Core Components

1. Core Layer (src/accelerapp/core/)

Interfaces (interfaces.py)

Defines abstract contracts for system components:

  • IService: Protocol for service layer components
  • IAgent: Protocol for AI agent components
  • IPlugin: Protocol for plugin components
  • IRepository: Protocol for data repositories
  • BaseService: Abstract base class for service implementations

Dependency Injection (dependency_injection.py)

Provides IoC container for managing service lifecycles:

  • Service registration (transient, singleton, factory)
  • Service resolution with type safety
  • Lifecycle management
# Example usage
container = ServiceContainer()
container.register(HardwareService)
container.register_singleton(ConfigurationManager, config_instance)
service = container.resolve(HardwareService)

Configuration Management (config.py)

Centralized configuration with validation:

  • Pydantic-based configuration models
  • Environment variable support
  • YAML configuration file loading
  • Type-safe configuration access
# Example usage
config_mgr = ConfigurationManager()
config = config_mgr.load()
cache_ttl = config.performance.cache_ttl

Exception Hierarchy (exceptions.py)

Domain-specific exceptions:

  • AccelerappException - Base exception
  • ConfigurationError - Configuration issues
  • ServiceError - Service failures
  • ValidationError - Validation failures
  • ResourceError - Resource operation failures
  • PluginError - Plugin-related errors

2. Service Layer (src/accelerapp/services/)

Hardware Service

Manages hardware device registration and abstraction:

  • Device registration and discovery
  • Device lifecycle management
  • Hardware health monitoring

AI Service

Manages AI agent orchestration:

  • Agent registration and discovery
  • Task routing to appropriate agents
  • Agent lifecycle management

Workflow Service

Orchestrates multi-step workflows:

  • Step-by-step execution
  • Context passing between steps
  • Error handling and rollback

Monitoring Service

Centralized observability:

  • Metrics collection
  • Health check coordination
  • Service status aggregation

3. Utilities (src/accelerapp/utils/)

Caching (caching.py)

Multi-level caching with TTL:

  • In-memory cache with LRU eviction
  • Configurable TTL per entry
  • Cache statistics and monitoring
  • Decorator for function result caching
# Example usage
cache = CacheManager(default_ttl=3600, max_size=1000)
cache.set("key", "value", ttl=60)
value = cache.get("key")

# Decorator usage
@cache_result(ttl=300)
def expensive_function(param):
    return compute_result(param)

Async Utilities (async_utils.py)

Helpers for async operations:

  • run_async() - Run sync functions in async context
  • gather_with_concurrency() - Limited concurrency execution
  • retry_async() - Retry with exponential backoff
  • AsyncBatchProcessor - Batch processing with concurrency control

Performance Profiling (performance.py)

Performance measurement tools:

  • Operation timing and statistics
  • Context manager for profiling
  • Decorator for function profiling
  • Memory usage tracking (optional)
# Example usage
profiler = PerformanceProfiler()

with profiler.measure("operation_name"):
    # Code to profile
    pass

# Or use decorator
@profile("function_name")
def my_function():
    pass

4. Monitoring (src/accelerapp/monitoring/)

Metrics Collection (metrics.py)

Prometheus-compatible metrics:

  • Counter - Monotonically increasing values
  • Gauge - Point-in-time values
  • Histogram - Distribution of values
  • Automatic uptime tracking
# Example usage
metrics = get_metrics()
counter = metrics.counter("requests_total")
counter.inc()

gauge = metrics.gauge("active_connections")
gauge.set(10)

histogram = metrics.histogram("request_duration")
histogram.observe(0.245)

Structured Logging (logging.py)

JSON-based logging with correlation:

  • Structured log output
  • Correlation ID tracking
  • Configurable log levels
  • Multiple output handlers
# Example usage
setup_logging(level="INFO", structured=True)
logger = get_logger(__name__, correlation_id="req-123")
logger.info("Operation completed", extra_fields={"user_id": 456})

Health Checks (health.py)

Service health monitoring:

  • Critical and non-critical checks
  • Aggregated health status
  • Individual check results
  • Exception handling
# Example usage
checker = get_health_checker()
checker.register("database", lambda: check_db_connection(), critical=True)
health = checker.check_all()

