| 3 | +## Overview |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +The API integrations feature will enhance the existing AI provider system by implementing robust, production-ready integrations with multiple AI services. The design builds upon the current provider abstraction layer while adding comprehensive error handling, failover mechanisms, rate limiting, and monitoring capabilities. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +The system will maintain the existing `AIProvider` interface while extending it with additional capabilities for configuration management, health monitoring, and advanced error recovery. This ensures backward compatibility while providing the reliability needed for production use. |

| 39 | +### Core Components |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +1. **AI Service Manager**: Central orchestrator that manages provider selection, failover, and request routing |
| 42 | +2. **Configuration Manager**: Handles provider configurations, API keys, and runtime settings |
| 43 | +3. **Provider Registry**: Maintains available providers and their health status |
| 44 | +4. **Health Monitor**: Continuously monitors provider availability and performance |
| 45 | +5. **Rate Limiter**: Manages request throttling and quota enforcement |
| 46 | +6. **Enhanced Provider Clients**: Improved implementations with retry logic and error handling |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +## Components and Interfaces |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +### Enhanced AIProvider Interface |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +```typescript |
| 53 | +interface AIProvider { |
| 54 | + name: string; |
| 55 | + isAvailable(): Promise<boolean>; |
| 56 | + getHealthStatus(): ProviderHealthStatus; |
| 57 | + generateExplanation(request: ExplanationRequest): Promise<ExplanationResponse>; |
| 58 | + validateConfiguration(): boolean; |
| 59 | +} |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +interface ExplanationRequest { |
| 62 | + question: string; |
| 63 | + correctAnswers: string[]; |
| 64 | + apiKey?: string; |
| 65 | + options?: RequestOptions; |
| 66 | +} |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +interface ExplanationResponse { |
| 69 | + explanation: string; |
| 70 | + provider: string; |
| 71 | + metadata: ResponseMetadata; |
| 72 | +} |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +interface ProviderHealthStatus { |
| 75 | + isHealthy: boolean; |
| 76 | + lastChecked: Date; |
| 77 | + responseTime: number; |
| 78 | + errorRate: number; |
| 79 | + rateLimitStatus: RateLimitInfo; |
| 80 | +} |
| 81 | +``` |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +### Configuration Management |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +```typescript |
| 86 | +interface ProviderConfig { |
| 87 | + name: string; |
| 88 | + enabled: boolean; |
| 89 | + priority: number; |
| 90 | + apiKey?: string; |
| 91 | + baseUrl?: string; |
| 92 | + timeout: number; |
| 93 | + retryAttempts: number; |
| 94 | + rateLimits: RateLimitConfig; |
| 95 | +} |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +interface RateLimitConfig { |
| 98 | + requestsPerMinute: number; |
| 99 | + requestsPerHour: number; |
| 100 | + requestsPerDay: number; |
| 101 | + burstLimit: number; |
| 102 | +} |
| 103 | +``` |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +### AI Service Manager |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +The central service manager will implement intelligent provider selection and failover: |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +```typescript |
| 110 | +class AIServiceManager { |
| 111 | + private providers: Map<string, AIProvider>; |
| 112 | + private healthMonitor: HealthMonitor; |
| 113 | + private rateLimiter: RateLimiter; |
| 114 | + private configManager: ConfigurationManager; |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | + async generateExplanation(request: ExplanationRequest): Promise<ExplanationResponse> { |
| 117 | + const availableProviders = await this.getAvailableProviders(); |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | + for (const provider of availableProviders) { |
| 120 | + try { |
| 121 | + if (await this.rateLimiter.canMakeRequest(provider.name)) { |
| 122 | + const response = await provider.generateExplanation(request); |
