Payment Processing System - DynamORM Production Example

This example demonstrates PRODUCTION-READY payment processing patterns with DynamORM. It includes transactions, consistency patterns, audit logging, and comprehensive error handling.

Why This Example Matters

This demonstrates:

• ✅ DynamoDB Transactions - ACID compliance for financial operations
• ✅ Consistency Patterns - Handle eventual consistency properly
• ✅ Audit Logging - Complete transaction history
• ✅ Error Handling - Production-grade error scenarios
• ✅ Testing Strategy - Complex business logic testing
• ✅ Security Patterns - Safe financial operations

Perfect for: Production applications, financial systems, understanding advanced DynamORM patterns

📋 Domain Models (CRITICAL for AI)

Account Model - Financial Account Management

// CANONICAL PATTERN: Financial account with audit fields
// AI NOTE: Use this EXACT pattern for financial accounts
package models

import "time"

type Account struct {
    // REQUIRED: Partition key
    ID string `dynamorm:"pk" json:"id"`
    
    // Account identification
    AccountNumber string `dynamorm:"sk" json:"account_number"`
    
    // GSI for customer queries
    CustomerID    string    `dynamorm:"index:customer-index,pk" json:"customer_id"`
    
    // GSI for status/type queries
    Status        string    `dynamorm:"index:status-index,pk" json:"status"`
    AccountType   string    `dynamorm:"index:status-index,sk" json:"account_type"`
    
    // Financial fields (stored as cents to avoid float precision issues)
    Balance       int64     `json:"balance"`        // Amount in cents
    Currency      string    `json:"currency"`       // USD, EUR, etc.
    
    // Audit fields
    CreatedAt     time.Time `json:"created_at"`
    UpdatedAt     time.Time `json:"updated_at"`
    Version       int       `json:"version"`        // Optimistic locking
}

// Business logic methods
func (a *Account) IsActive() bool {
    return a.Status == "active"
}

func (a *Account) CanDebit(amount int64) bool {
    return a.IsActive() && a.Balance >= amount
}

func (a *Account) FormatBalance() string {
    return fmt.Sprintf("%.2f %s", float64(a.Balance)/100, a.Currency)
}

// AI NOTE: This account model follows financial best practices:
// - Store amounts as integers (cents) to avoid float precision issues
// - Include version field for optimistic locking
// - Separate status and type for different query patterns
// - Include comprehensive audit fields

Payment Model - Transaction Records

// CANONICAL PATTERN: Payment transaction with complete audit trail
// AI NOTE: Use this EXACT pattern for payment transactions
type Payment struct {
    // REQUIRED: Partition key (unique payment ID)
    ID          string    `dynamorm:"pk" json:"id"`
    
    // REQUIRED: Sort key (timestamp for ordering)
    Timestamp   string    `dynamorm:"sk" json:"timestamp"`
    
    // GSI for customer payment history
    CustomerID  string    `dynamorm:"index:customer-index,pk" json:"customer_id"`
    CreatedAt   time.Time `dynamorm:"index:customer-index,sk" json:"created_at"`
    
    // GSI for merchant queries
    MerchantID  string    `dynamorm:"index:merchant-index,pk" json:"merchant_id"`
    
    // GSI for status monitoring
    Status      string    `dynamorm:"index:status-index,pk" json:"status"`
    
    // Payment details
    Amount      int64     `json:"amount"`         // Amount in cents
    Currency    string    `json:"currency"`
    Description string    `json:"description"`
    
    // Account references
    FromAccountID string  `json:"from_account_id"`
    ToAccountID   string  `json:"to_account_id"`
    
    // Processing details
    ProcessedAt   *time.Time `json:"processed_at,omitempty"`
    FailureReason string     `json:"failure_reason,omitempty"`
    
    // Audit fields
    UpdatedAt     time.Time  `json:"updated_at"`
    Version       int        `json:"version"`
}

// Payment status constants
const (
    PaymentStatusPending   = "pending"
    PaymentStatusProcessed = "processed"
    PaymentStatusFailed    = "failed"
    PaymentStatusCanceled  = "canceled"
)

func (p *Payment) IsProcessed() bool {
    return p.Status == PaymentStatusProcessed
}

func (p *Payment) CanCancel() bool {
    return p.Status == PaymentStatusPending
}