5. Plugin System (src/accelerapp/plugins/)

Base Plugin (base.py)

Abstract base classes for plugins:

  • BasePlugin - Basic plugin functionality
  • GeneratorPlugin - Code generation plugins
  • AnalyzerPlugin - Code analysis plugins
  • TransformerPlugin - Code transformation plugins

Plugin Registry (registry.py)

Plugin management and discovery:

  • Plugin registration
  • Auto-discovery from directories
  • Capability-based plugin search
  • Lifecycle management
# Example usage
registry = get_plugin_registry()
registry.register(my_plugin)
await registry.initialize_all()

# Find plugins by capability
plugins = registry.find_plugins_by_capability("code_generation")

Design Patterns

1. Dependency Injection

  • Services are registered in a container
  • Dependencies are resolved at runtime
  • Promotes loose coupling and testability

2. Protocol-Based Design

  • Interfaces defined as Python protocols
  • Runtime type checking with isinstance()
  • Duck typing with type safety

3. Service Locator

  • Global instances for core services
  • Singleton pattern for infrastructure
  • Thread-safe service access

4. Observer Pattern (Monitoring)

  • Metrics collection observes operations
  • Health checks observe service state
  • Logging observes application events

5. Strategy Pattern (Plugins)

  • Plugin interface defines strategy
  • Registry manages strategy selection
  • Runtime plugin loading

Configuration

Configuration is managed through YAML files in the config/ directory:

logging_config.yaml

  • Log levels and formats
  • Output destinations
  • Correlation tracking

monitoring_config.yaml

  • Metrics collection settings
  • Health check intervals
  • Resource thresholds

performance_config.yaml

  • Caching configuration
  • Async processing settings
  • Resource pooling

service_config.yaml

  • Service layer settings
  • Plugin configuration
  • Error handling and resilience

Performance Optimizations

1. Caching

  • In-memory caching with LRU eviction
  • Configurable TTL per entry
  • Cache statistics for monitoring

2. Async Processing

  • Non-blocking I/O operations
  • Concurrent task execution
  • Configurable concurrency limits

3. Resource Pooling

  • Connection pooling for external services
  • Worker thread pools
  • Memory optimization

4. Performance Profiling

  • Built-in profiling tools
  • Automatic metric collection
  • Bottleneck identification

Monitoring and Observability

Metrics

  • Request counts and rates
  • Response times and latencies
  • Resource utilization (CPU, memory)
  • Custom application metrics

Logging

  • Structured JSON logging
  • Correlation ID tracking
  • Multiple log levels
  • Configurable outputs

Health Checks

  • Service availability checks
  • Dependency health monitoring
  • Critical vs non-critical checks
  • Aggregated health status

Extensibility

Plugin Development

  1. Inherit from appropriate base class
  2. Implement required methods
  3. Define metadata (name, version, capabilities)
  4. Register with plugin registry
class MyPlugin(GeneratorPlugin):
    def __init__(self):
        metadata = PluginMetadata(
            name="MyPlugin",
            version="1.0.0",
            author="Your Name",
            description="Plugin description",
            capabilities=["code_generation"],
        )
        super().__init__(metadata)
    
    async def initialize(self):
        await super().initialize()
        # Custom initialization
    
    def generate(self, spec, context=None):
        # Implementation
        return {"status": "success", "code": "..."}

Migration Guide

From Phase 1 to Phase 2

  1. Update Dependencies

    pip install -r requirements.txt

  2. Update Imports

    # Old
from accelerapp import AccelerappCore

# New (still supported)
from accelerapp.core import AccelerappCore

# New services
from accelerapp.services import HardwareService, AIService
from accelerapp.monitoring import get_metrics, get_logger

  3. Initialize Services

    # Use dependency injection
container = ServiceContainer()
container.register(HardwareService)
hw_service = container.resolve(HardwareService)
await hw_service.initialize()

  4. Configure Monitoring

    setup_logging(level="INFO", structured=True)
logger = get_logger(__name__)

  5. Use Caching

    @cache_result(ttl=300)
def expensive_operation():
    pass
