Demo Session Service - Modern Architecture

🚀 Overview

The Demo Session Service has been fully modernized to use a direct database loading approach with shared utilities, eliminating the need for Kubernetes Jobs and HTTP-based cloning. This new architecture provides instant demo creation (5-15s), deterministic data, and simplified maintenance.

🎯 Key Improvements

Previous Architecture ❌

    Tilt --> 30+KubernetesJobs
    KubernetesJobs --> HTTP[HTTP POST Requests]
    HTTP --> Services[11 Service Endpoints]
    Services --> Databases[11 Service Databases]

• 30+ separate Kubernetes Jobs - Complex dependency management
• HTTP-based loading - Network overhead, slow performance
• Manual ID mapping - Error-prone, hard to maintain
• 30-40 second load time - Poor user experience

🏗️ Architecture Components

1. Direct Database Loading

Each service's internal_demo.py endpoint now loads data directly into its database, eliminating the need for:

• Kubernetes Jobs
• HTTP-based cloning
• External orchestration scripts

Example: services/orders/app/api/internal_demo.py

Key Features:

• ✅ Direct database inserts - No HTTP overhead
• ✅ Transaction safety - Atomic operations with rollback
• ✅ JSON seed data - Loaded from standardized files
• ✅ Shared utilities - Consistent transformation logic

2. Shared Utilities Library

Location: shared/utils/

Three critical utilities power the new architecture:

a) ID Transformation (demo_id_transformer.py)

Purpose: XOR-based deterministic ID transformation

from shared.utils.demo_id_transformer import transform_id

# Transform base ID with tenant ID for isolation
transformed_id = transform_id(base_id, virtual_tenant_id)

Benefits:

• ✅ Deterministic: Same base ID + tenant ID = same result
• ✅ Isolated: Different tenants get different IDs
• ✅ Consistent: Cross-service relationships preserved

b) Temporal Adjustment (demo_dates.py)

Purpose: Dynamic date adjustment relative to session creation

from shared.utils.demo_dates import adjust_date_for_demo, resolve_time_marker

# Adjust static seed dates to session time
adjusted_date = adjust_date_for_demo(original_date, session_created_at)

# Support BASE_TS markers for edge cases
delivery_time = resolve_time_marker("BASE_TS + 2h30m", session_created_at)

Benefits:

• ✅ Temporal determinism: Data always appears recent
• ✅ Edge case support: Create late deliveries, overdue batches
• ✅ Workday handling: Skip weekends automatically

c) Seed Data Paths (seed_data_paths.py)

Purpose: Unified seed data file location

from shared.utils.seed_data_paths import get_seed_data_path

# Find seed data across multiple locations
json_file = get_seed_data_path("professional", "08-orders.json")

Benefits:

• ✅ Fallback support: Multiple search locations
• ✅ Enterprise profiles: Handle parent/child structure
• ✅ Clear errors: Helpful messages when files missing

3. Data Loading Flow

The demo session creation follows this sequence:

graph TD
    A[Create Demo Session] --> B[Load JSON Seed Data]
    B --> C[Transform IDs with XOR]
    C --> D[Adjust Dates to Session Time]
    D --> E[Insert into Service Databases]
    E --> F[Return Demo Credentials]

    C --> C1[Base ID + Tenant ID]
    C1 --> C2[XOR Operation]
    C2 --> C3[Unique Virtual ID]

    D --> D1[Original Seed Date]
    D1 --> D2[Calculate Offset]
    D2 --> D3[Apply to Session Time]

Key Steps:

1. Session Creation: Generate virtual tenant ID
2. Seed Data Loading: Read JSON files from infrastructure/seed-data/
3. ID Transformation: Apply XOR to all entity IDs
4. Temporal Adjustment: Shift all dates relative to session creation
5. Database Insertion: Direct inserts into service databases
6. Response: Return login credentials and session info

Implementation Example

Here's how the Orders service implements direct loading:

from shared.utils.demo_id_transformer import transform_id
from shared.utils.demo_dates import adjust_date_for_demo, resolve_time_marker
from shared.utils.seed_data_paths import get_seed_data_path

@router.post("/clone")
async def clone_demo_data(
    virtual_tenant_id: str,
    demo_account_type: str,
    session_created_at: str,
    db: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db)
):
    # 1. Load seed data
    json_file = get_seed_data_path(demo_account_type, "08-orders.json")
    with open(json_file, 'r') as f:
        seed_data = json.load(f)

    # 2. Parse session time
    session_time = datetime.fromisoformat(session_created_at)

    # 3. Clone with transformations
    for customer_data in seed_data['customers']:
        # Transform IDs
        transformed_id = transform_id(customer_data['id'], virtual_tenant_id)

