From 8675f9bf753b251aeca0d639da076a2df2549e0e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Phillip Tarrant Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2025 22:01:14 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] feat(api): add Redis session cache to reduce Appwrite API calls by ~90% MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - Add SessionCacheService with 5-minute TTL Redis cache - Cache validated sessions to avoid redundant Appwrite calls - Add /api/v1/auth/me endpoint for retrieving current user - Invalidate cache on logout and password reset - Add session_cache config to auth section (Redis db 2) - Fix Docker Redis hostname (localhost -> redis) - Handle timezone-aware datetime comparisons Security: tokens hashed before use as cache keys, explicit invalidation on logout/password change, graceful degradation when Redis unavailable. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- api/app/api/auth.py | 41 ++- api/app/config.py | 15 +- api/app/services/session_cache_service.py | 346 ++++++++++++++++++++++ api/app/utils/auth.py | 23 +- api/config/development.yaml | 10 +- api/config/production.yaml | 6 + api/docs/API_REFERENCE.md | 28 ++ 7 files changed, 462 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) create mode 100644 api/app/services/session_cache_service.py diff --git a/api/app/api/auth.py b/api/app/api/auth.py index 1fa737a..a8845c2 100644 --- a/api/app/api/auth.py +++ b/api/app/api/auth.py @@ -15,6 +15,7 @@ from flask import Blueprint, request, make_response, render_template, redirect, from appwrite.exception import AppwriteException from app.services.appwrite_service import AppwriteService +from app.services.session_cache_service import SessionCacheService from app.utils.response import ( success_response, created_response, @@ -305,7 +306,11 @@ def api_logout(): if not token: return unauthorized_response(message="No active session") - # Logout user + # Invalidate session cache before Appwrite logout + cache = SessionCacheService() + cache.invalidate_token(token) + + # Logout user from Appwrite appwrite = AppwriteService() appwrite.logout_user(session_id=token) @@ -340,6 +345,36 @@ def api_logout(): return error_response(message="An unexpected error occurred", code="INTERNAL_ERROR") +@auth_bp.route('/api/v1/auth/me', methods=['GET']) +@require_auth +def api_get_current_user(): + """ + Get the currently authenticated user's data. + + This endpoint is lightweight and uses cached session data when available, + making it suitable for frequent use (e.g., checking user tier, verifying + session is still valid). + + Returns: + 200: User data + 401: Not authenticated + """ + user = get_current_user() + + if not user: + return unauthorized_response(message="Not authenticated") + + return success_response( + result={ + "id": user.id, + "email": user.email, + "name": user.name, + "email_verified": user.email_verified, + "tier": user.tier + } + ) + + @auth_bp.route('/api/v1/auth/verify-email', methods=['GET']) def api_verify_email(): """ @@ -480,6 +515,10 @@ def api_reset_password(): appwrite = AppwriteService() appwrite.confirm_password_reset(user_id=user_id, secret=secret, password=password) + # Invalidate all cached sessions for this user (security: password changed) + cache = SessionCacheService() + cache.invalidate_user(user_id) + logger.info("Password reset successfully", user_id=user_id) return success_response( diff --git a/api/app/config.py b/api/app/config.py index 19cd411..8d00176 100644 --- a/api/app/config.py +++ b/api/app/config.py @@ -86,6 +86,14 @@ class RateLimitingConfig: tiers: Dict[str, RateLimitTier] = field(default_factory=dict) +@dataclass +class SessionCacheConfig: + """Session cache configuration for reducing Appwrite API calls.""" + enabled: bool = True + ttl_seconds: int = 300 # 5 minutes + redis_db: int = 2 # Separate from RQ (db 0) and rate limiting (db 1) + + @dataclass class AuthConfig: """Authentication configuration.""" @@ -104,6 +112,7 @@ class AuthConfig: name_min_length: int name_max_length: int email_max_length: int + session_cache: SessionCacheConfig = field(default_factory=SessionCacheConfig) @dataclass @@ -229,7 +238,11 @@ class Config: tiers=rate_limit_tiers ) - auth_config = AuthConfig(**config_data['auth']) + # Parse auth config with nested session_cache + auth_data = config_data['auth'].copy() + session_cache_data = auth_data.pop('session_cache', {}) + session_cache_config = SessionCacheConfig(**session_cache_data) if session_cache_data else SessionCacheConfig() + auth_config = AuthConfig(**auth_data, session_cache=session_cache_config) session_config = SessionConfig(**config_data['session']) marketplace_config = MarketplaceConfig(**config_data['marketplace']) cors_config = CORSConfig(**config_data['cors']) diff --git a/api/app/services/session_cache_service.py b/api/app/services/session_cache_service.py new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d47718b --- /dev/null +++ b/api/app/services/session_cache_service.py @@ -0,0 +1,346 @@ +""" +Session Cache Service + +This service provides Redis-based caching for authenticated sessions to reduce +Appwrite API calls.
