## What I Do
Provide guidance for developing and maintaining the crypto-scout-collector microservice, a Java 25 Maven application that consumes crypto market data from RabbitMQ Streams and persists to TimescaleDB.
## Core Components
### Modules
ActiveJ DI modules for separation of concerns:
```java
// CoreModule - reactor and virtual-thread executor
// WebModule - HTTP server with /health endpoint
// CollectorModule - DI wiring for repositories and services
```
### StreamService
Consumes from RabbitMQ Streams with database-backed offset management:
```java
// Subscribes to: crypto-scout-stream, bybit-stream
// External offset tracking in crypto_scout.stream_offsets
// Dispatches to: CryptoScoutService, BybitStreamService, AnalystService
```
### BybitStreamService
Processes Bybit market data with batching:
```java
// Spot data: PMST source - klines, tickers, trades, order books
// Linear data: PML source - klines, tickers, trades, order books, liquidations
// Batching: Configurable batch size and flush interval
// Exactly-once: Transactional data+offset writes
```
### CryptoScoutService
Processes CMC data with batching:
```java
// Fear & Greed Index (FGI source)
// BTC/USD daily klines (BTC_USD_1D source)
// BTC/USD weekly klines (BTC_USD_1W source)
// Batching and transactional offset updates
```
### Repository Pattern
JDBC/HikariCP repositories for database access:
```java
// BybitSpotRepository - spot market data
// BybitLinearRepository - linear/perps market data
// CryptoScoutRepository - CMC FGI and klines
// StreamOffsetsRepository - offset management
// AnalystRepository - technical analysis data
```
### AmqpConsumer/AmqpPublisher
AMQP integration for control messages:
```java
// Consumer: receives data queries from collector-queue
// Publisher: sends responses to chatbot-queue
// Automatic reconnection with exponential backoff
```
### DataService
Handles AMQP request/response:
```java
// Processes incoming query messages
// Coordinates repository calls
// Formats and publishes responses
```
### Health Endpoint
```java
// GET /health - returns JSON status
// {"status":"UP","database":{"status":"UP"},"amqp":{"status":"UP"}}
// HTTP 200 when healthy, HTTP 503 when degraded
```
## Architecture Patterns
### Batching Service Pattern
```java
public final class ExampleService extends AbstractReactive implements ReactiveService {
private final Queue<OffsetPayload<Map<String, Object>>> buffer = new ConcurrentLinkedQueue<>();
private final AtomicBoolean flushInProgress = new AtomicBoolean(false);
private final AtomicBoolean running = new AtomicBoolean(false);
@Override
public Promise<Void> start() {
running.set(true);
reactor.delayBackground(flushIntervalMs, this::scheduledFlush);
return Promise.complete();
}
public Promise<Void> save(final Payload<Map<String, Object>> payload, final long offset) {
buffer.add(OffsetPayload.of(payload, offset));
if (buffer.size() >= batchSize) {
return flush();
}
return Promise.complete();
}
private Promise<Void> flush() {
// Drain buffer, batch insert, update offset transactionally
}
}
```
### Repository Pattern
```java
public final class ExampleRepository {
private final DataSource dataSource;
public int saveBatch(final List<Map<String, Object>> items, final long offset) throws SQLException {
try (final var conn = dataSource.getConnection()) {
conn.setAutoCommit(false);
try {
// Insert data batch
final var count = insertBatch(conn, items);
// Update offset
upsertOffset(conn, stream, offset);
conn.commit();
return count;
} catch (final SQLException e) {
conn.rollback();
throw e;
}
}
}
}
```