        # Adjust dates
        last_order = adjust_date_for_demo(
            customer_data.get('last_order_date'),
            session_time
        )

        # Insert into database
        new_customer = Customer(
            id=transformed_id,
            tenant_id=virtual_tenant_id,
            last_order_date=last_order,
            ...
        )
        db.add(new_customer)

    await db.commit()

🚀 Key Technical Innovations

1. XOR-Based ID Transformation

Problem: Need unique IDs per virtual tenant while maintaining cross-service relationships

Solution: XOR operation between base ID and tenant ID

def transform_id(base_id: UUID, tenant_id: UUID) -> UUID:
    base_bytes = base_id.bytes
    tenant_bytes = tenant_id.bytes
    transformed_bytes = bytes(b1 ^ b2 for b1, b2 in zip(base_bytes, tenant_bytes))
    return UUID(bytes=transformed_bytes)

Benefits:

• ✅ Deterministic: Same inputs always produce same output
• ✅ Reversible: Can recover original IDs if needed
• ✅ Collision-resistant: Different tenants = different IDs
• ✅ Fast: Simple bitwise operation

2. Temporal Determinism

Problem: Static seed data dates become stale over time

Solution: Dynamic date adjustment relative to session creation

def adjust_date_for_demo(original_date: datetime, session_time: datetime) -> datetime:
    offset = original_date - BASE_REFERENCE_DATE
    return session_time + offset

Benefits:

• ✅ Always fresh: Data appears recent regardless of when session created
• ✅ Maintains relationships: Time intervals between events preserved
• ✅ Edge case support: Can create "late deliveries" and "overdue batches"
• ✅ Workday-aware: Automatically skips weekends

3. BASE_TS Markers

Problem: Need precise control over edge cases (late deliveries, overdue items)

Solution: Time markers in seed data

{
  "delivery_date": "BASE_TS + 2h30m",
  "order_date": "BASE_TS - 4h"
}

Supported formats:

• BASE_TS + 1h30m - 1 hour 30 minutes ahead
• BASE_TS - 2d - 2 days ago
• BASE_TS + 0.5d - 12 hours ahead
• BASE_TS - 1h45m - 1 hour 45 minutes ago

Benefits:

• ✅ Precise control: Exact timing for demo scenarios
• ✅ Readable: Human-friendly format
• ✅ Flexible: Supports hours, minutes, days, decimals

🔄 How It Works: Complete Flow

Step-by-Step Demo Session Creation

1. User Request: Frontend calls /api/v1/demo/sessions with demo type
2. Session Setup: Demo Session Service:
   • Generates virtual tenant UUID
   • Records session metadata (session_id, ip_address, user_agent)
   • Calculates session creation timestamp and expiration
   • For enterprise: Generates child tenant IDs
3. Parallel Service Calls: Demo Session Service calls each service's /internal/demo/clone endpoint with:
   • virtual_tenant_id - Virtual tenant UUID
   • demo_account_type - Profile (professional/enterprise)
   • session_created_at - Session timestamp for temporal adjustment
4. Per-Service Loading: Each service:
   • Loads JSON seed data for its domain
   • Transforms all IDs using XOR with virtual tenant ID
   • Adjusts all dates relative to session creation time
   • Inserts data into its database within a transaction
   • Returns success/failure status with record count
5. Status Tracking: Per-service progress stored in JSONB field with timestamps and error details
6. Response: Demo Session Service returns credentials and session info
7. Frontend Polling: Frontend polls /api/v1/demo/sessions/{session_id}/status until status is READY or FAILED

Example: Orders Service Clone Endpoint

@router.post("/internal/demo/clone")
async def clone_demo_data(
    virtual_tenant_id: str,
    demo_account_type: str,
    session_created_at: str,
    db: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db)
):
    try:
        # Parse session time
        session_time = datetime.fromisoformat(session_created_at)

        # Load seed data
        json_file = get_seed_data_path(demo_account_type, "08-orders.json")
        with open(json_file, 'r') as f:
            seed_data = json.load(f)

        # Clone customers
        for customer_data in seed_data['customers']:
            transformed_id = transform_id(customer_data['id'], virtual_tenant_id)
            last_order = adjust_date_for_demo(
                customer_data.get('last_order_date'),
                session_time
            )

            new_customer = Customer(
                id=transformed_id,
                tenant_id=virtual_tenant_id,
                last_order_date=last_order,
                ...
            )
            db.add(new_customer)

        # Clone orders with BASE_TS marker support
        for order_data in seed_data['customer_orders']:
            transformed_id = transform_id(order_data['id'], virtual_tenant_id)
            customer_id = transform_id(order_data['customer_id'], virtual_tenant_id)

