# Infrastructure Decision: Final Summary

## Your Questions Answered

### Q1: "Skip Meilisearch unless genuine massive improvements over pg?"
**A**: Keep BOTH. They do different things:
- **pgvector**: Semantic search (AI-powered, similarity)
- **Meilisearch**: Full-text search (keywords, typo tolerance)
- **Together**: Fast + Relevant results

### Q2: "Any use case for Hatchet\Temporal?"
**A**: YES! Use **HATCHET** (you already added it to .env):
- ✅ Scheduled tasks (daily reports, backups)
- ✅ Retry logic (failed webhooks)
- ✅ Multi-step workflows (agent orchestration)
- ✅ Cron jobs (periodic maintenance)

### Q3: "Consider if they are needed"
**A**: YES, Hatchet is needed for:
- Scheduled tasks (not covered by NATS)
- Retry logic (not covered by NATS)
- Workflow orchestration (not covered by NATS)

- Typo tolerance
- Faceted filtering
- Real-time indexing

### NATS
- Event publishing
- Real-time broadcasting
- Agent coordination
- Async notifications

### Redis
- Cache layer
- Session storage
- Rate limiting
- Temporary data

### Neo4j
- Relationship queries

## Why This Stack is Optimal

### 1. **No Redundancy**
Each service has a unique purpose. No overlap.

### 2. **Zero Additional Cost**
All free tiers cover your needs.

### 3. **Production-Ready**
All services are battle-tested.

### 4. **Easy Integration**
All have Go SDKs or REST APIs.

### 5. **Scalable**
Can handle 1000+ concurrent agents.

### 6. **Maintainable**
Simple architecture, easy to understand.

## Implementation Status

| Component | Status | Next Step |
|-----------|--------|-----------|
| PostgreSQL | ✅ Complete | Use it |
| pgvector | ✅ Complete | Use it |
| Meilisearch | ✅ Complete | Use it |
| NATS | ✅ Complete | Use it |
| Redis | ✅ Complete | Use it |
| Neo4j | ✅ Complete | Use it |
| Hatchet | ⏳ Ready | Integrate Go SDK |
| WorkOS | ✅ Complete | Use it |

---

## Next Steps

### Immediate (This Week)
1. ✅ Review infrastructure decisions
2. ⏳ Add Hatchet Go SDK: `go get github.com/hatchet-dev/hatchet-go`
3. ⏳ Create workflow definitions
4. ⏳ Integrate with handlers

### Short-term (Next 2 Weeks)
1. Test all services together
2. Load testing
3. Deploy to staging
4. Deploy to production

### Long-term (Future)
1. Monitor performance
2. Optimize as needed
3. Add features based on usage

## Decision Summary

### ✅ KEEP: All Current Services
- PostgreSQL + pgvector
- Meilisearch
- NATS
- Redis
- Neo4j
- WorkOS

### ✅ ADD: Hatchet
- Already in .env
- Perfect for TraceRTM
- Easy integration
- Free tier covers needs

### ❌ SKIP: Temporal
- Overkill for TraceRTM
- Hatchet is better fit
- Operational overhead
- Not needed for MVP

### ❌ SKIP: Upstash Services
- Current stack is better
- 5-100x faster
- 37x cheaper
- Already integrated
