continuum-backend

Cloud control plane for Continuum. Bun + ElysiaJS, PostgreSQL (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/.

Layout

• src/db/ - Drizzle schema (printers, farms, print_jobs, frame_embeddings) and client, pointed straight at Postgres. src/db/validators.ts derives Elysia/TypeBox request validators straight from the Drizzle tables via drizzle-typebox, so the Postgres schema and the API validators come from one definition instead of two hand-synced ones.
• src/s3/ - R2 presigned URL helpers (PUT for client uploads, GET for the edge proxy).
• src/queue/ - Valkey client (ioredis) + XADD helper pushing onto stream:camera_frames for continuum-ai-worker.

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 is schemas/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_id is 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.
