2023-10-01 23:33:42 +05:30
<p>As the development on <a href="https://docs.forgeflux.org/Northstar/">Northstar</a> nears the completion phase,
2023-10-01 23:14:58 +05:30
updates on it have slowed down, and the only updates that were made during this
stage mostly comprises of configuration updates.
These updates were mostly related to bootstrapping <a href="https://www.dynaconf.com/">DynaConf</a>,
as we embraced 12-factor app configuration recommendations, allowing for better
configuration management.</p>
<h2 id="interface">Interface</h2>
<p>Realising the need for validation of a request to an actor, an authentication
mechanism was developed to implement Matrix's <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/python-signedjson">signed JSON</a>
feature, but, was later replaced in favor of <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-cavage-http-signatures">HTTP Signatures</a>.</p>
<p>Interface underwent major refactoring to improve test-ability and reliability in addition
to implementing authentication by a <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/python-signedjson">signed JSON</a>
mechanism implemented by the Matrix project. Taking note of rate-limits imposed by some forges,
we figured we'd have to cache responses and so data persistence was implemented by way of
storing in a database.</p>
