Purpose

The deployment API can only override a fixed set of metadata keys
(endpointUrl, vhostMain, vhostSandbox), promoting an existing deployment
onto a gateway reuses the base artifact without adapting it to the target
gateway's schema version, and external plugins have no typed access to the
deployment lifecycle. This change makes per-deployment customization open-ended,
makes cross-version promotion safe, and exposes deploy/read/undeploy to plugins
alongside the existing Gateways and Projects capabilities.

Goals

  • Let a caller customize any field of an API's config for a single deployment,
    without adding a new field per customization.
  • Make promoting an existing deployment onto a gateway of a different data
    version produce a valid artifact, without re-reading the API definition.
  • Expose the deployment lifecycle on pdk.Deps for external plugins.

Approach

  • DeployRequest.overrides: an optional structured override document
    deep-merged onto the resolved deployment definition before it is sent to the
    gateway, and persisted with the deployment so it can be read back and carried
    forward when the deployment is used as a promotion base. The existing
    endpointUrl/vhost metadata overrides are unchanged.
  • Promotion (base = an existing deployment) now re-translates the base
    deployment's already-rendered artifact to the target gateway's data version,
    so promoting across gateways on different versions yields a valid artifact.
    The base API definition is never re-read: the source data version is computed
    from the base artifact's own apiVersion, and only the immutable artifact
    Kind is read from the API record.
  • pdk.Deps.Deployments capability (DeployAPIByHandle,
    GetDeploymentsByHandle, GetDeploymentByHandle,
    UndeployDeploymentByHandle), satisfied verbatim by DeploymentService,
    mirroring the existing Gateways/Projects capabilities.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds persisted deployment overrides, deep-merges overrides during deployment promotion, exposes deployment operations through the PDK, and updates generated API models for MCP requests, secrets, and documentation.

Changes

Deployment override flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Override contract and metadata
platform-api/resources/openapi.yaml, platform-api/api/generated.go, platform-api/internal/constants/constants.go
Deployment requests now accept optional overrides. Applied overrides use the overrides metadata key.
PDK deployment capability
platform-api/pdk/deps.go, platform-api/internal/server/server.go
The PDK exposes deployment operations, and the platform server wires deploymentService into pdk.Deps.
Artifact promotion and generic merging
platform-api/internal/service/deployment.go
Promoted artifacts are decoded, translated to the target gateway version, structurally overridden, deep-merged with generic overrides, and persisted with override metadata.
Override behavior tests
platform-api/internal/service/deployment_test.go
Tests cover base overrides, invalid YAML, recursive merges, scalar replacement, new keys, and preservation of unchanged fields.

Generated API model updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Request unions and nullable values
platform-api/api/generated.go
MCPServerInfoFetchRequest adds union helpers and custom JSON handling. Secret values become nullable pointers.
Generated API documentation corrections
platform-api/api/generated.go
Generated comments clarify provider context and deployment-status filtering.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 8e3b0

The change adds caller-controlled deployment URL overrides without sufficient protection against private, loopback, and metadata destinations, potentially exposing internal services or stored credentials; this high-impact security risk should be fixed before merge. Promotion can also lose inherited override metadata.

Prevent generic overrides from bypassing URL SSRF controls.

mergeGenericOverrides accepts caller-controlled spec.upstream.main.url and persists it in the deployment artifact. The gateway converts this value into an Envoy STRICT_DNS cluster without resolved-IP checks. Validate override URLs against the configured backend allowlist and block private, loopback, link-local, and metadata IPs at dial time.

Retain inherited override metadata during promotion.

Line 313 persists only req.Overrides. When a deployment is promoted without new overrides, metadata does not receive baseDeployment.Metadata[constants.MetadataKeyOverrides].

The rendered content can retain the effective values, but deployment retrieval no longer returns the original override document. Initialize the new metadata from the base override document, then deep-merge any new request overrides before persistence.

Extend the deploy path so a caller can customize any field of an API's
config for a single deployment, promote an existing deployment across
gateways, and expose deployment deploy/read/undeploy to plugins.

- DeployRequest gains an optional `overrides` document that is deep-merged
  onto the resolved deployment definition before it is sent to the gateway,
  and is persisted with the deployment (so it can be read back and carried
  forward when the deployment is used as a promotion base). The existing
  endpointUrl/vhost metadata overrides are unchanged. An override that targets
  an immutable identity field (apiVersion, kind, metadata.name, spec.context,
  spec.version, spec.operations, spec.channels) is rejected, so a customization
  can never repoint or redefine the API — only customize a deployment of it.
- Promotion (base = an existing deployment) re-translates the base
  deployment's rendered artifact to the target gateway's data version, so
  promoting across gateways on different versions yields a valid artifact.
  The base API definition is never re-read: the source data version is
  computed from the base artifact's own apiVersion, and only the immutable
  artifact Kind is taken from the API record.
- pdk.Deps gains a Deployments capability (DeployAPIByHandle,
  GetDeploymentsByHandle, GetDeploymentByHandle, UndeployDeploymentByHandle),
  satisfied verbatim by DeploymentService.

Updated (force-push): the override now rejects an override that targets an immutable identity field (apiVersion, kind, metadata.name, spec.context, spec.version, spec.operations, spec.channels), so a customization can only customize a deployment of an API — never repoint or redefine it. Covered by TestMergeGenericOverrides_ProtectsImmutableFields.
