🎯 Why AegisPay?

The Payment Orchestration Problem

Modern payment systems face critical challenges:

  • Gateway Failures: 2-5% of transactions fail due to gateway issues
  • Duplicate Charges: Race conditions cause customers to be charged multiple times
  • Lost Revenue: System crashes during payment processing lose money
  • Vendor Lock-in: Hard-coded gateway integrations prevent switching
  • Cascading Failures: One gateway failure brings down the entire system
  • Audit Nightmares: Missing transaction trails complicate compliance

The AegisPay Solution

AegisPay solves these with mathematically proven correctness and battle-tested resilience patterns:

✨ Advanced Features

🔐 Correctness Guarantees (Zero Data Loss)

1. Distributed Locking

Prevents concurrent modifications to the same payment:

// Automatic distributed locking
await lockManager.withLock(paymentId, async () => {
  // Only one process can execute this at a time
  await processPayment(payment);
});

Use Case: Prevents duplicate charges when user clicks "Pay" multiple times or API receives duplicate requests.

2. Optimistic Locking

Prevents lost updates using version-based concurrency control:

const payment = await paymentRepo.findById(id);
payment.version; // Current: 5

// Another process updates it
await otherProcess.update(payment); // Version becomes 6

// This update will fail with ConflictError
await paymentRepo.update(payment); // Still version 5 - CONFLICT!

Use Case: Handles race conditions in distributed systems where multiple services modify the same payment.

3. Event Sourcing

Complete audit trail with state reconstruction from events:

// All state changes become immutable events
PaymentInitiated  PaymentProcessing  PaymentAuthorized  PaymentCompleted

// Reconstruct payment state from event history
const payment = eventStore.replayEvents(paymentId);

Use Case: Audit compliance, debugging production issues, time-travel queries, dispute resolution.

4. Transactional Outbox Pattern

Guarantees exactly-once event delivery:

// Database transaction ensures atomicity
await db.transaction(async (tx) => {
  await tx.payments.update(payment);
  await tx.outbox.insert(event); // Both succeed or both fail
});

// Separate process publishes events
outboxProcessor.publish(); // Exactly-once delivery guaranteed

Use Case: Ensures webhooks, notifications, and integrations never miss events, even during crashes.

5. Formal State Machine

Prevents invalid state transitions with mathematical guarantees:

// Compile-time and runtime validation
payment.transition(PaymentState.COMPLETED, PaymentState.INITIATED); // ❌ INVALID
payment.transition(PaymentState.INITIATED, PaymentState.PROCESSING); // ✅ VALID

Use Case: Prevents data corruption from invalid operations (e.g., refunding an unpaid order).


🧠 Intelligent Routing & Resilience

6. Multi-Factor Gateway Selection

Real-time metrics-based routing optimizes for success rate, latency, and cost:

const router = new IntelligentRouter({
  strategy: RoutingStrategy.METRICS_BASED,
  weights: {
    successRate: 0.6, // Prioritize reliability
    latency: 0.3, // Then speed
    cost: 0.1, // Then cost
  },
});

// Automatically selects best gateway based on live metrics
const gateway = await router.selectGateway(payment);

Routing Strategies:

  • Metrics-Based: Real-time gateway health scoring
  • Cost-Optimized: Minimize transaction fees
  • Latency-Optimized: Fastest gateway selection
  • Round-Robin: Equal distribution
  • Weighted: Custom distribution ratios
  • Geographic: Route by customer location
  • A/B Testing: Experiment with gateway configurations

Use Case: Automatic failover to healthy gateways, cost optimization, geographic compliance.

7. Adaptive Circuit Breakers

Prevent cascading failures with automatic failure detection:

const circuitBreaker = new CircuitBreaker({
  failureThreshold: 5, // Open after 5 failures
  successThreshold: 2, // Close after 2 successes
  timeout: 60000, // 60s timeout in OPEN state
  halfOpenMaxAttempts: 3, // Test with 3 requests in HALF_OPEN
});

// Automatically prevents calls to failing gateways
const result = await circuitBreaker.execute(() => gateway.charge(payment));

Circuit States:

  • CLOSED: Normal operation, all requests pass through
  • OPEN: Gateway failing, fast-fail all requests (no wasted time/money)
  • HALF_OPEN: Testing recovery, limited traffic allowed

Use Case: Protect against third-party gateway outages, reduce latency during failures.

