PRD: Add/Edit/Delete Secrets

Overview

This PRD outlines the requirements and implementation strategy for adding, editing, and deleting secrets within the MeshHook project. This feature is a crucial component of the Secrets Management section and aligns with MeshHook's goal of providing a secure, multi-tenant, deterministic workflow engine. Secrets management enables secure storage and usage of sensitive information like API keys, passwords, and tokens, essential for executing webhooks and workflows securely.

Functional Requirements

  1. Add Secrets:

    • Users must be able to add new secrets.
    • Each secret should include a name (unique within a project), value, and an optional description.
    • Secrets must be encrypted before storage.
  2. Edit Secrets:

    • Users must be able to edit existing secrets.
    • Editing a secret includes changing its value and/or description.
    • The name of a secret cannot be changed after creation; it must be deleted and re-added if a name change is necessary.
  3. Delete Secrets:

    • Users must be able to delete existing secrets.
    • Deletion should be secure and ensure that the secret cannot be recovered from storage.
  4. UI/UX:

    • Implement a user-friendly interface for managing secrets within the SvelteKit frontend.
    • Provide feedback to the user after operations are completed (e.g., success or error messages).
  5. API Integration:

    • Support API operations for adding, editing, and deleting secrets through secure endpoints.

Non-Functional Requirements

  • Performance: Secret management operations should complete within a reasonable timeframe, not exceeding 2 seconds under normal load.
  • Security:
    • Implement robust encryption for secret storage.
    • Ensure API endpoints for secrets management are protected against unauthorized access.
  • Reliability: Guarantee a high availability of the secrets management feature, aiming for 99.9% uptime.
  • Maintainability: Code should be clean, well-documented, and easy to maintain.

Technical Specifications

Architecture Context

  • MeshHook utilizes SvelteKit for frontend operations, Supabase for backend storage, and a combination of serverless functions for executing workflows.
  • Secrets management will integrate with these components, requiring updates primarily to the SvelteKit frontend and the Supabase database schema.

Implementation Approach

  1. Analysis:

    • Review the existing architecture to determine the best approach for integrating secrets management.
  2. Design:

    • Update the database schema to include a table for storing secrets with fields for name, value, description, and project_id.
    • Design secure API endpoints for adding, editing, and deleting secrets.
    • Sketch out the UI changes required for managing secrets.
  3. Implementation:

    • Implement the backend logic for secrets management, including encryption and decryption operations.
    • Develop the frontend UI for adding, editing, and deleting secrets.
    • Integrate the frontend with the backend through secure API calls.
  4. Testing:

    • Write unit and integration tests covering all new functionalities.
    • Perform manual testing to ensure the feature works as expected in the development environment.

Data Model Changes

  • New table: secrets
    • Columns: id, name, encrypted_value, description, project_id, created_at, updated_at
    • project_id links to the projects table to ensure multi-tenancy support.

API Endpoints

  • Add Secret: POST /api/secrets
  • Edit Secret: PUT /api/secrets/{secretId}
  • Delete Secret: DELETE /api/secrets/{secretId}

Acceptance Criteria

  • Users can add new secrets through the UI, with the secrets being encrypted before storage.
  • Users can edit the value and/or description of existing secrets through the UI.
  • Users can delete secrets through the UI.
  • All secret management operations are reflected in the UI without needing to refresh the page.
  • API endpoints for adding, editing, and deleting secrets are secured and functional.
  • Unit and integration tests cover new functionality.
  • The feature has been manually tested and verified in a development environment.

Dependencies

  • Access to the Supabase project for database schema updates.
  • SvelteKit setup for frontend development.

Implementation Notes

Development Guidelines

  • Follow the existing coding standards for JavaScript and Svelte.
  • Encrypt secrets using AES-GCM, ensuring that the encryption keys are securely managed.
  • Write tests before implementing new functionalities (TDD approach).

Testing Strategy

  • Unit Tests: Cover individual functions, particularly encryption and decryption logic.
  • Integration Tests: Ensure that the API endpoints interact correctly with the database and the frontend.
  • Manual Testing: Verify the user experience in the development environment, ensuring that secrets can be added, edited, and deleted seamlessly.

Security Considerations

  • Implement AES-GCM for encryption of secret values.
  • Secure API endpoints using authentication and authorization mechanisms.
  • Rotate encryption keys periodically.

Monitoring & Observability

  • Log operations related to secrets management, including additions, edits, and deletions.
  • Monitor API response times and error rates for secrets management endpoints.

This PRD lays out a clear roadmap for implementing a secure, efficient, and user-friendly secrets management feature within the MeshHook project, aligning with the project's overarching goals and technical architecture.
