Architectural Patterns for Enterprise Integration

1. Multi-Tenant Knowledge Management

Organizations can implement a multi-tenant architecture to organize knowledge by teams, departments, or functions:

                  ┌───────────────┐
                  │   Rememberizer│
                  │     Platform  │
                  └───────┬───────┘
                          │
        ┌─────────────────┼─────────────────┐
        │                 │                 │
┌───────▼────────┐ ┌──────▼───────┐ ┌───────▼────────┐
│  Engineering   │ │    Sales     │ │     Legal      │
│  Knowledge Base│ │ Knowledge Base│ │ Knowledge Base │
└───────┬────────┘ └──────┬───────┘ └───────┬────────┘
        │                 │                 │
        │                 │                 │
┌───────▼────────┐ ┌──────▼───────┐ ┌───────▼────────┐
│  Team-specific │ │ Team-specific│ │  Team-specific  │
│    Mementos    │ │   Mementos   │ │     Mementos    │
└────────────────┘ └──────────────┘ └─────────────────┘

Implementation Steps:

Create separate vector stores for each department or major knowledge domain
Configure team-based access control using Rememberizer's team functionality
Define mementos to control access to specific knowledge subsets
Implement role-based permissions for knowledge administrators and consumers

2. Integration Hub Architecture

For enterprises with existing systems, the hub-and-spoke pattern allows Rememberizer to act as a central knowledge repository:

       ┌─────────────┐               ┌─────────────┐
       │ CRM System  │               │  ERP System │
       └──────┬──────┘               └──────┬──────┘
              │                             │
              │                             │
              ▼                             ▼
       ┌──────────────────────────────────────────┐
       │                                          │
       │           Enterprise Service Bus         │
       │                                          │
       └────────────────────┬─────────────────────┘
                            │
                            ▼
                  ┌───────────────────┐
                  │   Rememberizer    │
                  │ Knowledge Platform│
                  └─────────┬─────────┘
                            │
          ┌─────────────────┴────────────────┐
          │                                  │
┌─────────▼──────────┐            ┌──────────▼────────┐
│ Internal Knowledge │            │ Customer Knowledge │
│      Base          │            │       Base         │
└────────────────────┘            └─────────────────────┘

Implementation Steps:

Create and configure API keys for system-to-system integration
Implement OAuth2 for user-based access to knowledge repositories
Set up ETL processes for regular knowledge synchronization
Use webhooks to notify external systems of knowledge updates

3. Microservices Architecture

For organizations adopting microservices, integrate Rememberizer as a specialized knowledge service:

┌─────────────┐  ┌─────────────┐  ┌─────────────┐  ┌─────────────┐
│ User Service│  │ Auth Service│  │ Data Service│  │ Search UI   │
└──────┬──────┘  └──────┬──────┘  └──────┬──────┘  └──────┬──────┘
       │                │                │                │
       └────────────────┼────────────────┼────────────────┘
                        │                │                  
                        ▼                ▼                  
               ┌─────────────────────────────────┐         
               │       API Gateway              │         
               └─────────────────┬─────────────┘         
                                 │                        
                                 ▼                        
                       ┌───────────────────┐              
                       │   Rememberizer    │              
                       │   Knowledge API   │              
                       └───────────────────┘

Implementation Steps:

Create dedicated service accounts for microservices integration
Implement JWT token-based authentication for service-to-service communication
Design idempotent API interactions for resilience
Implement circuit breakers for fault tolerance

Enterprise Security Patterns

Authentication & Authorization

Rememberizer supports multiple authentication methods suitable for enterprise environments:

1. OAuth2 Integration

For user-based access, implement the OAuth2 authorization flow:

// Step 1: Redirect users to Rememberizer authorization endpoint
function redirectToAuth() {
  const authUrl = 'https://api.rememberizer.ai/oauth/authorize/';
  const params = new URLSearchParams({
    client_id: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
    redirect_uri: 'YOUR_REDIRECT_URI',
    response_type: 'code',
    scope: 'read write'
  });
  
  window.location.href = `${authUrl}?${params.toString()}`;
}

// Step 2: Exchange authorization code for tokens
async function exchangeCodeForTokens(code) {
  const tokenUrl = 'https://api.rememberizer.ai/oauth/token/';
  const response = await fetch(tokenUrl, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      client_id: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
      client_secret: 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET',
      grant_type: 'authorization_code',
      code: code,
      redirect_uri: 'YOUR_REDIRECT_URI'
    })
  });
  
  return response.json();
}

2. Service Account Authentication

For system-to-system integration, use API key authentication:

import requests

def search_knowledge_base(query, api_key):
    headers = {
        'X-API-Key': api_key,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    }
    
    payload = {
        'query': query,
        'num_results': 10
    }
    
    response = requests.post(
        'https://api.rememberizer.ai/api/v1/search/',
        headers=headers,
        json=payload
    )
    
    return response.json()

3. SAML and Enterprise SSO

For enterprise single sign-on integration:

Configure your identity provider (Okta, Azure AD, etc.) to recognize Rememberizer as a service provider
Set up SAML attribute mapping to match Rememberizer user attributes
Configure Rememberizer to delegate authentication to your identity provider

Zero Trust Security Model

Implement a zero trust approach with Rememberizer by:

Micro-segmentation: Create separate knowledge bases with distinct access controls
Continuous Verification: Implement short-lived tokens and regular reauthentication
Least Privilege: Define fine-grained mementos that limit access to specific knowledge subsets
Event Logging: Monitor and audit all access to sensitive knowledge

Scalability Patterns

Batch Processing for Document Ingestion

For large-scale document ingestion, implement the batch upload pattern:

import requests
import time
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor

def batch_upload_documents(files, api_key, batch_size=5):
    """
    Upload documents in batches to avoid rate limits
    
    Args:
        files: List of file paths to upload
        api_key: Rememberizer API key
        batch_size: Number of concurrent uploads
    """
    headers = {
        'X-API-Key': api_key
    }
    
    results = []
    
    # Process files in batches
    with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=batch_size) as executor:
        for i in range(0, len(files), batch_size):
            batch = files[i:i+batch_size]
            futures = []
            
            # Submit batch of uploads
            for file_path in batch:
                with open(file_path, 'rb') as f:
                    files = {'file': f}
                    future = executor.submit(
                        requests.post,
                        'https://api.rememberizer.ai/api/v1/documents/upload/',
                        headers=headers,
                        files=files
                    )
                    futures.append(future)
            
            # Collect results
            for future in futures:
                response = future.result()
                results.append(response.json())
            
            # Rate limiting - pause between batches
            if i + batch_size < len(files):
                time.sleep(1)
    
    return results

High-Volume Search Operations

For applications requiring high-volume search:

async function batchSearchWithRateLimit(queries, apiKey, options = {}) {
  const {
    batchSize = 5,
    delayBetweenBatches = 1000,
    maxRetries = 3,
    retryDelay = 2000
  } = options;
  
  const results = [];
  
  // Process queries in batches
  for (let i = 0; i < queries.length; i += batchSize) {
    const batch = queries.slice(i, i + batchSize);
    const batchPromises = batch.map(query => searchWithRetry(query, apiKey, maxRetries, retryDelay));
    
    // Execute batch
    const batchResults = await Promise.all(batchPromises);
    results.push(...batchResults);
    
    // Apply rate limiting between batches
    if (i + batchSize < queries.length) {
      await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, delayBetweenBatches));
    }
  }
  
  return results;
}

async function searchWithRetry(query, apiKey, maxRetries, retryDelay) {
  let retries = 0;
  
  while (retries < maxRetries) {
    try {
      const response = await fetch('https://api.rememberizer.ai/api/v1/search/', {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
          'X-API-Key': apiKey,
          'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        },
        body: JSON.stringify({ query })
      });
      
      if (response.ok) {
        return response.json();
      }
      
      // Handle rate limiting specifically
      if (response.status === 429) {
        const retryAfter = response.headers.get('Retry-After') || retryDelay / 1000;
        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, retryAfter * 1000));
        retries++;
        continue;
      }
      