8. Exponential Backoff with Jitter

Smart retry logic prevents thundering herd:

const retryPolicy = new RetryPolicy({
  maxAttempts: 3,
  initialDelay: 1000, // 1s
  maxDelay: 30000, // 30s
  multiplier: 2, // Exponential
  jitter: true, // Randomize to prevent thundering herd
  retryableErrors: ['NETWORK_ERROR', 'TIMEOUT', 'RATE_LIMIT'],
});

// Retry: 1s → 2s → 4s → 8s (with random jitter)

Use Case: Gracefully handle transient failures without overwhelming gateways.

9. Gateway Health Monitoring

Real-time health scoring drives routing decisions:

const healthMonitor = new GatewayHealthMonitor();

// Health score: 0.0 (dead) to 1.0 (perfect)
const health = healthMonitor.getHealth(GatewayType.STRIPE);
// {
//   score: 0.95,
//   successRate: 0.98,
//   averageLatency: 145ms,
//   errorRate: 0.02,
//   circuitState: 'CLOSED'
// }

Metrics Tracked:

  • Success rate (last 100 transactions)
  • Average latency (P50, P95, P99)
  • Error rate and error types
  • Circuit breaker state
  • Request volume and throughput

Use Case: Data-driven routing, proactive failure detection, SLA monitoring.


🔌 Extensibility & Integration

10. Hook System (Plugin Architecture)

Extend behavior without modifying core code:

// Fraud detection hook
class CustomFraudCheck implements FraudCheckHook {
  async execute(context: HookContext) {
    const riskScore = await fraudAPI.score(context.payment);
    return {
      allowed: riskScore < 0.8,
      riskScore,
      reason: 'Fraud detection analysis',
    };
  }
}

registry.registerFraudCheck(new CustomFraudCheck());

Hook Types:

  • Pre-Validation Hooks: Input validation, business rules
  • Fraud Check Hooks: Custom fraud detection, risk scoring
  • Routing Strategy Hooks: Custom gateway selection logic
  • Event Listener Hooks: React to payment events (notifications, webhooks)
  • Lifecycle Hooks: Before/after operations for logging, metrics

Use Case: Integrate third-party services, implement custom business logic, A/B testing.

11. Multi-Gateway Support

Pluggable gateway adapters with unified interface:

// Register multiple gateways
registry.register(GatewayType.STRIPE, new StripeAdapter());
registry.register(GatewayType.RAZORPAY, new RazorpayAdapter());
registry.register(GatewayType.PAYPAL, new PayPalAdapter());

// Switch gateways without code changes
const payment = await service.processPayment({
  amount: new Money(100, Currency.USD),
  gatewayType: GatewayType.STRIPE, // or RAZORPAY, PAYPAL, etc.
});

Built-in Adapters: Stripe, Razorpay, PayPal, Braintree, Adyen (easily add more)

Use Case: Avoid vendor lock-in, AB test gateways, regional gateway requirements.


📊 Observability & Monitoring

12. Structured Logging

Correlation ID tracking across distributed systems:

logger.info('Payment initiated', {
  paymentId,
  correlationId,
  customerId,
  amount: payment.amount.amount,
  currency: payment.amount.currency,
  gatewayType,
  metadata: {
    ipAddress: req.ip,
    userAgent: req.headers['user-agent'],
  },
});

Log Levels: ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG
Output Format: JSON (machine-readable), Pretty (development)

Use Case: Distributed tracing, debugging production issues, compliance audits.

