# Phase 3: Database and Service Optimization

## Overview

Phase 3 implements database connection pooling, query caching, and eager loading to improve query performance by 50% or more.

**Status**: ✅ Implementation Complete

**Target**: 50% improvement in query performance
**Achieved**: Measured via benchmark suite

---

## Components Implemented

### 1. DatabaseManager (`database_manager.py`)

Singleton database manager with async connection pooling.

**Features**:
- Async SQLAlchemy engine with `AsyncAdaptedQueuePool`
- Pool settings: `pool_size=10`, `max_overflow=20`
- Connection recycling: 3600 seconds (1 hour)
- Pre-ping health checks
- Query performance instrumentation

**Usage**:
```python
from tracertm.mcp.database_manager import get_database_manager

# Get singleton instance
db_manager = await get_database_manager()

# Use connection from pool
async with db_manager.session() as session:
    result = await session.execute(query)
    await session.commit()

# Check pool status
pool_status = await db_manager.get_pool_status()
# Returns: {"size": 10, "checked_out": 3, "overflow": 2, "checked_in": 7}
```

**Performance Tracking**:
```python
# Get query metrics
health = await db_manager.health_check()
# Returns:
# {
#   "status": "healthy",
#   "version": "PostgreSQL 14.5",
#   "pool": {...},
#   "queries": {
#     "total_queries": 1234,
#     "avg_duration_ms": 45.2,
#     "slow_queries_count": 12,
#     "recent_slow_queries": [...]
#   }
# }
```

---

### 2. QueryCache (`cache.py`)

Thread-safe in-memory cache with TTL and LRU eviction.

**Features**:
- Default TTL: 5 minutes (configurable)
- Max size: 1000 entries (LRU eviction)
- Pattern-based invalidation
- Cache hit/miss statistics

**Usage**:
```python
from tracertm.mcp.cache import get_query_cache

cache = get_query_cache()

# Cache a value
await cache.set("project_list", projects, ttl=300, user_id="123")

# Get from cache
projects = await cache.get("project_list", user_id="123")

# Get or compute
projects = await cache.get_or_compute(
    "project_list",
    lambda: fetch_projects(),
    ttl=300,
    user_id="123"
)

# Invalidate by pattern
await cache.invalidate("project_")  # Invalidates all project_* entries
await cache.invalidate()  # Clear all

# Get statistics
stats = cache.get_stats()
# Returns:
# {
#   "size": 234,
#   "max_size": 1000,
#   "hits": 890,
#   "misses": 120,
#   "hit_rate": 0.881,
#   "total_requests": 1010
# }
```

---

### 3. QueryOptimizer (`query_optimizer.py`)

Optimized query patterns with eager loading to avoid N+1 queries.

**N+1 Problem**:
```python
# ❌ BAD: N+1 queries (1 + N)
items = await session.execute(select(Item).limit(50))
for item in items:
    links = item.source_links  # Triggers separate query for EACH item
    # 1 query for items + 50 queries for links = 51 queries total
```

**Solution: Eager Loading**:
```python
# ✅ GOOD: Single query with join (1 query)
from tracertm.mcp.query_optimizer import QueryOptimizer

items = await QueryOptimizer.get_items_with_links(
    session,
    project_id="proj-123",
    limit=50
)
for item in items:
    links = item.source_links  # Already loaded, no extra query!
    # 1 query total (uses JOIN or subquery)
```

**Available Optimizers**:

1. **Get items with links**:
```python
items = await QueryOptimizer.get_items_with_links(
    session,
    project_id="proj-123",
    view="FEATURE",
    status="active",
    limit=50
)
# Eager loads: source_links, target_links
```

2. **Get links with items**:
```python
links = await QueryOptimizer.get_links_with_items(
    session,
    project_id="proj-123",
    link_type="implements",
    limit=50
)
# Eager loads: source_item, target_item
```

3. **Get item with hierarchy**:
```python
item = await QueryOptimizer.get_item_with_hierarchy(
    session,
    item_id="item-123",
    project_id="proj-123"
)
# Eager loads: parent, children
```

4. **Batch get items**:
```python
items_dict = await QueryOptimizer.batch_get_items(
    session,
    item_ids=["id1", "id2", "id3", ...],
    project_id="proj-123"
)
# Returns: {"id1": <Item>, "id2": <Item>, ...}
# More efficient than N separate queries
```

5. **Get traceability graph**:
```python
items, links = await QueryOptimizer.get_traceability_graph(
    session,
    project_id="proj-123",
    source_view="REQUIREMENT",
    target_view="TEST"
)
# Returns complete graph with all relationships loaded
```

### 4. Async Base Utilities (`tools/base_async.py`)

Async versions of base utilities for tools.

**Usage in Tools**:
```python
from tracertm.mcp.tools.base_async import (
    get_async_session,
    cached_query,
    invalidate_cache,
    require_project,
    wrap_success
)

@mcp.tool()
async def my_optimized_tool(ctx: Context | None = None):
    project_id = require_project()

    # Use cached query
    async def _fetch_data():
        async with get_async_session() as session:
            result = await session.execute(query)
            return result.scalars().all()

    data = await cached_query(
        "my_data",
        _fetch_data,
        ttl=300,
        project_id=project_id
    )

    return wrap_success(data, "my_tool", ctx)
```

---

### 5. Example Optimized Tools (`tools/items_phase3.py`)

Reference implementation showing all optimizations.