            # Handle BASE_TS markers for precise timing
            delivery_date = resolve_time_marker(
                order_data.get('delivery_date', 'BASE_TS + 2h'),
                session_time
            )

            new_order = CustomerOrder(
                id=transformed_id,
                tenant_id=virtual_tenant_id,
                customer_id=customer_id,
                requested_delivery_date=delivery_date,
                ...
            )
            db.add(new_order)

        await db.commit()
        return {"status": "completed", "records_cloned": total}

    except Exception as e:
        await db.rollback()
        return {"status": "failed", "error": str(e)}

📊 Monitoring and Troubleshooting

Service Logs

Each service's demo cloning endpoint logs structured data:

# View orders service demo logs
kubectl logs -n bakery-ia -l app=orders-service | grep "demo"

# View all demo session creations
kubectl logs -n bakery-ia -l app=demo-session-service | grep "cloning"

# Check specific session
kubectl logs -n bakery-ia -l app=demo-session-service | grep "session_id=<uuid>"

Common Issues

Issue	Solution
Seed file not found	Check seed_data_paths.py search locations, verify file exists
ID transformation errors	Ensure all IDs in seed data are valid UUIDs
Date parsing errors	Verify BASE_TS marker format, check ISO 8601 compliance
Transaction rollback	Check database constraints, review service logs for details
Slow session creation	Check network latency to databases, review parallel call performance

🎓 Best Practices

Adding New Seed Data

1. Update JSON files in infrastructure/seed-data/
2. Use valid UUIDs for all entity IDs
3. Use BASE_TS markers for time-sensitive data:

   {
     "delivery_date": "BASE_TS + 2h30m",  // For edge cases
     "order_date": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z"  // Or ISO 8601 for general dates
   }
   

4. Validate data with validator.py --profile <profile> --strict
5. Test locally with Tilt before committing

Implementing Service Cloning

When adding demo support to a new service:

1. Create internal_demo.py in app/api/
2. Import shared utilities:

   from shared.utils.demo_id_transformer import transform_id
   from shared.utils.demo_dates import adjust_date_for_demo, resolve_time_marker
   from shared.utils.seed_data_paths import get_seed_data_path
   

3. Load JSON seed data for your service
4. Transform all IDs using transform_id()
5. Adjust all dates using adjust_date_for_demo() or resolve_time_marker()
6. Handle cross-service refs - transform foreign key UUIDs too
7. Use transactions - commit on success, rollback on error
8. Return structured response:

   return {
       "service": "your-service",
       "status": "completed",
       "records_cloned": count,
       "duration_ms": elapsed
   }

🔧 Technical Details

XOR ID Transformation Details

The XOR-based transformation provides mathematical guarantees:

# Property 1: Deterministic
transform_id(base_id, tenant_A) == transform_id(base_id, tenant_A)  # Always true

# Property 2: Isolation
transform_id(base_id, tenant_A) != transform_id(base_id, tenant_B)  # Always true

# Property 3: Reversible
base_id == transform_id(transform_id(base_id, tenant), tenant)  # XOR is self-inverse

# Property 4: Preserves relationships
customer_id = transform_id(base_customer, tenant)
order_id = transform_id(base_order, tenant)
# Order's customer_id reference remains valid after transformation

Temporal Adjustment Algorithm

# Base reference date (seed data "day zero")
BASE_REFERENCE_DATE = datetime(2025, 1, 15, 6, 0, 0, tzinfo=timezone.utc)

# Session creation time
session_time = datetime(2025, 12, 14, 10, 30, 0, tzinfo=timezone.utc)

# Original seed date (BASE_REFERENCE + 3 days)
original_date = datetime(2025, 1, 18, 14, 0, 0, tzinfo=timezone.utc)

# Calculate offset from base
offset = original_date - BASE_REFERENCE_DATE  # 3 days, 8 hours

# Apply to session time
adjusted_date = session_time + offset  # 2025-12-17 18:30:00 UTC
# Result: Maintains the 3-day, 8-hour offset from session creation

Error Handling

Each service cloning endpoint uses transaction-safe error handling:

try:
    # Load and transform data
    for entity in seed_data:
        transformed = transform_entity(entity, virtual_tenant_id, session_time)
        db.add(transformed)

    # Atomic commit
    await db.commit()

    return {"status": "completed", "records_cloned": count}

except Exception as e:
    # Automatic rollback on any error
    await db.rollback()
    logger.error("Demo cloning failed", error=str(e), exc_info=True)

    return {"status": "failed", "error": str(e)}