13. Metrics Collection

Custom metrics for monitoring platforms:

metrics.increment('payments.initiated');
metrics.timing('payments.duration', duration);
metrics.gauge('payments.queue_depth', queueSize);
metrics.histogram('payments.amount', amount);

Supported Backends: Prometheus, StatsD, DataDog, New Relic, CloudWatch

Use Case: Real-time dashboards, alerting, performance analysis, capacity planning.

14. Distributed Tracing Support

OpenTelemetry integration for request flow visualization:

const span = tracer.startSpan('process_payment');
span.setAttributes({
  paymentId,
  gatewayType,
  amount: payment.amount.amount,
});

// Trace flows across services
await gateway.charge(payment); // Traced automatically

span.end();

Use Case: Identify bottlenecks, understand latency distribution, debug timeouts.


🧪 Chaos Engineering

15. Built-in Failure Injection

Test resilience before production:

const chaosEngine = new ChaosEngine({
  latencyInjection: { enabled: true, probability: 0.1, delay: 5000 },
  errorInjection: { enabled: true, probability: 0.05 },
  timeoutInjection: { enabled: true, probability: 0.02 },
  circuitBreakerTest: { enabled: true },
});

// Randomly injects failures to test resilience
const result = await chaosEngine.execute(() => gateway.charge(payment));

Failure Types:

  • Latency Injection: Simulate slow gateways
  • Error Injection: Simulate gateway failures
  • Timeout Injection: Simulate network issues
  • Partial Failure: Simulate inconsistent states

Use Case: Validate retry logic, test circuit breakers, verify fallback strategies.


🏗️ Architecture Highlights

16. Event-Driven Architecture (CQRS)

Separate read and write models for scalability:

// Write model (commands)
await paymentService.processPayment(request);

// Read model (queries) - optimized for queries
const history = await paymentQuery.getHistory(customerId);
const analytics = await paymentQuery.getAnalytics(dateRange);

Benefits: Independent scaling, optimized queries, audit trail, event sourcing.

17. Functional Programming Design

Pure business logic with isolated side effects:

// Pure function - no side effects
const calculateFees = (amount: Money, rate: number): Money => {
  return new Money(amount.amount * rate, amount.currency);
};

// Side effects isolated in adapters
const processPayment = async (payment: Payment): Promise<Result<Payment>> => {
  // Pure orchestration logic
  const fees = calculateFees(payment.amount, 0.029);
  const total = payment.amount.add(fees);

  // Side effects at boundaries
  return await gateway.charge(payment.withAmount(total));
};

Benefits: Testability, composability, reasoning, parallelization.

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

npm install aegispay
# or
pnpm add aegispay
# or
yarn add aegispay

Basic Usage

import { PaymentService, GatewayRegistry, Money, Currency } from 'aegispay';

// 1. Initialize gateway registry
const registry = new GatewayRegistry();
registry.register(GatewayType.STRIPE, new StripeAdapter(config));

// 2. Create payment service
const paymentService = new PaymentService({
  gatewayRegistry: registry,
  eventBus: new EventBus(),
  db: new Database(),
  lockManager: new LockManager(),
});

// 3. Process payment
const result = await paymentService.processPayment({
  amount: new Money(9999, Currency.USD),
  currency: Currency.USD,
  paymentMethod: {
    type: PaymentMethodType.CARD,
    details: {
      cardNumber: '4242424242424242',
      expiryMonth: '12',
      expiryYear: '25',
      cvv: '123',
      cardHolderName: 'John Doe',
    },
  },
  customer: {
    id: 'cust_123',
    email: 'john@example.com',
  },
  idempotencyKey: 'unique_request_id_123',
  gatewayType: GatewayType.STRIPE,
});

if (result.isSuccess()) {
  console.log('Payment successful:', result.value.id);
} else {
  console.error('Payment failed:', result.error);
}

💡 Core Concepts

Idempotency

Prevent double-charging by using idempotency keys:

const idempotencyKey = `order_${orderId}_${userId}`;
const payment = await aegisPay.createPayment({
  idempotencyKey,
  // ... other fields
});

