Patbond API

Patbond API is a Spring Boot multi-module backend.

Modules

• patbond-common: stable cross-module contracts (response wrapper, shared DTOs). No web/messaging dependencies.
• patbond-user: user service for user creation, profile lookup, and password verification.
• patbond-auth: authentication service for registration and login. Calls patbond-user over HTTP via OpenFeign with a configured static URL (no service discovery in the MVP, see ADR-002).

Technology Stack

• Java 17 (build baseline; use JDK 17 for release builds)
• Spring Boot 3.5.16
• Spring Cloud 2025.0.3 (OpenFeign only)
• PostgreSQL 18 + Flyway (patbond-user owns the identity/media schemas)
• Maven (use the committed Maven Wrapper ./mvnw)

Build and Test

./mvnw clean test

Integration tests start a disposable postgres:18 via Testcontainers, so a running Docker daemon is required (no local PostgreSQL installation or credentials are needed).

If your default JDK is not 17, point JAVA_HOME at a JDK 17 installation first, e.g.:

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk ./mvnw clean test

Run

Running patbond-user requires a reachable PostgreSQL 18 database; Flyway applies the versioned migrations in patbond-user/src/main/resources/db/migration automatically on startup. Development seed data (db/dev, regions reference rows) is opt-in via a dev profile — see application.yml.sample.

Each service ships a committed application.yml.sample; the real application.yml is git-ignored. First copy the samples (defaults work locally, overrides via environment variables):

cp patbond-user/src/main/resources/application.yml.sample \
  patbond-user/src/main/resources/application.yml
cp patbond-auth/src/main/resources/application.yml.sample \
  patbond-auth/src/main/resources/application.yml

Install the shared module once, then run each service in its own terminal:

./mvnw -pl patbond-common install
./mvnw -pl patbond-user spring-boot:run
./mvnw -pl patbond-auth spring-boot:run

Running the services also needs an RS256 key pair for access tokens (the private key signs in patbond-auth, the public key verifies in patbond-user; neither is committed):

openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048 -out jwt-private.pem
openssl pkey -in jwt-private.pem -pubout -out jwt-public.pem
export PATBOND_JWT_PRIVATE_KEY=$PWD/jwt-private.pem   # patbond-auth
export PATBOND_JWT_PUBLIC_KEY=$PWD/jwt-public.pem     # patbond-user

Tests do not require this copy step — patbond-auth/src/test/resources/application.yml keeps ./mvnw clean test self-contained on a clean checkout.

Smoke check:

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8081/api/v1/auth/register \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"username":"demo_user","password":"secret123"}'

Configuration

Environment variable	Default	Used by
PATBOND_USER_PORT	8082	patbond-user
PATBOND_AUTH_PORT	8081	patbond-auth
PATBOND_USER_SERVICE_URL	http://127.0.0.1:8082	patbond-auth (Feign target for patbond-user)
PATBOND_DB_URL	jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/patbond	patbond-user
PATBOND_DB_USER	patbond	patbond-user
PATBOND_DB_PASSWORD	patbond	patbond-user
PATBOND_INTERNAL_TOKEN	dev-only-internal-token	both (shared secret for /internal/**; inject a strong random value outside local dev)
PATBOND_JWT_PRIVATE_KEY	(none, required)	patbond-auth (RS256 private key: PEM path or inline PEM)
PATBOND_JWT_PUBLIC_KEY	(none)	patbond-user (RS256 public key: PEM path or inline PEM)
PATBOND_ACCESS_TTL	15m	patbond-auth (access token lifetime, ADR-003)
PATBOND_REFRESH_TTL	30d	patbond-user (refresh token lifetime, ADR-003)
PATBOND_LOGIN_LOCK_MAX_FAILURES	5	patbond-user (login failures before lockout)
PATBOND_LOGIN_LOCK_WINDOW	15m	patbond-user (failure counting window)
PATBOND_LOGIN_LOCK_DURATION	15m	patbond-user (lock duration)

Machine-specific values live in the git-ignored application.yml (copied from the committed .sample); never commit secrets to the samples.

Services

Auth Service

• Application name: patbond-auth
• Default port: 8081
• Register: POST /api/v1/auth/register
• Login: POST /api/v1/auth/login
• Refresh (rotates the refresh token): POST /api/v1/auth/refresh
• Logout (revokes the current session): POST /api/v1/auth/logout

User Service

• Application name: patbond-user
• Default port: 8082
• Current user profile: GET /api/v1/me (Bearer access token, verified locally with the RS256 public key)
• Internal (require X-Internal-Token):
  • Create user: POST /internal/users
  • Verify password: POST /internal/users/verify-password
  • Get user by id: GET /internal/users/{id}
  • Get user by username: GET /internal/users/by-username/{username}
  • Sessions: POST /internal/sessions, POST /internal/sessions/refresh, POST /internal/sessions/revoke

Note: user data is persisted in PostgreSQL (identity.users / identity.user_credentials, bcrypt password hashes, UUIDv7 ids generated in the application). Refresh sessions live in identity.auth_sessions (SHA-256 digests only, rotation on every refresh, token-family revocation on reuse, ADR-003). Errors follow the {code, message, data} envelope with stable business codes and matching HTTP statuses; the public contract is documented in patbond-doc/docs/api/openapi.yaml.
