This document details how various components communicate with each other. There are two kinds of components:
|
||
|
|
- Public-facing: exposes CS/SS API endpoints and need to be routed to via client-api-proxy or equivalent.
|
||
|
|
- Internal-only: exposes internal APIs and produces Kafka events.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Internal HTTP APIs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Not everything can be done using Kafka logs. For example, requesting the latest events in a room is much better suited to
|
||
|
|
a request/response model like HTTP or RPC. Therefore, components can expose "internal APIs" which sit outside of Kafka logs.
|
||
|
|
Note in Monolith mode these are actually direct function calls and are not serialised HTTP requests.

- 1 (PublicRooms -> Roomserver): Calculating current auth for changing visibility
|
||
|
|
- 2 (Sync -> Roomserver): When making backfill requests
|
||
|
|
- 3 (FedAPI -> Roomserver): Calculating (prev/auth events) and sending new events, processing backfill/state/state_ids requests
|
||
|
|
- 4 (ClientAPI -> Roomserver): Calculating (prev/auth events) and sending new events, processing /state requests
|
||
|
|
- 5 (FedAPI -> EDUServer): Sending typing/send-to-device events
|
||
|
|
- 6 (ClientAPI -> EDUServer): Sending typing/send-to-device events
|
||
|
|
- 7 (ClientAPI -> FedSender): Handling directory lookups
|
||
|
|
- 8 (FedAPI -> FedSender): Resetting backoffs when receiving traffic from a server. Querying joined hosts when handling alias lookup requests
|
||
|
|
- 9 (FedAPI -> AppService): Working out if the client is an appservice user
|
||
|
|
- 10 (ClientAPI -> AppService): Working out if the client is an appservice user
|
||
|
|
- 11 (FedAPI -> ServerKeyAPI): Verifying incoming event signatures
|
||
|
|
- 12 (FedSender -> ServerKeyAPI): Verifying event signatures of responses (e.g from send_join)
|
||
|
|
- 13 (Roomserver -> ServerKeyAPI): Verifying event signatures of backfilled events
