Implement DevSecOps workflow rule logic in all components

Problem to solve

The current implementation contains only placeholder code. We need to implement the actual DevSecOps workflow rule logic that defines the core functionality of this custom rule system.

Proposal

Implement comprehensive DevSecOps workflow rule management across all three components:

Backend (C) - Rule Engine

  • Core Logic: Rule validation and processing engine
  • Data Structures: Define rule structures and validation logic
  • Performance: Optimized C implementation for rule evaluation
  • API: Expose rule processing functions to middleware

Middleware (Python) - API Layer

  • Rule Management: CRUD operations for workflow rules
  • Validation: Input validation and sanitization
  • Business Logic: Rule orchestration and workflow management
  • Integration: Connect frontend requests to backend processing

Frontend (Node.js) - User Interface

  • Rule Dashboard: Web interface for rule management
  • API Integration: Connect to middleware API endpoints
  • User Experience: Intuitive rule creation and management interface
  • Monitoring: Rule execution status and reporting

Acceptance Criteria

Backend Requirements

  • Define rule data structures (rule types, conditions, actions)
  • Implement rule validation engine
  • Create rule execution logic
  • Expose C API for middleware integration
  • Add logging and error handling

Middleware Requirements

  • Implement complete CRUD API for rules
  • Add rule validation and business logic
  • Create workflow orchestration endpoints
  • Add authentication and authorization
  • Implement rule execution tracking

Frontend Requirements

  • Create rule management dashboard
  • Implement rule creation/editing forms
  • Add rule execution monitoring
  • Create user-friendly rule visualization
  • Add responsive design for mobile access

Implementation Tasks

  1. Define Rule Schema

    • Design rule data structure
    • Define workflow trigger conditions
    • Specify rule actions and outcomes
    • Create validation rules

  2. Backend Implementation

    • Implement rule parsing and validation
    • Create rule execution engine
    • Add performance optimization
    • Implement C API interface

  3. Middleware Implementation

    • Create Flask API endpoints for rule management
    • Add database models for rule storage
    • Implement workflow orchestration logic
    • Add security and validation layers

  4. Frontend Implementation

    • Design and implement web dashboard
    • Create rule management interfaces
    • Add real-time monitoring capabilities
    • Implement user authentication flow

  5. Integration Testing

    • End-to-end workflow testing
    • Performance benchmarking
    • Security validation
    • User acceptance testing

Further details

This implementation should focus on:

  • Security: Secure rule execution and validation
  • Performance: Efficient rule processing at scale
  • Usability: Intuitive rule creation and management
  • Monitoring: Comprehensive logging and alerting
  • Compliance: Meet DevSecOps security standards

Example Rule Types

  • Code quality gates
  • Security scan requirements
  • Deployment approval workflows
  • Compliance validation rules
  • Automated remediation actions
