jcoffey-dev 3037b31b0f Phase 4: Helm chart enforces api vs enterprise-api, closing the deployment-topology gap
deploy/helm/sentry/templates/api.yaml and the new enterprise-api.yaml
are mutually exclusive, gated on opposite sides of the same
enterprise.enabled flag -- exactly one renders, both as a Deployment+
Service named {{ .Release.Name }}-api on port 8080, so every consumer
(alerting's API_QUERY_URL, web's build args) needs zero conditional
logic of its own. This is the concrete fix for what the threat model
named as the single largest remaining gap once both storage engines'
isolation mechanisms were built: previously nothing forced or flagged
whether a deployment ran the tenant-isolated binary. Now the same flag
that turns on RBAC/audit/SSO also chooses the query binary.

Verified by parsing (not eyeballing) helm template's rendered output
under both value sets: exactly one sentry-api Deployment/Service either
way, with the right image, and kubeconform -strict clean against the
real Kubernetes 1.31 schema. Not applied to a live cluster (still no
cluster in this environment) -- docker-compose.yml also still runs
plain api unconditionally, so this enforcement is Helm-only for now.

Updated the threat model, architecture doc, CLAUDE.md, and deploy/
READMEs to reflect this and to name what's left: ingest has no tenant
concept for either storage engine (undesigned), and the Tenant CRD
(deploy/operator) and enterprise-api -provision-tenant are still two
separate, unreconciled provisioning mechanisms.

deploy

Kubernetes deployment for Sentry, added in Phase 4 (/deploy was deliberately stubbed through Phase 3 -- see /CLAUDE.md's Phase 3 non-goals). Two pieces:

  • operator/ -- a small Go controller-runtime Operator managing one CRD (Tenant). See operator/README.md.
  • helm/sentry/ -- a Helm chart covering every docker-compose.yml service, plus the operator and Tenant CRs when enterprise.enabled=true. See helm/sentry/README.md.

What "multi-tenant-aware" means here, precisely

Per /docs/phase-4-isolation-design.md, tenant isolation itself lives at the application layer inside enterprise/ (enterprise-api holds a map of per-tenant ClickHouse connection pools via internal/chrunner; search holds a map of per-tenant Tantivy indices via src/registry.rs) -- not at the Kubernetes layer. This directory is not "one Deployment per tenant" or a general multi-cluster system; that's an explicit Phase 4 non-goal (see /CLAUDE.md). What it does add:

  • A Tenant CRD + controller that generates and manages one dedicated ClickHouse credential Secret per tenant (operator/internal/controller).
  • A Helm chart that can install zero-or-more Tenant CRs (values.tenants) alongside the rest of the stack, and — the newer piece — swaps api's Deployment for enterprise-api's whenever enterprise.enabled is true, so which query binary actually serves traffic is no longer a separately-forgettable decision (see helm/sentry/README.md's "api vs enterprise-api" section).

Two still-separate mechanisms, not yet unified: the Operator's Tenant CRD manages only the K8s-side credential Secret — it does not call ClickHouse (no CREATE DATABASE/CREATE USER/GRANT) or touch the Tantivy filesystem. enterprise-api -provision-tenant=<id> is what actually does that (enterprise/internal/tenantprovision, built and tested — see /enterprise/README.md), driven independently via rbacstore, not from the Tenant CRD's reconcile loop. A Tenant reaching status.phase: Active here means "this tenant has a K8s Secret," not "this tenant's ClickHouse database/grants exist" — running both mechanisms for the same tenant ID today requires two separate operator actions, named explicitly rather than implied to be one.

Verification status -- read before trusting this against a real cluster

Not verified against a live Kubernetes cluster. This environment has no kubectl/kind/minikube/kubebuilder/cluster reachable, so nothing here has been kubectl apply'd or helm install'd for real. Same disclosed-limitation shape as /agent/README.md's "Windows-specific agent code remains unverified on real Windows" from Phase 1 -- a real gap to close before shipping, not swept under the rug.

What was actually verified, offline, in this environment (network access was available to fetch these tools, but no cluster):

  • deploy/operator: go build/go vet/go test ./... all pass, including reconciler tests against controller-runtime's fake client (internal/controller/tenant_controller_test.go) -- real reconcile logic exercised, but not against a real apiserver (no envtest binaries available; see that test file's doc comment).
  • deploy/operator/config/crd/sentry.io_tenants.yaml: parsed with sigs.k8s.io/yaml + strict-unmarshaled into the real k8s.io/apiextensions-apiserver CustomResourceDefinition Go type -- catches YAML syntax errors and structural mistakes, not a live-cluster admission check.
  • deploy/helm/sentry: helm lint passes; helm template renders cleanly under both default values and a enterprise.enabled: true + two-tenant override; the rendered output was checked with kubeconform -strict against the real Kubernetes 1.31 OpenAPI schema for every built-in resource kind (22-31 resources depending on values, 0 invalid) -- this catches schema mistakes (wrong field names, wrong types) but not whether the resources actually reconcile correctly together on a live cluster (Job/StatefulSet startup ordering, PVC provisioning, actual pod scheduling). Specifically confirmed by parsing the rendered YAML (not just eyeballing it): exactly one Deployment/Service named sentry-api renders in each mode, with the enterprise.enabled: true render using the enterprise-api image and the default render using plain api's.
  • Docker image builds (operator/Dockerfile and every other Dockerfile this chart references) were not verified in this session -- Docker's daemon wasn't reachable here either (see the Phase 4 task 5 conversation for why). Build and push every image this chart's values.yaml references before installing it.

Before relying on this in production: kind create cluster, helm install with --include-crds, and walk through helm/sentry/README.md's two-tenant example end to end.
