## Usage Examples

### Basic Initialization

```go
package main

import (
    "github.com/kooshapari/tracertm-backend/internal/config"
    "github.com/kooshapari/tracertm-backend/internal/embeddings"
    "github.com/kooshapari/tracertm-backend/internal/search"
)

func main() {
    cfg := config.LoadConfig()
    pool := setupDatabase(cfg)

    // Initialize embeddings (one-line setup)
    provider, reranker, indexer, err := embeddings.SetupEmbeddings(cfg, pool)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    defer indexer.Stop()

    // Create search engine
    searchEngine := search.NewSearchEngineWithConfig(&search.SearchEngineConfig{
        Pool:              pool,
        EmbeddingProvider: provider,
        Reranker:          reranker,
        RerankEnabled:     true,
    })

    // Use search
    results, _ := searchEngine.Search(ctx, &search.SearchRequest{
        Query: "user authentication",
        Type:  search.SearchTypeHybrid,
        Limit: 20,
    })
}
```

### Manual Embedding

```go
// Generate embeddings
req := &embeddings.EmbeddingRequest{
    Texts:     []string{"document 1", "document 2"},
    InputType: "document",
}

resp, err := provider.Embed(ctx, req)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

// Access results
for i, emb := range resp.Embeddings {
    fmt.Printf("Doc %d: %d dims, cost: $%.6f\n",
        i, len(emb), resp.Usage.CostUSD)
}
```

### Reranking

```go
// Prepare documents
docs := []embeddings.Document{
    {Text: "Machine learning basics"},
    {Text: "Weather forecast"},
    {Text: "Deep learning tutorial"},
}

// Rerank by relevance
resp, err := reranker.Rerank(ctx, &embeddings.RerankRequest{
    Query:     "machine learning",
    Documents: docs,
    TopK:      2,
})

// Results are sorted by relevance
for _, r := range resp.Results {
    fmt.Printf("Doc %d: score %.4f\n", r.Index, r.RelevanceScore)
}
```

### Indexer Monitoring

```go
// Get statistics
stats := indexer.GetStats()
fmt.Printf("Processed: %d items\n", stats.TotalProcessed)
fmt.Printf("Errors: %d\n", stats.TotalErrors)
fmt.Printf("Queue: %d items\n", stats.CurrentQueueSize)
fmt.Printf("Cost: $%.4f\n", stats.TotalCostUSD)
fmt.Printf("Avg Latency: %v\n", stats.AverageLatency)

// Manual reindex
err := indexer.ReindexProject(ctx, projectID)
```

## Performance Benchmarks

```
BenchmarkVectorToString-8    1000000    1123 ns/op    2048 B/op    2 allocs/op

```

## Cost Estimation

### Example Workload: 10,000 Documents

**Initial Indexing:**
- 10,000 items × 500 tokens avg = 5M tokens
- VoyageAI voyage-3.5: 5M × $0.06/1M = **$0.30**

**Daily Operations (1,000 searches, 20 results each):**
- Query embeddings: 1,000 × 10 tokens = 10K tokens = $0.0006
- Reranking: 1,000 × 20 docs × 100 tokens = 2M tokens = $0.10
- **Daily cost: $0.10**

**Monthly Cost:**
- **$3.00/month + $0.30 one-time indexing = $3.30**

**With Free Tier:**
- 200M free tokens = ~167K documents or ~67K searches with reranking
- Most small-to-medium projects stay within free tier!

## Production Deployment

### Prerequisites
- PostgreSQL with pgvector extension
- Valid API key (VoyageAI or OpenRouter)
- Go 1.23+

### Deployment Steps

1. **Database Setup:**
   ```bash
   psql -U user -d tracertm < setup_pgvector.sql
   ```

2. **Environment Configuration:**
   ```bash
   cp .env.example .env
   # Edit .env with your API keys
   ```

3. **Build & Run:**
   ```bash
   cd backend
   go build -o tracertm
   ./tracertm
   ```

4. **Verify:**
   ```bash
   # Health check
   curl http://localhost:8080/health

   # Test search
   curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/search \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"query": "test", "type": "hybrid"}'
   ```

### Monitoring

- **Health Endpoint**: `/health` - Check provider and indexer status
- **Admin Stats**: `/api/admin/indexer/stats` - Indexer metrics
- **Logs**: Detailed logging in development mode

## Performance Tuning

### High Volume (>100K documents)

```env
INDEXER_WORKERS=5
INDEXER_BATCH_SIZE=100
EMBEDDING_RATE_LIMIT=600  # If you have higher tier
```

### Low Latency

```env
RERANK_ENABLED=false       # Disable reranking
INDEXER_POLL_INTERVAL=60   # Less frequent polls
```

### Cost Optimization

```env
VOYAGE_MODEL=voyage-3.5    # Use cheaper model
RERANK_ENABLED=false       # Disable reranking
EMBEDDING_PROVIDER=openrouter  # Use text-embedding-3-small
```

## Troubleshooting

### Issue: Tests fail without API keys
**Solution:** Integration tests are skipped automatically if API keys aren't set. Unit tests should all pass.

### Issue: Embeddings not generating
**Check:**
1. API key is set correctly
2. Indexer is running: `indexer.IsRunning()`
3. Database has pgvector extension
4. Items without embeddings: `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM items WHERE embedding IS NULL;`

### Issue: Rate limit errors
**Solution:**
```env
EMBEDDING_RATE_LIMIT=100
INDEXER_WORKERS=1
INDEXER_POLL_INTERVAL=60
```

### Issue: High costs
**Solution:**
1. Use voyage-3.5 instead of voyage-3-large
2. Disable reranking: `RERANK_ENABLED=false`
3. Switch to OpenRouter with cheaper models

## Next Steps

1. **Deploy to Production**: Follow integration guide
2. **Monitor Costs**: Track `indexer.GetStats().TotalCostUSD`
3. **Tune Search Weights**: Adjust FTS/Vector balance in `search.go`
4. **Add Caching**: Cache embeddings for common queries
5. **Implement Analytics**: Track search quality metrics