// Calling again with same key returns the same payment (no duplicate charge)
const samePayment = await aegisPay.createPayment({ idempotencyKey, ... });
console.log(payment.id === samePayment.id); // true

Smart Routing

Route payments intelligently based on various factors:

// Strategy: Highest success rate
const aegisPay = new AegisPay({
  routing: { strategy: RoutingStrategy.HIGHEST_SUCCESS_RATE },
});

// Strategy: Cost optimization
const aegisPay = new AegisPay({
  routing: { strategy: RoutingStrategy.COST_OPTIMIZED },
  gatewayCosts: [
    { gatewayType: GatewayType.STRIPE, fixedFee: 0.3, percentageFee: 2.9 },
    { gatewayType: GatewayType.PAYPAL, fixedFee: 0.49, percentageFee: 3.49 },
  ],
});

// Strategy: Custom rules
const aegisPay = new AegisPay({
  routing: {
    strategy: RoutingStrategy.RULE_BASED,
    rules: [
      {
        id: 'high-value',
        priority: 10,
        conditions: [{ field: 'amount', operator: 'greaterThan', value: 1000 }],
        gatewayType: GatewayType.STRIPE,
        enabled: true,
      },
    ],
  },
});

Fault Tolerance

Built-in retry logic and circuit breakers:

// Exponential backoff retries
// 1st retry: 1s, 2nd: 2s, 3rd: 4s (with jitter)

// Circuit breaker automatically isolates failing gateways
// After 5 failures → Circuit OPEN (fail fast)
// After 60s → Circuit HALF_OPEN (test recovery)
// Success → Circuit CLOSED (normal operation)

Event-Driven

Subscribe to payment lifecycle events:

eventBus.subscribe('PAYMENT_SUCCEEDED', async (event) => {
  // Send confirmation email
  // Update inventory
  // Trigger fulfillment
  console.log('Payment succeeded:', event.payload);
});

Documentation

Features in Detail

State Machine

Strict state transitions prevent invalid payment states:

// Valid transitions
payment.authenticate(); // INITIATED → AUTHENTICATED
payment.startProcessing(); // AUTHENTICATED → PROCESSING
payment.markSuccess(); // PROCESSING → SUCCESS
payment.markFailure(); // PROCESSING → FAILURE

// Invalid transition throws error
payment.markSuccess(); // INITIATED → SUCCESS ❌ Error!

Gateway Registry

Manage multiple payment gateways:

// Register gateways
registry.register(GatewayType.STRIPE, stripeGateway);
registry.register(GatewayType.RAZORPAY, razorpayGateway);

// Track metrics
const metrics = registry.getMetrics(GatewayType.STRIPE);
console.log(metrics.successRate); // 98.5%
console.log(metrics.averageLatency); // 245ms

Observability

Built-in logging and metrics:

// Structured logging
logger.info('Payment created', {
  paymentId: payment.id,
  amount: payment.amount,
  duration: 150,
});

// Metrics collection
metrics.increment('payment.created');
metrics.histogram('payment.latency', duration);

// Get metrics
const snapshot = metrics.getMetrics();
console.log(snapshot.counters['payment.created']); // 1523

Extending AegisPay

Adding New Gateways

class StripeGateway implements PaymentGateway {
  async initiate(payment: Payment) {
    /* ... */
  }
  async authenticate(payment: Payment) {
    /* ... */
  }
  async process(payment: Payment) {
    /* ... */
  }
  async refund(payment: Payment) {
    /* ... */
  }
  async getStatus(txnId: string) {
    /* ... */
  }
  async healthCheck() {
    /* ... */
  }
}

// Register
aegisPay.registerGateway(GatewayType.STRIPE, new StripeGateway(config));

Custom Fraud Checks

eventBus.subscribe('PAYMENT_INITIATED', async (event) => {
  const fraudScore = await myFraudService.check(event.payload);
  if (fraudScore > 0.8) {
    // Block payment
    await blockPayment(event.payload.paymentId);
  }
});
