# Ibex Data Platform

> Control plane for connection configs, CDC pipelines, and Vault sync.

# Ibex Data Platform

The `ibex-data-platform` serves as the centralized configuration manager and the backbone of the control plane for data ingestion.

## Architectural Role

Written in Go and running on port `8080`, this service handles all the logic presented by the Config UI (`ibex-platform-ui`). It handles integrations to external sources, pipeline setup, and secret management. It is broadly exposed via Traefik as the catch-all for `/api/*` and `/configs/*` paths.

## High-Level Working

### Registry & Source Management

The platform registers and tracks all overarching data sources (MySQL, PostgreSQL, REST APIs, Iceberg). When modified, it broadcasts these updates so downstream consumers—specifically the `ibex-analytics-service`—can live-attach them as DuckDB catalogs.

### Security via HashiCorp Vault

It acts as the intermediary between static passwords/API keys and the rest of the application. At startup, it reads credentials from the `vault-secrets` container (using a root token file mounted at `/vault/keys/root_token`) and uses these to establish connections.

### CDC & Pipelines

The `ibex-data-platform` is responsible for provisioning and maintaining Change Data Capture (CDC) pipelines. It automatically pushes pipeline events and data ingestion requests to `redpanda`, maintaining state tracking within the central `postgres-metadata` database via the `business_pipelines` tables.
