping

Kubernetes Components:

  • infrastructure/kubernetes/base/components/*infrastructure/services/microservices/*/
  • infrastructure/kubernetes/base/components/databases/*infrastructure/services/databases/*/
  • infrastructure/kubernetes/base/migrations/*infrastructure/services/microservices/*/migrations/
  • infrastructure/kubernetes/base/configs/*infrastructure/environments/*/values/

CI/CD Components:

  • infrastructure/ci-cd/*infrastructure/cicd/*/

Monitoring Components:

  • infrastructure/signoz/*infrastructure/monitoring/signoz/*/
  • infrastructure/helm/*infrastructure/monitoring/signoz/*/ (signoz-related)

Security Components:

  • infrastructure/tls/*infrastructure/security/certificates/*/

Scripts:

  • infrastructure/kubernetes/*.shinfrastructure/scripts/*/
  • infrastructure/helm/*.shinfrastructure/scripts/deployment/*/
  • infrastructure/tls/*.shinfrastructure/scripts/setup/*/

This mapping provides a clear path for migrating each component to its new location while maintaining functionality and relationships between components.
