Caching Strategies

Application-Level Caching

Redis Caching

// Implement Redis caching
const redis = require('redis');
const client = redis.createClient();

// Cache API responses
async function getCachedResponse(key, fetchFunction, ttl = 3600) {
  const cached = await client.get(key);

  if (cached) {
    return JSON.parse(cached);
  }

  const data = await fetchFunction();
  await client.setex(key, ttl, JSON.stringify(data));

  return data;
}

// Cache embeddings
async function getCachedEmbedding(text) {
  const key = `embedding:${crypto.createHash('md5').update(text).digest('hex')}`;

  return getCachedResponse(key, () => generateEmbedding(text), 86400);
}

Memory Caching

// Implement in-memory cache
const NodeCache = require('node-cache');
const cache = new NodeCache({
  stdTTL: 3600,
  checkperiod: 600,
  maxKeys: 10000
});

// Cache frequently accessed data
function getCachedData(key, fetchFunction) {
  let data = cache.get(key);

  if (!data) {
    data = fetchFunction();
    cache.set(key, data);
  }

  return data;
}

Database Caching

Query Optimization

-- Optimize database queries
-- Create indexes
CREATE INDEX idx_documents_workspace_id ON documents(workspace_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_documents_created_at ON documents(created_at);
CREATE INDEX idx_chat_messages_conversation_id ON chat_messages(conversation_id);

-- Use prepared statements
PREPARE get_documents AS
SELECT * FROM documents
WHERE workspace_id = $1
AND created_at > $2
ORDER BY created_at DESC
LIMIT $3;

-- Optimize joins
EXPLAIN ANALYZE
SELECT d.*, w.name as workspace_name
FROM documents d
JOIN workspaces w ON d.workspace_id = w.id
WHERE d.status = 'processed';

Connection Pooling

// Optimize database connections
const { Pool } = require('pg');

const pool = new Pool({
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 5432,
  database: 'ainexlayer',
  user: 'ainexlayer',
  password: 'password',
  max: 20,
  min: 5,
  idleTimeoutMillis: 30000,
  connectionTimeoutMillis: 2000,
  acquireTimeoutMillis: 60000,
  createTimeoutMillis: 30000,
  destroyTimeoutMillis: 5000,
  reapIntervalMillis: 1000,
  createRetryIntervalMillis: 200
});

Monitoring and Profiling

Performance Monitoring

Application Metrics

// Implement performance monitoring
const prometheus = require('prom-client');

// Create metrics
const httpRequestDuration = new prometheus.Histogram({
  name: 'http_request_duration_seconds',
  help: 'Duration of HTTP requests in seconds',
  labelNames: ['method', 'route', 'status']
});

const documentProcessingTime = new prometheus.Histogram({
  name: 'document_processing_duration_seconds',
  help: 'Duration of document processing in seconds',
  labelNames: ['document_type', 'status']
});

// Middleware to track requests
app.use((req, res, next) => {
  const start = Date.now();

  res.on('finish', () => {
    const duration = (Date.now() - start) / 1000;
    httpRequestDuration
      .labels(req.method, req.route?.path || req.path, res.statusCode)
      .observe(duration);
  });

  next();
});

System Metrics

# Monitor system performance
#!/bin/bash
# monitor.sh

while true; do
    # CPU usage
    CPU_USAGE=$(top -bn1 | grep "Cpu(s)" | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d'%' -f1)

    # Memory usage
    MEM_USAGE=$(free | grep Mem | awk '{printf("%.2f"), $3/$2 * 100.0}')

    # Disk usage
    DISK_USAGE=$(df / | tail -1 | awk '{print $5}' | cut -d'%' -f1)

    # Network usage
    NETWORK_IN=$(cat /proc/net/dev | grep eth0 | awk '{print $2}')