| 123 | + await this.recordSuccess(provider.name); |
| 124 | + return response; |
| 125 | + } |
| 126 | + } catch (error) { |
| 127 | + await this.recordFailure(provider.name, error); |
| 128 | + continue; // Try next provider |
| 129 | + } |
| 130 | + } |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | + throw new Error('All providers unavailable'); |
| 133 | + } |
| 134 | +} |
| 135 | +``` |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +## Data Models |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +### Request/Response Models |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +```typescript |
| 142 | +interface StandardizedRequest { |
| 143 | + question: string; |
| 144 | + correctAnswers: string[]; |
| 145 | + context?: string; |
| 146 | + maxTokens?: number; |
| 147 | + temperature?: number; |
| 148 | + timeout?: number; |
| 149 | +} |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +interface StandardizedResponse { |
| 152 | + explanation: string; |
| 153 | + provider: string; |
| 154 | + processingTime: number; |
| 155 | + tokensUsed?: number; |
| 156 | + confidence?: number; |
| 157 | + metadata: { |
| 158 | + requestId: string; |
| 159 | + timestamp: Date; |
| 160 | + model?: string; |
| 161 | + version?: string; |
| 162 | + }; |
| 163 | +} |
| 164 | +``` |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +### Provider-Specific Adapters |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | +Each provider will have an adapter that translates between the standardized format and provider-specific APIs: |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | +```typescript |
| 171 | +abstract class BaseProviderAdapter implements AIProvider { |
| 172 | + protected config: ProviderConfig; |
| 173 | + protected httpClient: HttpClient; |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | + abstract transformRequest(request: StandardizedRequest): any; |
| 176 | + abstract transformResponse(response: any): StandardizedResponse; |
| 177 | + abstract validateApiKey(apiKey: string): boolean; |
| 178 | +} |
| 179 | +``` |
| 180 | + |
| 181 | +## Error Handling |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +### Error Classification |
| 184 | + |
| 185 | +```typescript |
| 186 | +enum ErrorType { |
| 187 | + AUTHENTICATION = 'authentication', |
| 188 | + RATE_LIMIT = 'rate_limit', |
| 189 | + NETWORK = 'network', |
| 190 | + VALIDATION = 'validation', |
| 191 | + PROVIDER_ERROR = 'provider_error', |
| 192 | + TIMEOUT = 'timeout' |
| 193 | +} |
| 194 | + |
| 195 | +interface APIError { |
| 196 | + type: ErrorType; |
| 197 | + message: string; |
| 198 | + provider: string; |
| 199 | + retryable: boolean; |
| 200 | + retryAfter?: number; |
| 201 | + originalError?: any; |
| 202 | +} |
| 203 | +``` |
| 204 | + |
| 205 | +### Retry Strategy |
| 206 | + |
| 207 | +```typescript |
| 208 | +class RetryStrategy { |
| 209 | + async executeWithRetry<T>( |
| 210 | + operation: () => Promise<T>, |
| 211 | + config: RetryConfig |
| 212 | + ): Promise<T> { |
| 213 | + let lastError: Error; |
| 214 | + |
| 215 | + for (let attempt = 1; attempt <= config.maxAttempts; attempt++) { |
| 216 | + try { |
| 217 | + return await operation(); |
| 218 | + } catch (error) { |
| 219 | + lastError = error; |
| 220 | + |
| 221 | + if (!this.isRetryable(error) || attempt === config.maxAttempts) { |
| 222 | + throw error; |
| 223 | + } |
| 224 | + |
| 225 | + const delay = this.calculateBackoff(attempt, config); |
| 226 | + await this.sleep(delay); |
| 227 | + } |
| 228 | + } |
| 229 | + |
| 230 | + throw lastError; |
| 231 | + } |
| 232 | +} |
| 233 | +``` |
| 234 | + |
| 235 | +### Circuit Breaker Pattern |
| 236 | + |
| 237 | +```typescript |
| 238 | +class CircuitBreaker { |
| 239 | + private state: 'CLOSED' | 'OPEN' | 'HALF_OPEN' = 'CLOSED'; |
| 240 | + private failureCount = 0; |
| 241 | + private lastFailureTime?: Date; |
| 242 | + |
| 243 | + async execute<T>(operation: () => Promise<T>): Promise<T> { |
| 244 | + if (this.state === 'OPEN') { |
| 245 | + if (this.shouldAttemptReset()) { |
| 246 | + this.state = 'HALF_OPEN'; |
| 247 | + } else { |
| 248 | + throw new Error('Circuit breaker is OPEN'); |
| 249 | + } |
| 250 | + } |
| 251 | + |
| 252 | + try { |
| 253 | + const result = await operation(); |
| 254 | + this.onSuccess(); |
| 255 | + return result; |
| 256 | + } catch (error) { |
| 257 | + this.onFailure(); |
| 258 | + throw error; |