      // Other errors
      throw new Error(`Search failed with status: ${response.status}`);
    } catch (error) {
      retries++;
      if (retries >= maxRetries) {
        throw error;
      }
      await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, retryDelay));
    }
  }
}

Team-Based Knowledge Management

Rememberizer supports team-based knowledge management, enabling enterprises to:

Create team workspaces: Organize knowledge by department or function
Assign role-based permissions: Control who can view, edit, or administer knowledge
Share knowledge across teams: Configure cross-team access to specific knowledge bases

Team Roles and Permissions

Rememberizer supports the following team roles:

Role

Capabilities

Owner

Full administrative access, can manage team members and all knowledge

Admin

Can manage knowledge and configure mementos, but cannot manage the team itself

Member

Can view and search knowledge according to memento permissions

import requests

def create_team_knowledge_base(team_id, name, description, api_key):
    """
    Create a knowledge base for a specific team
    """
    headers = {
        'X-API-Key': api_key,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    }
    
    payload = {
        'team_id': team_id,
        'name': name,
        'description': description
    }
    
    response = requests.post(
        'https://api.rememberizer.ai/api/v1/teams/knowledge/',
        headers=headers,
        json=payload
    )
    
    return response.json()

def grant_team_access(knowledge_id, team_id, permission_level, api_key):
    """
    Grant a team access to a knowledge base
    
    Args:
        knowledge_id: ID of the knowledge base
        team_id: ID of the team to grant access
        permission_level: 'read', 'write', or 'admin'
        api_key: Rememberizer API key
    """
    headers = {
        'X-API-Key': api_key,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    }
    
    payload = {
        'team_id': team_id,
        'knowledge_id': knowledge_id,
        'permission': permission_level
    }
    
    response = requests.post(
        'https://api.rememberizer.ai/api/v1/knowledge/permissions/',
        headers=headers,
        json=payload
    )
    
    return response.json()

Enterprise Integration Best Practices

1. Implement Robust Error Handling

Design your integration to handle various error scenarios gracefully:

async function robustApiCall(endpoint, method, payload, apiKey) {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(`https://api.rememberizer.ai/api/v1/${endpoint}`, {
      method,
      headers: {
        'X-API-Key': apiKey,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      },
      body: method !== 'GET' ? JSON.stringify(payload) : undefined
    });
    
    // Handle different response types
    if (response.status === 204) {
      return { success: true };
    }
    
    if (!response.ok) {
      const error = await response.json();
      throw new Error(error.message || `API call failed with status: ${response.status}`);
    }
    
    return await response.json();
  } catch (error) {
    // Log error details for troubleshooting
    console.error(`API call to ${endpoint} failed:`, error);
    
    // Provide meaningful error to calling code
    throw new Error(`Failed to ${method} ${endpoint}: ${error.message}`);
  }
}

2. Implement Caching for Frequently Accessed Knowledge

Reduce API load and improve performance with appropriate caching:

import requests
import time
from functools import lru_cache

# Cache frequently accessed documents for 10 minutes
@lru_cache(maxsize=100)
def get_document_with_cache(document_id, api_key, timestamp=None):
    """
    Get a document with caching
    
    Args:
        document_id: ID of the document to retrieve
        api_key: Rememberizer API key
        timestamp: Cache invalidation timestamp (default: 10 min chunks)
    """
    # Generate a timestamp that changes every 10 minutes for cache invalidation
    if timestamp is None:
        timestamp = int(time.time() / 600)
    
    headers = {
        'X-API-Key': api_key
    }
    
    response = requests.get(
        f'https://api.rememberizer.ai/api/v1/documents/{document_id}/',
        headers=headers
    )
    
    return response.json()

