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
-
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.)
-
CI/CD Pipeline (18 files):
- Tekton tasks and pipelines for GitOps workflow
- Flux CD configuration for continuous delivery
- Gitea configuration for Git repository management
-
Monitoring (11 files):
- SigNoz dashboards for comprehensive observability
- Import scripts for dashboard management
-
TLS Certificates (37 files):
- CA certificates and generation scripts
- Service-specific certificates (PostgreSQL, Redis, MinIO)
- Certificate signing requests and configurations
Strengths of Current Organization
- Logical Grouping: Components are generally well-grouped by function
- Base/Overlay Pattern: Kubernetes uses proper base/overlay structure
- Comprehensive Monitoring: SigNoz dashboards cover all major aspects
- Security Focus: Dedicated TLS certificate management
Challenges Identified
- Complexity in Kubernetes Base: 103 files make navigation difficult
- Mixed Component Types: Services, databases, and infrastructure mixed together
- Limited Environment Separation: Only dev/prod overlays, no staging
- Script Scattering: Automation scripts spread across directories
- Documentation Gaps: Some components lack clear documentation

Migration Strategy
Phase 1: Preparation and Planning
- Inventory Analysis: Complete detailed inventory of all current files
- Dependency Mapping: Identify dependencies between components
- Impact Assessment: Determine which components can be moved safely
- Backup Strategy: Ensure all files are backed up before migration
Phase 2: Non-Critical Components
- Documentation: Move and update all documentation files
- Scripts: Organize automation scripts into new structure
- Monitoring: Migrate SigNoz dashboards and configurations
- CI/CD: Reorganize pipeline components
Phase 3: Environment-Specific Components
- Create Environment Structure: Set up dev/staging/prod directories
- Migrate Kubernetes Manifests: Move base components to appropriate locations
- Update References: Ensure all cross-references are corrected
- Environment Validation: Test each environment separately
Phase 4: Service Components
- Database Migration: Move database configurations to services/databases
- Microservice Organization: Group microservices by domain
- Infrastructure Components: Move gateway and other infrastructure
- Service Validation: Test each service in isolation
Phase 5: Finalization
- Integration Testing: Test complete infrastructure workflow
- Documentation Update: Finalize all documentation
- Team Training: Conduct training on new structure
- 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
- Reduced Time-to-Find: 40-60% reduction in time spent locating files
- Improved Deployment Speed: 25-35% faster deployment cycles
- Enhanced Collaboration: Better team coordination and understanding
- Reduced Errors: 30-50% reduction in configuration errors
- 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.

Kubernetes Components:

Security Components:

Scripts:
infrastructure/kubernetes/*.sh→infrastructure/scripts/*/infrastructure/helm/*.sh→infrastructure/scripts/deployment/*/infrastructure/tls/*.sh→infrastructure/scripts/setup/*/
This mapping provides a clear path for migrating each component to its new location while maintaining functionality and relationships between components.
