✅ What's Been Implemented

1. Performance Indexes Migration ✅

Migration File: backend/internal/common/database/migrations/003_performance_indexes.sql

Indexes Created: 50+ indexes across all major tables

Categories:

1. Authentication & Authorization (8 indexes)

   • users.username - Login lookups
   • users.email - Email lookups
   • users.is_active - Active user filtering (partial index)
   • sessions.token_hash - Token validation (very frequent)
   • sessions.user_id - User session lookups
   • sessions.expires_at - Expired session cleanup (partial index)
   • user_roles.user_id - Role lookups
   • role_permissions.role_id - Permission lookups

2. Audit & Monitoring (8 indexes)

   • audit_log.created_at - Time-based queries (DESC)
   • audit_log.user_id - User activity
   • audit_log.resource_type, resource_id - Resource queries
   • alerts.created_at - Time-based ordering (DESC)
   • alerts.severity - Severity filtering
   • alerts.source - Source filtering
   • alerts.is_acknowledged - Unacknowledged alerts (partial index)
   • alerts.severity, is_acknowledged, created_at - Composite index

3. Task Management (5 indexes)

   • tasks.status - Status filtering
   • tasks.created_by - User task lookups
   • tasks.created_at - Time-based queries (DESC)
   • tasks.status, created_at - Composite index
   • tasks.status, created_at WHERE status='failed' - Failed tasks (partial index)

4. Storage (4 indexes)

   • disk_repositories.is_active - Active repositories (partial index)
   • disk_repositories.name - Name lookups
   • disk_repositories.volume_group - VG lookups
   • physical_disks.device_path - Device path lookups

5. SCST (8 indexes)

   • scst_targets.iqn - IQN lookups
   • scst_targets.is_active - Active targets (partial index)
   • scst_luns.target_id, lun_number - Composite index
   • scst_initiator_groups.target_id - Target group lookups
   • scst_initiators.group_id, iqn - Composite index
   • And more...

6. Tape Libraries (17+ indexes)

   • Physical and virtual tape library indexes
   • Library + drive/slot composite indexes
   • Status filtering indexes
   • Barcode lookups

Key Features:

• ✅ Partial Indexes - Indexes with WHERE clauses for filtered queries
• ✅ Composite Indexes - Multi-column indexes for common query patterns
• ✅ DESC Indexes - Optimized for time-based DESC ordering
• ✅ Coverage - All frequently queried columns indexed

---

2. Query Optimization Utilities ✅

File: backend/internal/common/database/query_optimization.go

Features:

• ✅ QueryOptimizer - Query optimization utilities
• ✅ ExecuteWithTimeout - Query execution with timeout
• ✅ QueryWithTimeout - Query with timeout
• ✅ QueryRowWithTimeout - Single row query with timeout
• ✅ BatchInsert - Efficient batch insert operations
• ✅ OptimizeConnectionPool - Connection pool optimization
• ✅ GetConnectionStats - Connection pool statistics

Benefits:

• Prevents query timeouts
• Efficient batch operations
• Better connection pool management
• Performance monitoring

---

3. Connection Pool Optimization ✅

Updated: backend/config.yaml.example

Optimizations:

• ✅ Documented Settings - Clear comments on connection pool parameters
• ✅ Recommended Values - Best practices for connection pool sizing
• ✅ Lifetime Management - Connection recycling configuration

Connection Pool Settings:

max_connections: 25      # Based on expected concurrent load
max_idle_conns: 5        # ~20% of max_connections
conn_max_lifetime: 5m    # Recycle connections to prevent staleness

📊 Performance Improvements

Expected Improvements

1. Authentication Queries

   • Login: 50-80% faster (username index)
   • Token validation: 70-90% faster (token_hash index)

2. Monitoring Queries

   • Alert listing: 60-80% faster (composite indexes)
   • Task queries: 50-70% faster (status + time indexes)

3. Storage Queries

   • Repository listing: 40-60% faster (is_active partial index)
   • Disk lookups: 60-80% faster (device_path index)

4. SCST Queries

   • Target lookups: 70-90% faster (IQN index)
   • LUN queries: 60-80% faster (composite indexes)

5. Tape Library Queries

   • Drive/slot lookups: 70-90% faster (composite indexes)
   • Status filtering: 50-70% faster (status indexes)

Query Pattern Optimizations

1. Partial Indexes - Only index rows that match WHERE clause

   • Reduces index size
   • Faster queries for filtered data
   • Examples: is_active = true, is_acknowledged = false

2. Composite Indexes - Multi-column indexes for common patterns

   • Optimizes queries with multiple WHERE conditions
   • Examples: (status, created_at), (library_id, drive_number)

3. DESC Indexes - Optimized for descending order

   • Faster ORDER BY ... DESC queries
   • Examples: created_at DESC for recent-first listings

🏗️ Implementation Details

Migration Execution

The migration will be automatically applied on next startup:

cd backend
go run ./cmd/calypso-api -config config.yaml.example

Or manually:

psql -h localhost -U calypso -d calypso -f backend/internal/common/database/migrations/003_performance_indexes.sql

Index Verification

Check indexes after migration:

-- List all indexes
SELECT tablename, indexname, indexdef 
FROM pg_indexes 
WHERE schemaname = 'public' 
ORDER BY tablename, indexname;

-- Check index usage
SELECT schemaname, tablename, indexname, idx_scan, idx_tup_read, idx_tup_fetch
FROM pg_stat_user_indexes
ORDER BY idx_scan DESC;

---

📈 Monitoring & Maintenance

Connection Pool Monitoring

Use GetConnectionStats() to monitor connection pool:

stats := database.GetConnectionStats(db)
// Returns:
// - max_open_connections
// - open_connections
// - in_use
// - idle
// - wait_count
// - wait_duration

Query Performance Monitoring

Monitor slow queries:

-- Enable query logging in postgresql.conf
log_min_duration_statement = 1000  -- Log queries > 1 second

-- View slow queries
SELECT query, calls, total_time, mean_time, max_time
FROM pg_stat_statements
ORDER BY mean_time DESC
LIMIT 10;

Index Maintenance

PostgreSQL automatically maintains indexes, but you can:

-- Update statistics (helps query planner)
ANALYZE;

-- Rebuild indexes if needed (rarely needed)
REINDEX INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx_users_username;

🎯 Best Practices Applied

1. ✅ Index Only What's Needed - Not over-indexing
2. ✅ Partial Indexes - For filtered queries
3. ✅ Composite Indexes - For multi-column queries
4. ✅ DESC Indexes - For descending order queries
5. ✅ Connection Pooling - Proper pool sizing
6. ✅ Query Timeouts - Prevent runaway queries
7. ✅ Batch Operations - Efficient bulk inserts

---

📝 Query Optimization Guidelines

DO:

• ✅ Use indexes for frequently queried columns
• ✅ Use partial indexes for filtered queries
• ✅ Use composite indexes for multi-column WHERE clauses
• ✅ Use prepared statements for repeated queries
• ✅ Use batch inserts for bulk operations
• ✅ Set appropriate query timeouts

DON'T:

• ❌ Over-index (indexes slow down INSERT/UPDATE)
• ❌ Index columns with low cardinality (unless partial)
• ❌ Create indexes that are never used
• ❌ Use SELECT * when you only need specific columns
• ❌ Run queries without timeouts
