A real pooled database became available, so the deployment assumption in src/db/index.ts - "points at pgCat/PgBouncer, so keep prepared statements disabled" - was finally testable. It does not hold. Through pgCat 1.2.0 an unparameterised `select 1` succeeds, and so does `select count(*) from organisations`, but any query carrying a bind parameter hangs forever. That is true with prepare:false, with prepare:true, with fetch_types:false, and inside an explicit transaction. The same queries straight at Postgres all pass, and psql's \bind through the same pool returns its row, so the fault is specific to how postgres-js frames those messages rather than to extended protocol. Every Drizzle query binds parameters, so no subset of this app works there. drizzle-kit hung at commit for the same reason - it builds its own client and drizzle.config.ts cannot pass prepare:false - having executed all 14 statements of 0000, which then rolled back. Transaction-mode pooling itself was confirmed, not assumed: in one client session consecutive statements hopped between server backends while statements inside BEGIN..COMMIT stayed pinned to one. So the comment now records what was measured, names PgBouncer as the pooler this configuration actually suits, and says migrations go straight at Postgres. dev-env.sh's note gets the same correction. Two real bugs found on the way there: - e2e-authz.sh and e2e-edge.sh hardcoded `psql -h localhost -U continuum -d continuum` while both read DATABASE_URL for the backend under test. Point DATABASE_URL elsewhere and the suite seeds fixtures into one database while exercising another - and its own failure message says "no database at $DATABASE_URL", naming a URL nothing ever tried. Both now use `psql "$DATABASE_URL"`. - drizzle.config.ts fell back to port 6432, where nothing listens here, so a bare db:migrate failed confusingly. It now matches dev-env.sh's DEV_DATABASE_URL. bun test 128 pass / 0 fail; e2e-authz.sh PASS with 68 checks against local Postgres after the psql_q change. e2e-edge.sh was not re-run because it drives the real printers, and its change is the same line.
continuum-backend
Cloud control plane for Continuum. Bun + ElysiaJS, PostgreSQL (via pgCat/PgBouncer, with pgvector for frame embeddings), Valkey Streams, and Cloudflare R2 storage.
Run
bun install
scripts/dev-env.sh up # Valkey + Postgres/pgvector, and print the URLs
scripts/dev-env.sh schema # apply drizzle/ - same as bun run db:migrate
cp .env.example .env # fill in the URLs it printed, plus R2_*, SUPABASE_JWT_SECRET
bun run dev
scripts/dev-env.sh uses docker-compose.yml when a Docker daemon is
answering, and falls back to the same two services from apt when there is no
usable container runtime - some sandboxes cannot run Docker at all, because
dockerd needs CAP_NET_ADMIN for its bridge and user namespaces to unpack an
image, and neither can be granted from inside. scripts/dev-env.sh status
says which backend is in use.
Schema changes go through migrations: edit src/db/schema/, run
bun run db:generate, and commit the file it writes to drizzle/ along with
the schema change. scripts/dev-env.sh push reshapes a local database straight
from the schema with no migration file, which is faster while a table is still
moving but records nothing and will drop a column to make things match - so
generate before committing. drizzle/0000_*.sql creates the vector extension
itself; that line is hand-added, since drizzle-kit does not emit extension
statements and the migration would otherwise only apply to a database somebody
had already prepared.
Test
bun test # unit + protocol contract tests, no services needed
scripts/e2e-edge.sh # the whole edge path: real database, real printers
scripts/e2e-edge.sh seeds a farm, claims its printers, mints an edge token,
runs the real continuum-proxy against this backend, and asserts that live
telemetry reached Postgres and that a command reached a printer. It only ever
sends a fan speed, and only to a printer reporting IDLE.
scripts/capture-gateway-frames.js is the smaller tool: it stands in for this
backend and records what a gateway sends, for refreshing the fixtures in
tests/fixtures/.

Valkey, not Redis: Redis 7.4+ is RSALv2/SSPL and 8.0+ adds AGPLv3, none of
which a commercial product can ship. Valkey is BSD-3-Clause and speaks the
same RESP protocol, so ioredis is unchanged - only the server differs. See
continuum-common/docs/LICENSES.md. docker-compose.yml here brings up
Valkey and Postgres+pgvector for local development.
src/routes/-/auth,/farms,/printers,/jobs, and the edge-gateway WebSocket at/ws/edge/v1. That route's wire format is not defined here: it isschemas/continuum/v1/edge/in continuum-schemas, validated through its TypeBox mirror in@continuum/ts-types, because both ends of it are separate programs in different languages and they had already drifted apart once.printers.gateway_printer_idis what maps a gateway's own printer ids ("p1p") onto rows here; telemetry for an unclaimed id is logged and skipped, never inserted.
frame_embeddings.embedding requires the vector extension. The first
migration creates it, and scripts/dev-env.sh up also does so for the push
path, which does not run migrations.
Dependency pins
elysia, @sinclair/typebox and the drizzle-* packages are pinned tightly
on purpose, not out of caution. Caret ranges here resolved into a combination
that could not boot: elysia: ^1.1.26 installed 1.4.30, which calls
t.Module and so needs TypeBox >=0.34, while drizzle-typebox: ^0.2.1
installed a version whose peers demand drizzle-orm >=0.36 against the
^0.33.0 pinned here. Typechecking passed throughout - only starting the
server failed. tests/dependency_identity.test.ts guards the part of this that
can silently come back.