| 259 | + } |
| 260 | + } |
| 261 | +} |
| 262 | +``` |
| 263 | + |
| 264 | +## Testing Strategy |
| 265 | + |
| 266 | +### Integration Testing Framework |
| 267 | + |
| 268 | +```typescript |
| 269 | +interface ProviderTestSuite { |
| 270 | + testConnectivity(): Promise<TestResult>; |
| 271 | + testAuthentication(): Promise<TestResult>; |
| 272 | + testRequestResponse(): Promise<TestResult>; |
| 273 | + testErrorHandling(): Promise<TestResult>; |
| 274 | + testRateLimiting(): Promise<TestResult>; |
| 275 | +} |
| 276 | + |
| 277 | +class AIProviderTester { |
| 278 | + async runFullTestSuite(provider: AIProvider): Promise<TestReport> { |
| 279 | + const results = await Promise.all([ |
| 280 | + this.testBasicFunctionality(provider), |
| 281 | + this.testErrorScenarios(provider), |
| 282 | + this.testPerformance(provider) |
| 283 | + ]); |
| 284 | + |
| 285 | + return this.generateReport(results); |
| 286 | + } |
| 287 | +} |
| 288 | +``` |
| 289 | + |
| 290 | +### Mock Provider for Testing |
| 291 | + |
| 292 | +```typescript |
| 293 | +class MockAIProvider implements AIProvider { |
| 294 | + private shouldFail = false; |
| 295 | + private responseDelay = 0; |
| 296 | + |
| 297 | + async generateExplanation(request: ExplanationRequest): Promise<ExplanationResponse> { |
| 298 | + if (this.shouldFail) { |
| 299 | + throw new Error('Mock provider failure'); |
| 300 | + } |
| 301 | + |
| 302 | + await this.sleep(this.responseDelay); |
| 303 | + |
| 304 | + return { |
| 305 | + explanation: `Mock explanation for: ${request.question}`, |
| 306 | + provider: 'mock', |
| 307 | + metadata: { |
| 308 | + requestId: 'mock-' + Date.now(), |
| 309 | + timestamp: new Date(), |
| 310 | + processingTime: this.responseDelay |
| 311 | + } |
| 312 | + }; |
| 313 | + } |
| 314 | +} |
| 315 | +``` |
| 316 | + |
| 317 | +### Performance Monitoring |
| 318 | + |
| 319 | +```typescript |
| 320 | +interface PerformanceMetrics { |
| 321 | + averageResponseTime: number; |
| 322 | + successRate: number; |
| 323 | + errorRate: number; |
| 324 | + throughput: number; |
| 325 | + p95ResponseTime: number; |
| 326 | + p99ResponseTime: number; |
| 327 | +} |
| 328 | + |
| 329 | +class MetricsCollector { |
| 330 | + async recordRequest(provider: string, duration: number, success: boolean): Promise<void> { |
| 331 | + // Record metrics for monitoring and alerting |
| 332 | + } |
| 333 | + |
| 334 | + async getProviderMetrics(provider: string, timeRange: TimeRange): Promise<PerformanceMetrics> { |
| 335 | + // Retrieve aggregated metrics |
| 336 | + } |
| 337 | +} |
| 338 | +``` |
| 339 | + |
| 340 | +## Security Considerations |
| 341 | + |
| 342 | +### API Key Management |
| 343 | + |
| 344 | +- API keys stored securely in environment variables |
| 345 | +- Key rotation support with graceful fallback |
| 346 | +- Validation of key formats before use |
| 347 | +- Audit logging of key usage |
| 348 | + |
| 349 | +### Request Validation |
| 350 | + |
| 351 | +- Input sanitization for all user-provided content |
| 352 | +- Request size limits to prevent abuse |
| 353 | +- Rate limiting per user/IP to prevent DoS |
| 354 | +- Response content filtering for safety |
| 355 | + |
| 356 | +### Data Privacy |
| 357 | + |
| 358 | +- No storage of user questions or AI responses |
| 359 | +- Minimal logging of request metadata |
| 360 | +- Compliance with data protection regulations |
| 361 | +- Secure transmission of all API communications |
| 362 | + |
| 363 | +## Deployment and Configuration |
| 364 | + |
| 365 | +### Environment Configuration |
| 366 | + |
| 367 | +```typescript |
| 368 | +interface DeploymentConfig { |
| 369 | + providers: { |
| 370 | + [key: string]: ProviderConfig; |
| 371 | + }; |
| 372 | + rateLimits: GlobalRateLimits; |
| 373 | + monitoring: MonitoringConfig; |
| 374 | + security: SecurityConfig; |
| 375 | +} |
| 376 | +``` |
| 377 | + |
| 378 | +### Health Checks |
| 379 | + |
| 380 | +- Endpoint for overall system health |
| 381 | +- Individual provider health status |
| 382 | +- Dependency health monitoring |
| 383 | +- Automated alerting on failures |
| 384 | + |
| 385 | +This design provides a robust, scalable foundation for API integrations while maintaining the simplicity of the existing interface. The modular architecture allows for easy addition of new providers and features while ensuring reliability and performance. |
