```javascript
// 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();

  const key = `embedding:${crypto.createHash('md5').update(text).digest('hex')}`;

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

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 <a href="#database-caching" id="database-caching"></a>

**Query Optimization**

```sql
-- 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**

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

const pool = new Pool({
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 5432,
  database: 'ainexlayer',
  user: 'ainexlayer',
  password: 'password',

```

### Monitoring and Profiling <a href="#monitoring-and-profiling" id="monitoring-and-profiling"></a>

#### Performance Monitoring <a href="#performance-monitoring" id="performance-monitoring"></a>

**Application Metrics**

```javascript
// 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**

```bash
# 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 $2}')
    NETWORK_OUT=$(cat /proc/net/dev | grep eth0 | awk '{print $10}')

    # Log metrics
    echo "$(date): CPU: $CPU_USAGE%, Memory: $MEM_USAGE%, Disk: $DISK_USAGE%"

    sleep 60
done
```

#### Profiling <a href="#profiling" id="profiling"></a>

**Node.js Profiling**

export NODE_OPTIONS="--prof --prof-process"

# Use clinic.js for profiling
npm install -g clinic
clinic doctor -- node index.js
clinic flame -- node index.js
clinic bubbleprof -- node index.js
```

**Database Profiling**

```sql
-- Enable PostgreSQL profiling
-- Enable query logging
ALTER SYSTEM SET log_statement = 'all';
ALTER SYSTEM SET log_min_duration_statement = 1000;
SELECT pg_reload_conf();

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

### Best Practices <a href="#best-practices" id="best-practices"></a>

#### Development Best Practices <a href="#development-best-practices" id="development-best-practices"></a>

**Code Optimization**

```javascript
// Optimize async operations
async function processDocuments(documents) {
  // Use Promise.all for parallel processing
  const results = await Promise.all(
    documents.map(doc => processDocument(doc))
  );

  return results;
}

// Implement proper error handling
async function safeProcessDocument(doc) {
  try {
    return await processDocument(doc);
  } catch (error) {

    return null;
  }
}

// Use streaming for large datasets
const stream = fs.createReadStream('large-file.txt');
const processedStream = stream.pipe(transformStream);
```

**Memory Management**

```javascript
// Implement proper memory management
class DocumentProcessor {
  constructor() {
    this.cache = new Map();
    this.maxCacheSize = 1000;
  }

  processDocument(doc) {
    // Check cache size
    if (this.cache.size >= this.maxCacheSize) {
      // Remove oldest entries
      const oldestKey = this.cache.keys().next().value;
      this.cache.delete(oldestKey);
    }

    // Process document
    const result = this.process(doc);
    this.cache.set(doc.id, result);

    return result;
  }
}
```

#### Production Best Practices <a href="#production-best-practices" id="production-best-practices"></a>

**Monitoring and Alerting**

```bash
# Set up monitoring alerts
#!/bin/bash
# alert.sh

# Check CPU usage
CPU_USAGE=$(top -bn1 | grep "Cpu(s)" | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d'%' -f1)
if (( $(echo "$CPU_USAGE > 80" | bc -l) )); then
    curl -X POST "https://hooks.slack.com/services/YOUR/SLACK/WEBHOOK" \
         -H 'Content-type: application/json' \
         --data "{\"text\":\"High CPU usage: $CPU_USAGE%\"}"
fi

# Check memory usage
MEM_USAGE=$(free | grep Mem | awk '{printf("%.2f"), $3/$2 * 100.0}')
if (( $(echo "$MEM_USAGE > 80" | bc -l) )); then
    curl -X POST "https://hooks.slack.com/services/YOUR/SLACK/WEBHOOK" \
         -H 'Content-type: application/json' \
         --data "{\"text\":\"High memory usage: $MEM_USAGE%\"}"
fi
```

**Backup and Recovery**

```bash
# Automated backup script
#!/bin/bash
# backup.sh

BACKUP_DIR="/backups/$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)"
mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR

# Backup database
docker exec postgres pg_dump -U ainexlayer ainexlayer > $BACKUP_DIR/database.sql

# Backup application data
tar -czf $BACKUP_DIR/storage.tar.gz ./storage/

# Backup configuration
cp .env $BACKUP_DIR/
cp docker-compose.yml $BACKUP_DIR/

# Upload to cloud storage
aws s3 sync $BACKUP_DIR s3://your-backup-bucket/

# Clean up old backups
find /backups -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \;
```
