| 119 | +}); |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +socket.on('connected', (data) => { |
| 122 | + console.log('Connected to SubStream Protocol!'); |
| 123 | + console.log('Merchant ID:', data.merchantId); |
| 124 | +}); |

| 203 | +EXPOSE 3001 |
| 204 | + |
| 205 | +CMD ["node", "dist/main"] |
| 206 | +``` |
| 207 | + |
| 208 | +### Kubernetes Deployment |
| 209 | + |
| 210 | +```yaml |

| 236 | + name: jwt-secret |
| 237 | + key: secret |
| 238 | +``` |
| 239 | +
|
| 240 | +## Monitoring |
| 241 | +
|
| 242 | +### Metrics Available |
| 243 | +- Active connections per merchant |
| 244 | +- Events per second (EPS) |
| 245 | +- Connection duration statistics |
| 246 | +- Redis queue depth |
| 247 | +- Token expiration events |
| 248 | +- Error rates by type |
| 249 | +
|
| 250 | +### Health Check Response |
| 251 | +```json |
| 252 | +{ |
| 253 | + "status": "healthy", |
| 254 | + "timestamp": "2024-01-01T00:00:00.000Z", |
| 255 | + "version": "1.0.0", |
| 256 | + "services": { |
| 257 | + "websocket": "active", |
| 258 | + "redis": "connected", |
| 259 | + "authentication": "active" |
| 260 | + }, |
| 261 | + "metrics": { |
| 262 | + "activeConnections": 150, |
| 263 | + "eventsPerSecond": 45, |
| 264 | + "redisStatus": "ready" |
| 265 | + } |
| 266 | +} |
| 267 | +``` |
| 268 | + |
| 269 | +## Security Considerations |
| 270 | + |
| 271 | +### Token Validation |
| 272 | +- All connections require valid SEP-10 JWT tokens |
| 273 | +- Tokens are cryptographically verified using configured secret |
| 274 | +- Stellar public key extraction from `sub` claim |
| 275 | +- Automatic disconnection on token expiration |
| 276 | + |
| 277 | +### Room Isolation |
| 278 | +- Each merchant assigned to room named after their public key |
| 279 | +- Mathematical impossibility of cross-tenant data leakage |
| 280 | +- Events only routed to intended recipients |
| 281 | +- Room membership validated on each event |
| 282 | + |
| 283 | +### Rate Limiting |
| 284 | +- Connection limits per merchant and IP |
| 285 | +- Event rate limiting to prevent abuse |
| 286 | +- Burst capacity for legitimate high-volume events |
| 287 | +- Automatic throttling under load |
| 288 | + |
| 289 | +## Troubleshooting |
| 290 | + |
| 291 | +### Common Issues |
| 292 | + |
| 293 | +1. **Connection Rejected** |
| 294 | + - Verify JWT token format and validity |
| 295 | + - Check `sub` claim contains Stellar public key |
| 296 | + - Ensure token is not expired |
| 297 | + |
| 298 | +2. **Missing Events** |
| 299 | + - Verify Redis connectivity |
| 300 | + - Check merchant room assignment |
| 301 | + - Review event payload format |
| 302 | + |
| 303 | +3. **Performance Issues** |
| 304 | + - Monitor Redis memory usage |
| 305 | + - Check connection pool size |
| 306 | + - Review batch processing metrics |
| 307 | + |
| 308 | +### Debug Mode |
| 309 | +```bash |
| 310 | +DEBUG=socket.io:* npm run start:ws:dev |
