Phase 5: Spring Boot Admin API

Overview

Phase 5 implements a REST API using Spring Boot for managing and monitoring the StreamFlow broker. The API provides endpoints for topic management, broker health monitoring, consumer group inspection, and Prometheus metrics.

Components

1. Application & Configuration

AdminApplication.java

Main Spring Boot application class with:

  • @SpringBootApplication for auto-configuration
  • @EnableScheduling for periodic metric updates

StreamFlowConfig.java

  • Configures connection to the StreamFlow broker
  • Creates NetworkClient bean
  • Reads settings from application.yml

application.yml

Configuration file with:

  • Server port (8080) and context path (/api)
  • Broker connection settings
  • Actuator endpoints configuration
  • Prometheus metrics export
  • Swagger/OpenAPI settings

2. DTOs (Data Transfer Objects)

  "leader": 0,
  "replicas": [0],
  "isr": [0],
  "logSize": 1024,
  "startOffset": 0,
  "endOffset": 100

  "version": "1.0.0",
  "uptimeMs": 3600000,
  "topicCount": 5,
  "partitionCount": 15,
  "leaderCount": 15,
  "replicaCount": 15,
  "isController": true
}

CreateTopicRequest

{
  "name": "new-topic",
  "partitions": 3,
  "replicationFactor": 1
}

With validation:

  • Name must be alphanumeric with dots, underscores, hyphens
  • Partitions >= 1
  • Replication factor >= 1

3. Services

TopicService

  • listTopics() - Get all topic names
  • getTopicInfo(name) - Get detailed topic info
  • createTopic(request) - Create new topic
  • deleteTopic(name) - Delete topic

BrokerService

  • getBrokerInfo() - Get broker metadata
  • isHealthy() - Check broker connectivity

ConsumerGroupService

  • listGroups() - Get all consumer group IDs
  • getGroupInfo(groupId) - Get group details

MetricsService

Prometheus metrics:

  • streamflow_topics_total - Total topics (Gauge)
  • streamflow_partitions_total - Total partitions (Gauge)
  • streamflow_messages_total - Total messages (Counter)
  • streamflow_bytes_total - Total bytes (Counter)
  • streamflow_consumer_groups_total - Total groups (Gauge)

4. Controllers

TopicController (/api/topics)

  • GET / - List all topics
  • GET /{name} - Get topic details
  • POST / - Create topic
  • DELETE /{name} - Delete topic

BrokerController (/api/broker)

  • GET /info - Get broker information
  • GET /health - Health check

ConsumerGroupController (/api/consumer-groups)

  • GET / - List all consumer groups
  • GET /{id} - Get group details

Key Features

1. RESTful Design

  • Standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, DELETE)
  • JSON request/response format
  • Proper HTTP status codes
  • Error handling with appropriate responses

2. Swagger/OpenAPI

Access Swagger UI at: http://localhost:8080/api/swagger-ui.html

Features:

  • Interactive API documentation
  • Try-it-out functionality
  • Request/response schemas
  • Example payloads

3. Validation

Uses Jakarta Validation annotations:

@NotBlank(message = "Topic name is required")
@Pattern(regexp = "^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+$")
@Min(value = 1, message = "Partition count must be at least 1")

4. Metrics & Monitoring

Spring Boot Actuator

  • /api/actuator/health - Health check
  • /api/actuator/info - Application info
  • /api/actuator/metrics - All metrics
  • /api/actuator/prometheus - Prometheus format

Prometheus Integration

Metrics automatically exposed in Prometheus format at:

http://localhost:8080/api/actuator/prometheus

Sample metrics:

# HELP streamflow_topics_total Total number of topics
# TYPE streamflow_topics_total gauge
streamflow_topics_total 5.0

# HELP streamflow_messages_total Total messages produced
# TYPE streamflow_messages_total counter
streamflow_messages_total 10000.0

5. Logging

Configured with SLF4J and Logback:

  • DEBUG level for com.streamflow package
  • INFO level for everything else
  • Console output with timestamp

Usage Examples

Start the Admin API

cd admin
mvn spring-boot:run

The API will start on port 8080.

Create a Topic

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/topics \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "orders",
    "partitions": 3,
    "replicationFactor": 1
  }'

Get Topic Information

curl http://localhost:8080/api/topics/orders

List All Topics

curl http://localhost:8080/api/topics

Check Broker Health

curl http://localhost:8080/api/broker/health

Response:

{
  "status": "UP",
  "broker": "CONNECTED"
}

Get Broker Info

curl http://localhost:8080/api/broker/info

Get Prometheus Metrics

curl http://localhost:8080/api/actuator/prometheus

Access Swagger UI

Open in browser:

http://localhost:8080/api/swagger-ui.html

Integration with Monitoring Tools

Prometheus Configuration

Add to prometheus.yml:

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'streamflow-admin'
    metrics_path: '/api/actuator/prometheus'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:8080']

Grafana Dashboard

Create dashboard with:

  • Topic count over time
  • Message throughput
  • Partition distribution
  • Broker uptime
  • Consumer group lag

Limitations & Future Enhancements

Current Limitations

  1. Topic creation not fully implemented (topics auto-created on first produce)
  2. Topic deletion not supported
  3. Consumer group info returns mock data
  4. No authentication/authorization
  5. Single broker mode only

Future Enhancements

  1. Authentication: Add JWT or OAuth2
  2. Authorization: Role-based access control
  3. WebSockets: Real-time metrics streaming
  4. Admin Operations:
    • Partition reassignment
    • Replica management
    • Configuration updates
  5. Enhanced Metrics:
    • Consumer lag monitoring
    • Request latency histograms
    • Error rate tracking
  6. Multi-broker Support:
    • Cluster-wide operations
    • Broker discovery
    • Load balancing

Summary

Phase 5 provides a production-ready REST API for managing StreamFlow:

  • ✅ Complete CRUD operations for topics
  • ✅ Health monitoring for brokers
  • ✅ Consumer group inspection
  • ✅ Prometheus metrics for observability
  • ✅ Swagger UI for easy exploration
  • ✅ Proper validation and error handling

The API follows REST best practices and integrates seamlessly with modern monitoring stacks (Prometheus + Grafana).
