# Caching Strategies


## Overview

Performance optimization guide for Caching Strategies.

## Performance Metrics

### Current Benchmarks

- Query response time: <100ms (p95)
- API throughput: 10,000 req/s
- Graph traversal: 1M nodes/s
- Memory usage: <2GB

## Optimization Strategies

### 1. Database Optimization

```sql
-- Add indexes for common queries
CREATE INDEX idx_artifacts_type ON artifacts(type);
CREATE INDEX idx_relationships_source ON relationships(source_id);
```

### 2. Caching Strategy

```typescript
// Configure caching
tracertm.cache.configure({
  ttl: 3600,
  maxSize: 1000,
  strategy: 'lru'
})
```

### 3. Query Optimization

```typescript
// Use selective queries
const results = await tracertm.query({
  fields: ['id', 'name'], // Only needed fields
  limit: 100,
  cache: true
})
```

## Performance Monitoring

### Enable Monitoring

```bash
tracertm monitor performance --enable
tracertm monitor metrics --dashboard
```

### Key Metrics

- Response time
- Throughput
- Error rate
- Resource usage

### Monitoring Dashboard

```typescript
// Access metrics
const metrics = await tracertm.metrics.get({
  timeRange: '1h',
  interval: '1m'
})
```

## Troubleshooting

### Slow Queries

**Diagnosis:**
```bash
tracertm analyze slow-queries
```

**Solution:**
- Add indexes
- Optimize query
- Enable caching

### High Memory Usage

**Diagnosis:**
```bash
tracertm analyze memory
```

**Solution:**
- Increase heap size
- Enable garbage collection tuning
- Reduce batch sizes

### High CPU Usage

**Diagnosis:**
```bash
tracertm analyze cpu
```

**Solution:**
- Scale horizontally
- Optimize algorithms
- Enable caching

## Best Practices

1. **Index Strategy**: Index frequently queried fields
2. **Caching**: Cache expensive operations
3. **Batch Operations**: Use batch APIs for bulk operations
4. **Connection Pooling**: Configure optimal pool size
5. **Monitoring**: Continuous performance monitoring

## Advanced Optimization

### Custom Indexes

```typescript
tracertm.indexes.create({
  collection: 'artifacts',
  fields: ['type', 'status'],
  type: 'compound'
})
```

### Query Optimization

```typescript
// Use explain to analyze queries
const explain = await tracertm.query.explain({
  type: 'requirement',
  filters: { status: 'active' }
})
```

## Configuration Tuning

```yaml
performance:
  database:
    pool_size: 20
    timeout: 5000
  cache:
    enabled: true
    ttl: 3600
    max_size: 10000
  query:
    max_results: 1000
    timeout: 30000
```
