Implement Dynamic Configuration Retrieval for Scalable Index Management in finesse-backend

[k-allagbe]

Description

As the number of search indexes grows, managing separate configurations becomes impractical. Implementing dynamic configuration retrieval based on index ID will allow us to scale more efficiently. This method eliminates the need for hardcoded configurations, reduces maintenance overhead, and enhances the flexibility of our system.

Tasks

• Establish a secure connection to our configuration store.
• Develop a function to fetch index configurations dynamically using the index ID.
• Implement a caching mechanism to optimize configuration retrieval.
• Ensure robust security by setting appropriate access controls for configuration data.
• Update the search endpoint to use dynamic configurations.
• Conduct thorough testing to confirm system reliability and performance.
• Document the setup and operational guidelines.

Acceptance Criteria

• Configurations are retrieved dynamically based on index ID without manual intervention.
• The caching system effectively minimizes retrieval times and system load.
• Only authorized personnel can access or modify the configurations, ensuring data security.
• Documentation is clear and enables other developers to understand and use the new system effectively.