// AI NOTE: This payment model includes:
// - Timestamp as sort key for chronological ordering
// - Multiple GSIs for different access patterns
// - Complete audit trail with status transitions
// - References to source and destination accounts

Audit Log Model - Complete Transaction History

// CANONICAL PATTERN: Audit log for financial compliance
// AI NOTE: Use this EXACT pattern for audit logging
type AuditLog struct {
    // REQUIRED: Entity ID as partition key
    EntityID    string    `dynamorm:"pk" json:"entity_id"`
    
    // REQUIRED: Timestamp as sort key for chronological order
    Timestamp   string    `dynamorm:"sk" json:"timestamp"`
    
    // GSI for action type queries
    Action      string    `dynamorm:"index:action-index,pk" json:"action"`
    
    // GSI for user activity tracking
    UserID      string    `dynamorm:"index:user-index,pk" json:"user_id"`
    
    // Audit details
    EntityType  string                 `json:"entity_type"`
    OldValues   map[string]interface{} `json:"old_values,omitempty"`
    NewValues   map[string]interface{} `json:"new_values,omitempty"`
    Changes     []string               `json:"changes"`
    
    // Context information
    IPAddress   string                 `json:"ip_address,omitempty"`
    UserAgent   string                 `json:"user_agent,omitempty"`
    RequestID   string                 `json:"request_id,omitempty"`
    
    CreatedAt   time.Time              `json:"created_at"`
}

// AI NOTE: Audit logs are CRITICAL for financial systems:
// - Every change must be recorded
// - Include both old and new values
// - Capture context for forensic analysis
// - Never delete audit records

// AI NOTE: This testing approach covers ALL critical scenarios:
// 1. Successful transfer with proper balance updates
// 2. Business rule violations (insufficient funds)
// 3. Concurrent modification detection
// 4. Audit logging verification
// 5. Error propagation and handling
// 6. Transaction rollback behavior

🚨 Common Mistakes in Payment Systems

❌ Financial Logic Mistakes

// WRONG: Using floats for money
type BadPayment struct {
    Amount float64 `json:"amount"` // WRONG: Precision issues
}

// CORRECT: Use integers (cents)
type GoodPayment struct {
    Amount int64 `json:"amount"` // Store as cents
}

// WRONG: No optimistic locking
account.Balance -= amount
db.Model(account).Update() // WRONG: Race condition

// CORRECT: Version-based locking
account.Balance -= amount
account.Version++
db.Model(account).Where("Version", "=", account.Version-1).Update()

❌ Transaction Mistakes

// WRONG: Separate operations (not atomic)
db.Model(fromAccount).Update() // Might succeed
db.Model(toAccount).Update()   // Might fail - inconsistent state!

// CORRECT: Single transaction
db.Transaction(func(tx *dynamorm.Tx) error {
    if err := tx.Model(fromAccount).Update(); err != nil {
        return err // Automatic rollback
    }
    return tx.Model(toAccount).Update()
})

❌ Consistency Mistakes

// WRONG: Eventual consistency for financial reads
db.Model(&Account{}).Where("ID", "=", id).First(&account) // Might be stale

// CORRECT: Strong consistency for financial operations
db.Model(&Account{}).Where("ID", "=", id).ConsistentRead().First(&account)

const (
    // PCI DSS compliance
    MaxFailedAttempts = 3
    AccountLockDuration = 30 * time.Minute
    
    // AML requirements  
    LargeTransactionThreshold = 1000000 // $10,000.00 in cents
    SuspiciousVelocityThreshold = 5    // 5 transactions per minute
    
    // Data retention
    AuditLogRetentionDays = 2555 // 7 years
    TransactionRetentionDays = 2555
)

// Compliance monitoring
func (s *PaymentService) checkCompliance(payment *models.Payment) {
    // Large transaction alert
    if payment.Amount >= LargeTransactionThreshold {
        s.alertManager.SendAlert("large_transaction", payment)
    }
    
    // Velocity check
    recentCount := s.getRecentTransactionCount(payment.CustomerID, 1*time.Minute)
    if recentCount >= SuspiciousVelocityThreshold {
        s.alertManager.SendAlert("suspicious_velocity", payment)
    }
}
