GAL v1.3.0 - Implementierungsplan

Status:RELEASED - 2025-10-19 Focus: Import/Migration & Provider Portability Estimated Effort: 12 Wochen Actual Effort: 12 Wochen (100% on target)


🎯 Mission

Provider Lock-in brechen: Ermögliche Migration bestehender Gateway-Konfigurationen zu GAL und damit zu jedem anderen Provider.

Vision

Unternehmen mit bestehenden Gateway-Deployments (Nginx, HAProxy, Kong, etc.) können ihre Konfigurationen automatisch zu GAL konvertieren und damit: 1. Portabilität gewinnen - Wechsel zu anderem Provider in Minuten statt Wochen 2. Vendor Lock-in vermeiden - Nicht mehr an einen Provider gebunden 3. Multi-Provider nutzen - Gleiche Config auf verschiedenen Providern 4. Migration vereinfachen - Nginx → HAProxy, Kong → Envoy, etc.

📦 Feature 6: HAProxy Import (Custom Parser)

Status: ✅ Completed | Effort: 2 Wochen | Release: v1.3.0-beta2

Scope

Parse HAProxy haproxy.cfg (non-YAML!) → GAL Config

Challenge: HAProxy config ist section-based format!

Lösung: Custom Parser (simpler als Nginx - section-basiert)

Mapping: - frontend → Routing ACLs → GAL routes[] - backend → Servers → GAL services[], upstream.targets[] - balance → GAL load_balancer.algorithm (roundrobin, leastconn, source, uri, hdr) - option httpchk → GAL health_check.active - cookie → GAL load_balancer.sticky_sessions - http-request set-header → GAL transformation.headers

Implementation:

from gal.parsers.haproxy_parser import HAProxyConfigParser, SectionType

class HAProxyProvider(Provider):
    def parse(self, provider_config: str) -> Config:
        parser = HAProxyConfigParser()
        sections = parser.parse(provider_config)

        global_config = self._parse_global(sections)
        services = self._parse_services(sections)

        return Config(
            version="1.0",
            provider="haproxy",
            global_config=global_config,
            services=services
        )

Custom Parser: gal/parsers/haproxy_parser.py (235 lines)

class HAProxyConfigParser:
    """Parse haproxy.cfg section-based format."""

    def parse(self, config_text: str) -> List[HAProxySection]:
        sections = []
        current_section = None

        for line in self._preprocess(config_text):
            if line.startswith("frontend"):
                current_section = HAProxySection(type=SectionType.FRONTEND, ...)
            elif line.startswith("backend"):
                current_section = HAProxySection(type=SectionType.BACKEND, ...)
            else:
                current_section.directives.append(self._parse_directive(line))

        return sections

CLI Command: gal-cli.py:225-368 (already implemented)

gal import-config --provider haproxy \
                  --input haproxy.cfg \
                  --output gal-config.yaml

Tests: tests/test_import_haproxy.py - 28 tests, all passing ✅

Test Coverage: - TestHAProxyParserBasic (9 tests): Empty config, global, defaults, frontend, backend, listen, multiple sections, comments - TestHAProxyImportBasic (5 tests): Simple backend, multiple servers, multiple backends, listen section, global config - TestHAProxyImportLoadBalancing (4 tests): roundrobin, leastconn, source, uri algorithms - TestHAProxyImportHealthChecks (3 tests): Simple httpchk, httpchk with path, http-check v2.0+ - TestHAProxyImportStickySessions (1 test): Cookie-based sticky sessions - TestHAProxyImportHeaders (1 test): http-request set-header - TestHAProxyImportRouting (2 tests): Path-based routing with ACLs, default_backend - TestHAProxyImportEdgeCases (3 tests): Backend without servers, unnamed sections, invalid servers - TestHAProxyImportComplex (1 test): Production-like multi-backend config

Supported Features: - ✅ Frontends & Backends (section-based parsing) - ✅ Listen Sections (combined frontend+backend) - ✅ Load Balancing (roundrobin → round_robin, leastconn → least_connections, source → ip_hash, uri → uri_hash) - ✅ Health Checks (option httpchk, http-check v2.0+) - ✅ Sticky Sessions (cookie-based with custom names) - ✅ Server Weights (weight parameter) - ✅ Header Manipulation (http-request set-header → transformation.headers) - ✅ Routing ACLs (path_beg → routes with path_prefix) - ✅ Global Config (defaults, bind addresses) - ✅ Multiple Services & Routes

Parser Coverage: 88% (97 statements, 12 missed)

Example Input/Output:

# Input: haproxy.cfg
frontend http_front
    bind *:80
    use_backend api_backend if { path_beg /api }

✅ Feature 7: Compatibility Checker & Comparison

Status: 🔄 Pending | Effort: 2 Wochen | Release: v1.3.0-rc1 | Dependencies: Features 1-6

Motivation

Nach Import muss der Nutzer wissen: - Funktioniert die GAL-Config auf dem Ziel-Provider? - Welche Features werden unterstützt? - Welcher Provider ist am besten geeignet?

CLI Commands

Check Compatibility:

gal validate --config gal-config.yaml --target-provider haproxy

# Output:
# ✓ Config is compatible with HAProxy
# ⚠ Warnings:
#   - JWT authentication requires Lua scripting
#   - Active health checks fully supported
#
# Compatibility: 95% (19/20 features supported)

Compare Providers:

gal compare --config gal-config.yaml --providers envoy,kong,nginx,haproxy

# Output (table):
# Feature           | Envoy | Kong | Nginx | HAProxy
# ------------------|-------|------|-------|--------
# Rate Limiting     | ✅    | ✅   | ✅    | ✅
# JWT Auth          | ✅    | ✅   | ⚠️    | ⚠️
# Active HC         | ✅    | ✅   | ❌    | ✅
# Load Balancing    | ✅    | ✅   | ✅    | ✅
#
# Recommendation: Use Envoy or Kong for full compatibility

Implementation

File: gal/compatibility.py

class CompatibilityChecker:
    """Check config compatibility with providers."""

    def check_provider(self, config: Config, target_provider: str) -> CompatibilityReport:
        """Check if config works on target provider."""
        provider = get_provider(target_provider)

        report = CompatibilityReport(
            provider=target_provider,
            compatible=True,
            features_supported=[],
            features_unsupported=[],
            warnings=[]
        )

        # Check each feature
        for service in config.services:
            self._check_service_features(service, provider, report)

        return report

    def compare_providers(self, config: Config, providers: List[str]) -> Dict[str, CompatibilityReport]:
        """Compare config compatibility across providers."""
        results = {}
        for provider_name in providers:
            results[provider_name] = self.check_provider(config, provider_name)
        return results
