| ## 🏗️ Optimization Layers | |
| ### 1. JSON Serialization (3x Faster) | |
| **Implementation**: `src/infrastructure/performance/json_utils.py` | |
| ```python | |
| # Before: Standard json library | |
| import json | |
| data = json.dumps(large_object) # ~300ms | |
| # After: orjson | |
| from src.infrastructure.performance.json_utils import fast_json_dumps | |
| data = fast_json_dumps(large_object) # ~100ms | |
| ``` | |
| **Benefits**: | |
| - 3x faster serialization/deserialization | |
| - Native datetime support | |
| - Automatic numpy/pandas conversion | |
| - Lower memory footprint | |
| ### 2. Compression Middleware | |
| **Implementation**: `src/api/middleware/compression.py` | |
| **Features**: | |
| - **Brotli**: Best compression for text (11 quality level) | |
| - **Gzip**: Fallback compression (9 quality level) | |
| - **Smart Detection**: Skip compression for images/videos | |
| - **Size Threshold**: Only compress responses > 1KB | |
| **Results**: | |
| - 70-90% bandwidth reduction | |
| - Faster client downloads | |
| - Reduced infrastructure costs | |
| ### 3. Advanced Caching Strategy | |
| **Implementation**: `src/infrastructure/cache/` | |
| #### Cache Hierarchy | |
| ``` | |
| L1 (Memory) → L2 (Redis) → L3 (Database) | |
| │ | |
| ├─ TTL: 5 min TTL: 1 hr Persistent | |
| ├─ Size: 1000 Size: 10K Unlimited | |
| └─ Speed: <1ms Speed: <5ms Speed: <50ms | |
| ``` | |
| #### Cache Stampede Protection | |
| - **XFetch Algorithm**: Prevents thundering herd | |
| - **Probabilistic Early Expiration**: Smooth cache refresh | |
| - **Lock-based Refresh**: Single worker updates cache | |
| ### 4. Connection Pooling | |
| **Implementation**: `src/infrastructure/http/connection_pool.py` | |
| **LLM Providers**: | |
| ```python | |
| # HTTP/2 multiplexing | |
| limits = httpx.Limits( | |
| max_keepalive_connections=20, | |
| max_connections=100, | |
| keepalive_expiry=300.0 | |
| ) | |
| ``` | |
| **Benefits**: | |
| - Connection reuse | |
| - Reduced handshake overhead | |
| - Better resource utilization | |
| ### 5. Agent Pool Management | |
| **Implementation**: `src/infrastructure/agents/agent_pool.py` | |
| **Features**: | |
| - **Pre-warmed Instances**: Ready agents in pool | |
| - **Lifecycle Management**: Health checks & recycling | |
| - **Dynamic Scaling**: Based on load | |
| - **Memory Optimization**: Shared resources | |
| **Configuration**: | |
| ```python | |
| AgentPoolConfig( | |
| min_size=2, | |
| max_size=10, | |
| max_idle_time=300, | |
| health_check_interval=60 | |
| ) | |
| ``` | |
| ### 6. Parallel Processing | |
| **Implementation**: `src/infrastructure/agents/parallel_processor.py` | |
| **Strategies**: | |
| 1. **MapReduce**: Split work across agents | |
| 2. **Pipeline**: Sequential processing stages | |
| 3. **Scatter-Gather**: Broadcast and collect | |
| 4. **Round-Robin**: Load distribution | |
| **Example**: | |
| ```python | |
| # Process 100 contracts in parallel | |
| results = await processor.process_parallel( | |
| contracts, | |
| strategy="scatter_gather", | |
| max_workers=5 | |
| ) | |
| ``` | |
| ### 7. Database Optimizations | |
| **Implementation**: `src/infrastructure/database/` | |
| **Indexes**: | |
| ```sql | |
| -- Composite indexes for common queries | |
| CREATE INDEX idx_investigations_composite | |
| ON investigations(status, user_id, created_at DESC); | |
| -- Partial indexes for filtered queries | |
| CREATE INDEX idx_active_investigations | |
| ON investigations(created_at) | |
| WHERE status = 'active'; | |
| -- GIN indexes for JSONB | |
| CREATE INDEX idx_metadata_gin | |
| ON contracts USING gin(metadata); | |
| ``` | |
| **Query Optimization**: | |
| - Query result caching | |
| - Prepared statement reuse | |
| - Connection pooling (20 base + 30 overflow) | |
| - Read replicas for analytics | |

| BatchingConfig( | |
| max_batch_size=50, | |
| batch_timeout_ms=100, | |
| compression_threshold=1024 | |
| ) | |
| ``` | |
| **Benefits**: | |
| - Reduced network overhead | |
| - Message compression | |
| - Efficient broadcasting | |
| ### 10. Event-Driven Architecture | |
