Architecture Decisions ​

1. Rich Domain Models with Complex Analytics Logic ​

The Analytics module employs sophisticated domain models that encapsulate complex business intelligence operations:

php
// Metric model with advanced calculation capabilities
class Metric extends BaseEntity
{
    public function calculate(): float
    {
        $this->authorizeAction('calculate-metric', $this);
        
        if (!$this->is_active) {
            throw InvalidMetricConfigurationException::metricNotActive();
        }
        
        $previousValue = $this->current_value;
        $newValue = $this->executeCalculation();
        
        $this->current_value = $newValue;
        $this->last_calculated_at = now();
        $this->scheduleNextCalculation();
        
        // Check thresholds and trigger alerts
        $this->checkThresholds($previousValue, $newValue);
        
        MetricCalculated::dispatch(
            $this->getId(),
            $newValue,
            $previousValue,
            now()
        );
        
        $this->save();
        return $newValue;
    }
    
    public function getStatus(): string
    {
        if (!$this->current_value || empty($this->thresholds)) {
            return 'unknown';
        }
        
        $value = $this->current_value;
        $thresholds = $this->thresholds;
        
        if (isset($thresholds['critical']) && $value >= $thresholds['critical']) {
            return 'critical';
        }
        
        if (isset($thresholds['warning']) && $value >= $thresholds['warning']) {
            return 'warning';
        }
        
        return 'normal';
    }
}

2. Domain Services for Complex Analytics Operations ​

Domain services handle sophisticated business intelligence operations that span multiple entities:

php
class MetricCalculationService
{
    public function calculateMetric(
        Metric $metric,
        \DateTimeInterface $startDate = null,
        \DateTimeInterface $endDate = null,
        array $filters = []
    ): array {
        $this->validateMetricConfiguration($metric);
        
        $rawData = $this->fetchMetricData($metric, $startDate, $endDate, $filters);
        $calculatedValue = $this->performCalculation($metric, $rawData);
        $metadata = $this->generateCalculationMetadata($metric, $rawData, $calculatedValue);
        
        $result = [
            'metric_id' => $metric->id,
            'calculated_value' => $calculatedValue,
            'previous_value' => $this->getPreviousValue($metric, $startDate, $endDate),
            'change_percentage' => $this->calculateChangePercentage($calculatedValue, $previousValue),
            'data_points' => count($rawData),
            'metadata' => $metadata,
            'calculated_at' => now(),
        ];
        
        // Check thresholds and fire events
        $thresholdCheck = $this->checkThresholds($metric, $calculatedValue);
        if ($thresholdCheck['exceeded']) {
            MetricThresholdExceeded::dispatch($metric, $calculatedValue, $thresholdCheck);
        }
        
        return $result;
    }
    
    public function calculateTimeSeriesData(
        Metric $metric,
        \DateTimeInterface $startDate,
        \DateTimeInterface $endDate,
        string $granularity = 'daily'
    ): array {
        $timeIntervals = $this->generateTimeIntervals($startDate, $endDate, $granularity);
        $timeSeriesData = [];
        
        foreach ($timeIntervals as $interval) {
            $rawData = $this->fetchMetricData($metric, $interval['start'], $interval['end']);
            $value = $this->performCalculation($metric, $rawData);
            
            $timeSeriesData[] = [
                'timestamp' => $interval['start'],
                'value' => $value,
                'data_points' => count($rawData),
            ];
        }
        
        return [
            'metric_id' => $metric->id,
            'time_series' => $timeSeriesData,
            'statistics' => $this->calculateTimeSeriesStatistics($timeSeriesData),
        ];
    }
}

3. Complex Value Objects for Analytics Concepts ​

Value objects encapsulate analytics-specific business concepts with validation:

php
// Metric Configuration value object with sophisticated validation
class MetricConfiguration
{
    public function __construct(
        private string $dataSource,
        private string $query,
        private array $aggregations = [],
        private array $filters = [],
        private array $groupBy = [],
        private ?string $timeField = null,
        private ?string $valueField = null,
        private array $customFormula = []
    ) {
        $this->validateConfiguration();
    }
    
    public function isValid(): bool
    {
        return !empty($this->dataSource) && 
               !empty($this->query) && 
               $this->validateQuery();
    }
    
    private function validateQuery(): bool
    {
        // Complex query validation logic
        return true;
    }
    
    public function toArray(): array
    {
        return [
            'data_source' => $this->dataSource,
            'query' => $this->query,
            'aggregations' => $this->aggregations,
            'filters' => $this->filters,
            'group_by' => $this->groupBy,
            'time_field' => $this->timeField,
            'value_field' => $this->valueField,
            'custom_formula' => $this->customFormula,
        ];
    }
}

// Alert Condition value object for threshold management
class AlertCondition
{
    public function __construct(
        private string $operator,
        private float $threshold,
        private string $severity = 'medium',
        private ?int $consecutivePeriods = null,
        private ?float $changePercentage = null
    ) {
        $this->validateCondition();
    }
    
    public function evaluate(float $currentValue, ?float $previousValue = null): bool
    {
        return match($this->operator) {
            'greater_than' => $currentValue > $this->threshold,
            'less_than' => $currentValue < $this->threshold,
            'equals' => abs($currentValue - $this->threshold) < 0.001,
            'percentage_change' => $this->evaluatePercentageChange($currentValue, $previousValue),
            default => false
        };
    }
}

4. Event-Driven Real-Time Analytics ​

The module leverages Laravel's event system for real-time analytics and monitoring:

php
// Dashboard model with real-time updates
protected static function boot()
{
    parent::boot();
    
    static::created(function ($dashboard) {
        DashboardCreated::dispatch(
            $dashboard->id,
            $dashboard->name,
            $dashboard->type,
            $dashboard->created_by
        );
    });
    
    static::updated(function ($dashboard) {
        if ($dashboard->wasChanged(['layout', 'widgets'])) {
            DashboardUpdated::dispatch(
                $dashboard->id,
                $dashboard->getChanges()
            );
            
            // Trigger widget data refresh
            foreach ($dashboard->widgets as $widget) {
                WidgetDataRefreshed::dispatch($widget->id);
            }
        }
    });
}
