Description

Geek Cafe Services is a production-ready, enterprise-grade library that provides reusable database services specifically designed for multi-tenant SaaS applications. Built on top of AWS DynamoDB, this library offers a prescriptive approach to building scalable, maintainable backend services with consistent patterns and best practices.

Why Geek Cafe Services?

🏗️ Consistent Architecture: All services follow the same proven patterns for CRUD operations, error handling, and access control
🔒 Multi-Tenant by Design: Built-in tenant isolation ensures secure data separation across customers
⚡ DynamoDB Optimized: Leverages DynamoDB's strengths with efficient GSI indexes and query patterns
🛡️ Production Ready: Comprehensive error handling, logging, pagination, and batch operations
🧪 Fully Tested: 100% test coverage with comprehensive test suites for reliability
📖 Well Documented: Extensive documentation with practical examples and best practices

Perfect For

SaaS Applications requiring multi-tenant data isolation
Serverless Architectures built on AWS Lambda and DynamoDB
Teams wanting consistent, proven patterns across services
Rapid Development with pre-built, tested service components

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/geekcafe/geek-cafe-services.git
cd geek-cafe-services

# Setup the development environment
./pysetup.sh

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

Quick Start

For Lambda Handlers (Recommended)

from geek_cafe_saas_sdk.lambda_handlers import create_handler
from geek_cafe_saas_sdk.modules.workflows.services import WorkflowService

# Module-level handler for connection pooling
handler_wrapper = create_handler(
    service_class=WorkflowService,
    convert_request_case=True,   # camelCase → snake_case
    convert_response_case=True   # snake_case → camelCase
)

def lambda_handler(event, context, injected_service=None):
    return handler_wrapper.execute(event, context, business_logic, injected_service)

def business_logic(event, service):
    # Your business logic - security and case conversion are automatic!
    body = event.get("parsed_body") or {}
    result = service.create(**body)
    return {"execution_id": result.data.id, "status": "created"}

For Direct Service Usage

from geek_cafe_saas_sdk.modules.messaging.services import MessageService
from geek_cafe_saas_sdk.core import AnonymousContextFactory

# Create request context
context = AnonymousContextFactory.create_test_context(
    user_id='user_123',
    tenant_id='tenant_456'
)

# Initialize service with context
service = MessageService(request_context=context)

# Create a message - security is automatic!
result = service.create(
    type="notification",
    content={"title": "Welcome!", "body": "Thanks for joining."}
)

if result.success:
    print(f"Created message: {result.data.id}")

📖 Complete Quick Start Guide

Available Services

🚀 Lambda Handler Wrappers (NEW in v0.2.0)

Purpose: Eliminate 70-80% of boilerplate code in AWS Lambda functions

Key Capabilities:

✅ Automatic API key validation from environment
✅ Request body parsing and camelCase → snake_case conversion
✅ Service initialization with connection pooling for warm starts
✅ Built-in CORS and error handling
✅ User context extraction from authorizers
✅ Service injection for easy testing
✅ Support for public and secured endpoints

Available Handlers:

ApiKeyLambdaHandler - API key validation (most common)
PublicLambdaHandler - No authentication (config endpoints)
BaseLambdaHandler - Extensible base for custom handlers

Quick Example:

from geek_cafe_saas_sdk.lambda_handlers import ApiKeyLambdaHandler
from geek_cafe_saas_sdk.vote_service import VoteService

# All boilerplate handled in 3 lines
handler = ApiKeyLambdaHandler(
    service_class=VoteService,
    require_body=True,
    convert_case=True
)

def lambda_handler(event, context):
    return handler.execute(event, context, create_vote)

def create_vote(event, service, user_context):
    # Just your business logic - everything else is handled!
    payload = event["parsed_body"]  # Already parsed & converted
    return service.create_vote(
        tenant_id=user_context.get("tenant_id", "anonymous"),
        user_id=user_context.get("user_id", "anonymous"),
        **payload
    )

Use Cases: Any AWS Lambda function with API key auth, reducing code by 70-80% while maintaining all functionality

📖 Complete Lambda Handlers Documentation

📧 MessageService

Purpose: Complete message and notification management system

Key Capabilities:

Use Cases: User notifications, system alerts, communication logs, announcement management

🗳️ Voting Services Suite

Purpose: Complete voting and rating system with real-time aggregation

Architecture: Three interconnected services working together:

VoteService

✅ Individual vote management with automatic upsert behavior
✅ One vote per user per target enforcement
✅ Support for up/down votes or custom vote types
✅ Comprehensive querying by user, target, and tenant

VoteSummaryService

✅ Pre-calculated vote totals for instant retrieval
✅ Target-based optimization for high-performance lookups
✅ Metadata tracking (last tallied timestamp, vote counts)
✅ Tenant-scoped summary management

VoteTallyService

✅ Intelligent vote aggregation with pagination support
✅ Batch processing for multiple targets
✅ Stale target detection and automated re-tallying
✅ Comprehensive error handling and resilience

Use Cases: Product ratings, content voting, feedback systems, community polls, recommendation engines