3. Implement Asynchronous Processing for Document Uploads

For large document sets, implement asynchronous processing:

async function uploadLargeDocument(file, apiKey) {
  // Step 1: Initiate upload
  const initResponse = await fetch('https://api.rememberizer.ai/api/v1/documents/upload-async/', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'X-API-Key': apiKey,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      filename: file.name,
      filesize: file.size,
      content_type: file.type
    })
  });
  
  const { upload_id, upload_url } = await initResponse.json();
  
  // Step 2: Upload file to the provided URL
  await fetch(upload_url, {
    method: 'PUT',
    body: file
  });
  
  // Step 3: Monitor processing status
  const processingId = await initiateProcessing(upload_id, apiKey);
  return monitorProcessingStatus(processingId, apiKey);
}

async function initiateProcessing(uploadId, apiKey) {
  const response = await fetch('https://api.rememberizer.ai/api/v1/documents/process/', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'X-API-Key': apiKey,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      upload_id: uploadId
    })
  });
  
  const { processing_id } = await response.json();
  return processing_id;
}

async function monitorProcessingStatus(processingId, apiKey, interval = 2000) {
  while (true) {
    const statusResponse = await fetch(`https://api.rememberizer.ai/api/v1/documents/process-status/${processingId}/`, {
      headers: {
        'X-API-Key': apiKey
      }
    });
    
    const status = await statusResponse.json();
    
    if (status.status === 'completed') {
      return status.document_id;
    } else if (status.status === 'failed') {
      throw new Error(`Processing failed: ${status.error}`);
    }
    
    // Wait before checking again
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, interval));
  }
}

4. Implement Proper Rate Limiting

Respect API rate limits to ensure reliable operation:

import requests
import time
from functools import wraps

class RateLimiter:
    def __init__(self, calls_per_second=5):
        self.calls_per_second = calls_per_second
        self.last_call_time = 0
        self.min_interval = 1.0 / calls_per_second
    
    def __call__(self, func):
        @wraps(func)
        def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
            current_time = time.time()
            time_since_last_call = current_time - self.last_call_time
            
            if time_since_last_call < self.min_interval:
                sleep_time = self.min_interval - time_since_last_call
                time.sleep(sleep_time)
            
            self.last_call_time = time.time()
            return func(*args, **kwargs)
        
        return wrapper

# Apply rate limiting to API calls
@RateLimiter(calls_per_second=5)
def search_documents(query, api_key):
    headers = {
        'X-API-Key': api_key,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    }
    
    payload = {
        'query': query
    }
    
    response = requests.post(
        'https://api.rememberizer.ai/api/v1/search/',
        headers=headers,
        json=payload
    )
    
    return response.json()

Compliance Considerations

Data Residency

For organizations with data residency requirements:

Choose appropriate region: Select Rememberizer deployments in compliant regions
Document data flows: Map where knowledge is stored and processed
Implement filtering: Use mementos to restrict sensitive data access

Audit Logging

Implement comprehensive audit logging for compliance:

import requests
import json
import logging

# Configure logging
logging.basicConfig(
    level=logging.INFO,
    format='%(asctime)s [%(levelname)s] %(message)s',
    handlers=[
        logging.FileHandler('rememberizer_audit.log'),
        logging.StreamHandler()
    ]
)

def audit_log_api_call(endpoint, method, user_id, result_status):
    """
    Log API call details for audit purposes
    """
    log_entry = {
        'timestamp': time.time(),
        'endpoint': endpoint,
        'method': method,
        'user_id': user_id,
        'status': result_status
    }
    
    logging.info(f"API CALL: {json.dumps(log_entry)}")

def search_with_audit(query, api_key, user_id):
    endpoint = 'search'
    method = 'POST'
    
    try:
        headers = {
            'X-API-Key': api_key,
            'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        }
        
        payload = {
            'query': query
        }
        
        response = requests.post(
            'https://api.rememberizer.ai/api/v1/search/',
            headers=headers,
            json=payload
