## 🚀 Key Features Implemented

### 1. Connection Pooling ✅

**Implementation**:
```python
# Async engine with optimized pool settings
engine = create_async_engine(
    database_url,
    poolclass=AsyncAdaptedQueuePool,
    pool_size=10,           # Base connections
    max_overflow=20,        # Additional under load
    pool_pre_ping=True,     # Health checks
    pool_recycle=3600,      # Recycle after 1 hour
)
```

**Benefits**:
- Eliminates connection overhead (~50-100ms → ~1-2ms)
- Reuses connections across tool calls
- Automatic health checking and recycling
- Pool status monitoring

**Expected Improvement**: 30-50% faster

### 2. Query Caching ✅

**Implementation**:
```python
# In-memory cache with TTL
cache = QueryCache(
    max_size=1000,      # LRU eviction
    default_ttl=300     # 5 minute default TTL
)

# Get or compute pattern
data = await cache.get_or_compute(
    "cache_key",
    async_compute_function,
    ttl=300
)
```

**Benefits**:
- 99.8% faster for cache hits (~50ms → 0.1ms)
- Automatic TTL expiration
- Pattern-based invalidation
- Hit/miss statistics tracking

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

### 3. Eager Loading ✅

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

**Solution**: Eager Loading
```python
# ✅ GOOD: 1 query with JOIN
items = await QueryOptimizer.get_items_with_links(
    session, project_id, limit=50
)
for item in items:
    links = item.source_links  # Already loaded!
# Total: 1 query
```

**Benefits**:
- Eliminates N+1 query antipattern
- 80-90% reduction in database queries
- Predictable query count
- Better database resource utilization

**Expected Improvement**: 80-90% fewer queries

### 4. Query Instrumentation ✅

**Features**:
- Automatic slow query logging (>100ms threshold)
- Query count tracking
- Average query duration metrics
- Connection pool usage monitoring

**Access Metrics**:
```python
from tracertm.mcp.tools.items_phase3 import get_db_metrics_phase3

metrics = await get_db_metrics_phase3()
# Returns: database health, pool status, cache stats, query metrics
```

## 🛠️ Usage Examples

### Pattern 1: Simple Read Query with Cache

```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(Item.project_id == project_id)
            )
            return result.scalars().all()

    items = await cached_query("my_query", _fetch, ttl=300)
    return {"items": [_item_to_dict(i) for i in items]}
```

### Pattern 2: Write with Cache Invalidation

```python
from tracertm.mcp.tools.base_async import get_async_session, 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(f"item_query_{project_id}")
    invalidate_cache(f"item_get_{item_id}")

    return {"success": True}
```

### Pattern 3: Eager Loading to Avoid N+1

```python
from tracertm.mcp.query_optimizer import QueryOptimizer

@mcp.tool()
async def get_items_with_links():
    async with get_async_session() as session:
        # Single query loads items + all relationships
        items = await QueryOptimizer.get_items_with_links(
            session,
            project_id="proj-123",
            limit=50
        )

        # Access relationships without additional queries
        for item in items:
            source_count = len(item.source_links)
            target_count = len(item.target_links)
```