**Tools**:
- `create_item_phase3`: Creates item + invalidates cache
- `get_item_phase3`: Fetches with eager loading + caching
- `query_items_phase3`: Queries with caching + eager loading
- `get_db_metrics_phase3`: Returns performance metrics

## Performance Improvements

### Connection Pooling

**Before** (no pooling):
- New connection for every query
- Connection overhead: ~50-100ms per query
- No connection reuse

**After** (with pooling):
- Reuses connections from pool
- Connection overhead: ~1-2ms (just checkout time)
- **Improvement**: ~50-100ms saved per query

### Query Caching

**Cache Hit Scenario**:
- Database query: ~50ms
- Cache lookup: ~0.1ms
- **Improvement**: ~50ms saved (99.8% faster)

**Typical Hit Rate**: 70-90% for read-heavy workloads

### Eager Loading

**N+1 Query Problem**:
```
Query 1: SELECT * FROM items LIMIT 50          -- 20ms
Query 2: SELECT * FROM links WHERE source=id1  -- 5ms
Query 3: SELECT * FROM links WHERE source=id2  -- 5ms
...
Query 51: SELECT * FROM links WHERE source=id50 -- 5ms
Total: 20ms + (50 × 5ms) = 270ms
```

**With Eager Loading**:
```
Query 1: SELECT items.*, links.*
         FROM items
         LEFT JOIN links ON ...
         WHERE items.id IN (...)
Total: 35ms (single query with join)
```

**Improvement**: 270ms → 35ms = **87% faster**

## Query Performance Monitoring

### 1. Check Pool Status

```python
from tracertm.mcp.database_manager import get_database_manager

db_manager = await get_database_manager()
status = await db_manager.get_pool_status()

print(f"Pool size: {status['size']}")
print(f"Checked out: {status['checked_out']}")
print(f"Available: {status['checked_in']}")
```

### 2. Track Slow Queries

All queries >100ms are automatically logged:

```python
health = await db_manager.health_check()
slow_queries = health["queries"]["recent_slow_queries"]

for sq in slow_queries:
    print(f"Query: {sq['query'][:100]}...")
    print(f"Duration: {sq['duration_ms']}ms")
    print(f"Params: {sq['params']}")
```

### 3. Cache Statistics

```python
from tracertm.mcp.cache import get_query_cache

cache = get_query_cache()
stats = cache.get_stats()

print(f"Hit rate: {stats['hit_rate']:.1%}")
print(f"Cache size: {stats['size']}/{stats['max_size']}")
```

---

## Database Indexes

To maximize query performance, ensure these indexes exist:

```sql
-- Items table
CREATE INDEX idx_items_project_view ON items(project_id, view);
CREATE INDEX idx_items_status ON items(status) WHERE deleted_at IS NULL;
CREATE INDEX idx_items_external_id ON items(external_id);

-- Links table
CREATE INDEX idx_links_source ON links(source_item_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_links_target ON links(target_item_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_links_project_type ON links(project_id, link_type);

-- Projects table
CREATE INDEX idx_projects_created ON projects(created_at DESC);
```

## Migration Guide

### Converting Existing Tools

**Before** (sync, no pooling):
```python
from tracertm.mcp.tools.base import get_session

@mcp.tool()
def my_tool():
    with get_session() as session:
        items = session.query(Item).filter(...).all()
        return {"items": items}
```

**After** (async, pooled, cached):
```python
from tracertm.mcp.tools.base_async import (
    get_async_session,
    cached_query
)

@mcp.tool()
async def my_tool():
    async def _fetch():
        async with get_async_session() as session:
            result = await session.execute(
                select(Item).where(...)
            )
            return result.scalars().all()

    items = await cached_query("my_tool", _fetch, ttl=300)
    return {"items": items}
```

### Cache Invalidation on Writes

```python
from tracertm.mcp.tools.base_async import invalidate_cache

@mcp.tool()
async def update_item(item_id: str):
    async with get_async_session() as session:
        # ... update logic ...
        await session.commit()

    # Invalidate relevant caches
    invalidate_cache("item_")  # All item queries
    invalidate_cache("project_list")  # Project list if needed
```

---

## Best Practices

1. **Use async sessions**: Always use `get_async_session()` for new code
2. **Cache read queries**: Use `cached_query()` for frequently accessed data
3. **Invalidate on write**: Call `invalidate_cache()` after mutations
4. **Eager load relationships**: Use `QueryOptimizer` when accessing related data
5. **Monitor performance**: Use `get_db_metrics_phase3()` to track improvements
6. **Set appropriate TTL**: Short TTL (60s) for dynamic data, long (300s) for static

---

## Testing

Run tests to verify optimizations:

```bash
# Unit tests
pytest tests/unit/mcp/test_database_manager.py
pytest tests/unit/mcp/test_cache.py
pytest tests/unit/mcp/test_query_optimizer.py

# Benchmark
python -m tracertm.mcp.db_benchmark <db_url> <project_id>
```

## Troubleshooting

### Issue: "Not connected" error
**Solution**: Ensure DatabaseManager is initialized:
```python
from tracertm.mcp.database_manager import get_database_manager
db_manager = await get_database_manager()
await db_manager.initialize()
```

### Issue: Cache not invalidating
**Solution**: Check invalidation patterns:
```python
# Invalidate specific prefix
invalidate_cache("item_query_")

# Or clear all
invalidate_cache()
```

### Issue: Slow queries still occurring
**Solution**: Check indexes and use eager loading:
```python
# Add indexes (see Database Indexes section)
# Use QueryOptimizer instead of manual queries
```
