fix(oauth2): cache the api endpoint lookup done by the bearer token validator by romanetar · Pull Request #648 · OpenStackweb/summit-api

OAuth2BearerAccessTokenRequestValidator ran getApiEndpointByUrlAndMethod on every authenticated request (digest 30d3734e9632, ~17 q/s on prod-12) and only used isActive() and getScopesNames() from the result.

Changes

The validator caches ['exists', 'active', 'scopes'] per (route, method) with Cache::remember. Unknown endpoints are cached as missing, so they don't hit the DB either. The 400/403 behavior is unchanged.
New config cache_api_response.api_endpoint_lifetime (env CACHE_API_RESPONSE_API_ENDPOINT_LIFETIME, default 3600, 0 disables the cache). Added to .env.example.
The cache key includes a version token (api_endpoint_{version}_{route}_{method}), and OAuth2BearerAccessTokenRequestValidator::flushEndpointCache() rotates it, since the cache facade can't delete by prefix. ApiEndpointsSeeder::run() calls it.
Config migrations are plain SQL, so they can't flush. A note in APIEndpointsMigrationHelper says a deploy running them must run php artisan cache:clear (or flushEndpointCache()).

Tests

tests/OAuth2BearerEndpointCacheTest.php (5 tests): miss populates, hit skips the repository, inactive endpoint, unknown endpoint cached as missing, lifetime 0 disables the cache, flush forces a new lookup.

Not run: the existing OAuth2 suite (insufficient scope / inactive / unknown endpoint).

Deploy

A deploy that registers new routes must flush the cache (see above), otherwise they answer 400 until the lifetime expires.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added caching for bearer-token API endpoint lookups, reducing repeated validation work and improving response performance.
- Added configurable cache lifetime, set to 3,600 seconds by default. Set the lifetime to zero or a negative value to disable caching.
- Added cache invalidation support so endpoint changes can take effect immediately.
Documentation
- Added deployment guidance for clearing endpoint caches after API route or endpoint changes.

📝 Walkthrough

The bearer-token validator now caches endpoint lookup data using a configurable lifetime. It uses cached endpoint status and scopes during validation. The API endpoint seeder flushes this cache after seeding, and tests cover cache behavior and invalidation.

Changes: Endpoint lookup caching

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Configure and use endpoint lookup cache `.env.example`, `config/cache_api_response.php`, `app/Http/Middleware/OAuth2BearerAccessTokenRequestValidator.php`	Adds a configurable cache lifetime with a 3600-second default. The validator caches endpoint existence, activity, and scopes by version, route, and method. It uses cached endpoint data for endpoint and scope checks.
Flush and verify cached lookups `database/seeders/ApiEndpointsSeeder.php`, `database/migrations/config/APIEndpointsMigrationHelper.php`, `tests/OAuth2BearerEndpointCacheTest.php`	The seeder flushes endpoint lookup cache after seeding. Migration guidance describes cache clearing. Tests cover cache hits, inactive and missing endpoints, disabled caching, and explicit flushing.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6ba06

Cached endpoint permissions could briefly become stale if the version key is evicted. Fix the fallback and add validator-path tests; the remaining risk is bounded.

Add validator-path coverage for endpoint rejection and scope denial.

tests/OAuth2BearerEndpointCacheTest.php invokes private getEndpointInfo() through reflection. It does not execute OAuth2BearerAccessTokenRequestValidator::handle(). Therefore, it cannot detect regressions in the changed exists/active rejection or the $endpoint['scopes'] intersection.

Add focused integration cases through a protected route. Use an unknown or inactive endpoint and assert HTTP 400. Use an active endpoint with a token that lacks the endpoint scope and assert HTTP 403 with OAuth2Protocol_Error_InsufficientScope. These tests cover the changed validation behavior without implying that production currently fails.

Cache::forever when it is missing, then use that version in the api_endpoint key
