Overview

This pull request introduces a robust, production-grade database migration system for EventGate using Flyway, and updates the CI workflow to automatically detect and handle database schema changes. It migrates the schema definitions from Python test fixtures to versioned SQL migrations, establishes clear role-based access, and ensures integration tests run with the latest schema. Additionally, it improves type hints for boto3 clients and minor utility code.

Release Notes

  • Added Flyway-based database migrations for schema, roles, and grants, replacing manual/ad-hoc database setup with a version-controlled, repeatable process.
  • Tightened database access control by scoping owner/writer/reader role permissions to explicit tables and sequences, and updated CI to run migrations and integration tests automatically on database changes.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds Flyway configuration and PostgreSQL migrations for schemas, roles, and grants. Integration fixtures and tests execute migrations, validate baselines, and verify role permissions. CI detects database changes and runs Flyway-backed integration tests.

Changes

Database migration lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Flyway configuration and database migrations
flyway.toml, database/migrations/*, database/README.md
Flyway configuration, database bootstrap DDL, roles, initial schema, grants, and migration documentation were added.
Integration migration execution and baseline validation
tests/integration/conftest.py, tests/integration/test_baseline_migration.py
Integration setup now runs Flyway. Baseline tests verify legacy data preservation and baseline version 1.4.0.0.
Database role permission validation
tests/integration/test_db_roles.py
Integration tests verify reader, writer, and owner permissions.
CI database change detection and execution
.github/workflows/quality_gates.yml
The workflow detects database changes, installs Java 21 and Flyway 13.3.0, and runs integration tests for Python or database changes.
Python compatibility maintenance
src/utils/config_loader.py, src/writers/writer_eventbridge.py
S3 loading steps were separated. The EventBridge client annotation now uses Optional[Any].

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 0f428

This PR changes database initialization and access-control defaults. Automatic baselining can accept the wrong or incompatible existing schema, existing roles may retain elevated privileges, and PUBLIC may keep CREATE on the shared schema, creating security and deployment risks that should be fixed before merge.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with migrations to chase,
Flyway hops neatly from place to place.
Roles guard tables, tests check the gate,
CI finds changes before they wait.
Squeak, merge, and burrow with care!

I used a tdd for implementing this feature. I dont know how I feel about having integration test for test_baseline_migration.py. Is it something we want to test over and over again in the integration testS?

16-97: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Use a Flyway baseline migration for the initial schema.

Because baselineOnMigrate records 1.4.0.0 for an adopted database, Flyway applies V1.4.0.1, V1.4.0.2, and V1.4.0.3. V1.4.0.2 uses CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS, so existing tables with incompatible definitions are accepted without schema validation.

Rename the file to B1.4.0.0__initial_schema.ddl. Keep the role and grant migrations above 1.4.0.0. Update database/README.md to use the new filename. This applies the initial schema to new databases and excludes it from adopted databases.

Isn't test_baseline_migration.py unnecessary duplicity? DDLs live elsewhere, if we want to load the DB with its structures into a integration test, we can leverage Flyway there, and we do not need to test Flyway itself

I believe yes, this baselineOnMigrate is run only on the first migration on existing DB I think

It was previously tested by the test_baseline_migration.py integration test, which is now deleted.

Right now it is really just about our judgment. We can keep it, because it is defensive and transparent. It kicks only when the target database has no flyway_schema_history. After it is skipped everytime.

It should stay like it is set in the flyway.toml. baselineOnMigrate = true kicks only when the target database has no flyway_schema_history - so for the first time. After it is skipped every time. Or we update the READMe section to set the baselineOnMigrate only once it is done by human and do not care about this configuraiton.

Exactly, now it makes sense but later it won't.

So this piece of content of this file is there for the first-run only (that will be manual & CLI driven anyway), after that there is no point in having it (what's not used is dead code / liability, leading t oconfussion).

So maybe you can just remove it and keep for the CLI command that will be executed ?

we will have this on UAT and PROD. I think that it was part of PoC but we don't really need it anymore. If we wanna test, we have DEV env.

What do you think @oto-macenauer, any idea where/how we could use it and thus keep it here?

The test topic is meant for smoke tests, so whenever deployment happens it should try to put data here in this topic and read it using SQS, that should do for some basic functionality test. I didn't want to pollute PROD tables and queues so that's why I've added these test topics.

Performing smoke tests against PROD in isolated topic can be a good idea, but then part of real, live, production thing, is for tests purposes only. I am not really sure what is the best practice, there are trade-offs involved. What do you think, @miroslavpojer ?

Running Smoke test on PROD is RISKY.
If we need some After-Deployment test - we can define it and then protect its changes.

  • It can contains read-only tests - should be ok - multiple reviewers have to approve it.
  • If some write test is also needed, it should be implemented just for PROD, again multiple reviewers.
    • Here I would allow duplicates of tests and define a well - in source code documented process, where each test step have to be documented if it is still valid and not harm the current version.

Again:

  • auto tests on PROD - RISKY!
  • auto tests with write tests on PROD - SUPER RISKY! (in future as people forgot)

I think that this topic and thus this table is not really used. I don't even know what its responsibility should be :D

I checked DEV and PROD content of these table - empty!

If yes, should we clean it here? @oto-macenauer I would appreciate your opinion also, because you might know more than I
