+# FODC Proxy Development Design
+
+## Overview
+
+The FODC Proxy is the central control plane and data aggregator for the First
Occurrence Data Collection (FODC) infrastructure. It acts as a unified gateway
that aggregates observability data from multiple FODC Agents (each co-located
with a BanyanDB node) and exposes ecosystem-friendly interfaces to external
systems such as Prometheus and other observability platforms.
+
+The Proxy provides:
+
+1. **Agent Management**: Registration, health monitoring, and lifecycle
management of FODC Agents
+2. **Metrics Aggregation**: Collects and aggregates metrics from all agents
with enriched metadata
+3. **Cluster Topology**: Maintains an up-to-date view of cluster topology,
roles, and node states
+4. **Configuration Collection**: Aggregates and exposes node configurations
for consistency verification
+
+### Responsibilities
+
+**FODC Proxy Core Responsibilities**
+- Accept bi-directional gRPC connections from FODC Agents
+- Register and track agent lifecycle (online/offline, heartbeat monitoring)
+- Aggregate metrics from all agents with node metadata enrichment
+- Maintain cluster topology view based on agent registrations
+- Collect and expose node configurations for audit and consistency checks
+- Expose unified REST/Prometheus-style interfaces for external consumption
+- Provide proxy-level metrics (health, agent count, RPC latency, etc.)
+
+## Component Design
+
+### 1. Proxy Components
+
+#### 1.1 Agent Registry Component
+
+**Purpose**: Manages the lifecycle and state of all connected FODC Agents
+
+##### Core Responsibilities
+
+- **Agent Registration**: Accepts agent registration requests via gRPC
+- **Health Monitoring**: Tracks agent heartbeat and connection status
+- **State Management**: Maintains agent state (online/offline, last heartbeat
time)
+- **Topology Building**: Aggregates agent registrations into cluster topology
view
+- **Connection Management**: Handles connection failures, reconnections, and
cleanup
+
+##### Core Types
+
+**`AgentInfo`**
+```go
+type AgentInfo struct {
+ NodeID string // Unique node identifier
+ NodeRole databasev1.Role // Node role (liaison,
datanode-hot, etc.)
+ Address string // Agent gRPC address
