krl-open-core 0.2.1

Shared foundation utilities for the KR-Labs analytics platform

KRL Open Core

Version: 0.1.0
License: MIT
Python: ≥3.9
Status: Production

SECTION A — Executive & Strategic Overview

What This Repository Does

KRL Open Core is the foundation library shared across all KRL packages. It provides:

1. Configuration Management — Environment variables and YAML config
2. Structured Logging — JSON-formatted logging with correlation IDs
3. Caching — File-based and Redis caching with TTL
4. API Client Base — Reusable HTTP client with retry logic
5. Utilities — Date parsing, validation, decorators

Why It Matters to the Business

This repository is infrastructure code. Every other KRL package depends on these utilities:

• Consistent logging across all services
• Shared configuration patterns
• Reusable caching layer
• Common HTTP client behavior

Current Maturity Level: PRODUCTION

Criterion	Status
Core utilities implemented	✅ Yes
Logging stable	✅ Yes
Caching stable	✅ Yes
Test coverage	⚠️ Not measured
PyPI published	⚠️ Not yet

Strategic Dependencies

• Upstream: None (this is the foundation)
• Downstream: All other KRL packages

Known Gaps

1. Not on PyPI — Manual installation required
2. Test coverage unknown — No coverage.xml found

How to Run

pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest tests/ -v

Usage Example

from krl_core.config import get_config
from krl_core.logging import get_logger
from krl_core.cache import Cache

# Configuration
config = get_config()

# Logging
logger = get_logger(__name__)
logger.info("Starting process", correlation_id="abc123")

# Caching
cache = Cache(backend="redis")
cache.set("key", "value", ttl=3600)
