High-Traffic Optimization Guide for Booster

✅ Already Implemented

Database Indexes

  • Added indexes on messages table (sender, receiver, created_at, unread messages)
  • Added indexes on notifications table (userId, unread notifications, created_at)
  • Added indexes on videos table (userId, categoryId, visibility/status, created_at, featured)

Next Step: Push indexes to database

bunx drizzle-kit push

🚀 Critical Optimizations to Implement

1. Database Connection Pooling

Current: Neon Serverless (already pooled ✅) Your Neon PostgreSQL already uses connection pooling, but verify settings:

Recommended:

  • Set connectionString pool size in production
  • Use Neon's connection pooling (already enabled)
  • Monitor active connections in Neon dashboard

2. Caching Strategy

A. Add Redis for Hot Data

bun add ioredis
bun add -D @types/ioredis

Create: src/lib/cache.ts

import Redis from 'ioredis';

export const redis = new Redis(process.env.REDIS_URL!);

// Cache helpers
export const cacheGet = async <T>(key: string): Promise<T | null> => {
  const cached = await redis.get(key);
  return cached ? JSON.parse(cached) : null;
};

export const cacheSet = async (key: string, value: any, ttl = 300) => {
  await redis.setex(key, ttl, JSON.stringify(value));
};

export const cacheInvalidate = async (pattern: string) => {
  const keys = await redis.keys(pattern);
  if (keys.length) await redis.del(...keys);
};

Cache These:

  • User profiles (TTL: 5 mins)
  • Video metadata (TTL: 10 mins)
  • Trending/featured videos (TTL: 1 min)
  • Follower counts (TTL: 30 secs)
  • Message unread counts (TTL: 10 secs)

3. Rate Limiting

Update src/lib/ratelimit.ts

import { Ratelimit } from '@upstash/ratelimit';
import { Redis } from '@upstash/redis';

const redis = new Redis({
  url: process.env.UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL!,
  token: process.env.UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN!,
});

// Different limits for different actions
export const messagingRateLimit = new Ratelimit({
  redis,
  limiter: Ratelimit.slidingWindow(10, '1 m'), // 10 messages per minute
  analytics: true,
});

export const notificationRateLimit = new Ratelimit({
  redis,
  limiter: Ratelimit.slidingWindow(30, '1 m'), // 30 notifications per minute
  analytics: true,
});

export const searchRateLimit = new Ratelimit({
  redis,
  limiter: Ratelimit.slidingWindow(20, '1 m'), // 20 searches per minute
  analytics: true,
});

Apply to procedures:

// In messages/server/procedures.ts
sendMessage: protectedProcedure
  .mutation(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
    const { success } = await messagingRateLimit.limit(ctx.user.id);
    if (!success) {
      throw new TRPCError({ code: 'TOO_MANY_REQUESTS' });
    }
    // ... rest of code
  })

4. Query Optimization

A. Pagination Everywhere

Already using cursor pagination ✅ but ensure all lists use it:

  • Messages conversations
  • Notifications
  • Video feeds
  • Search results

B. Selective Field Loading

// Instead of SELECT *
.select({
  id: users.id,
  name: users.name,
  imageUrl: users.imageUrl,
  // Only fields you need
})

C. Batch Queries

Use Promise.all() for independent queries:

const [user, followers, videos] = await Promise.all([
  getUserQuery,
  getFollowersQuery,
  getVideosQuery
]);

5. Real-time Polling Optimization

Current: Polling every 5-30 seconds Improvement: Use websockets or long-polling

Option A: Server-Sent Events (SSE)

// src/app/api/messages/stream/route.ts
export async function GET(req: Request) {
  const stream = new ReadableStream({
    async start(controller) {
      // Send updates when new messages arrive
      setInterval(async () => {
        const newMessages = await checkNewMessages();
        controller.enqueue(JSON.stringify(newMessages));
      }, 1000);
    }
  });
  
  return new Response(stream, {
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'text/event-stream',
      'Cache-Control': 'no-cache',
    }
  });
}

Option B: Increase Polling Intervals

// Less critical data can poll slower
refetchInterval: 60000, // 1 minute instead of 30 seconds

6. Image Optimization

Already using: Next.js Image component ✅

Add:

  • WebP format support
  • Responsive images
  • Lazy loading (already implemented)
  • CDN caching headers

7. API Route Optimization

Add Edge Runtime for Fast Endpoints

// src/app/api/health/route.ts
export const runtime = 'edge';

export async function GET() {
  return Response.json({ status: 'ok' });
}

8. Monitoring & Observability

A. Add Sentry for Error Tracking

bun add @sentry/nextjs
// sentry.client.config.ts
import * as Sentry from '@sentry/nextjs';

Sentry.init({
  dsn: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN,
  tracesSampleRate: 0.1, // 10% of transactions
  environment: process.env.NODE_ENV,
});

B. Add Performance Monitoring

// Monitor slow queries
import { performance } from 'perf_hooks';

const start = performance.now();
const result = await db.query();
const duration = performance.now() - start;

if (duration > 1000) {
  console.warn(`Slow query: ${duration}ms`);
}

9. Database Query Limits

Add safety limits to prevent runaway queries:

// Max 100 results per query
.limit(Math.min(input.limit, 100))

10. Content Delivery (CDN)

Already using: Vercel Edge Network ✅

Ensure:

  • Static assets cached at edge
  • API responses cached when possible
  • Set proper Cache-Control headers
export const revalidate = 300; // 5 minutes

📊 Load Testing

Before going live, test with:

A. Artillery.io

bun add -D artillery
# load-test.yml
config:
  target: 'https://your-app.com'
  phases:
    - duration: 60
      arrivalRate: 100 # 100 users/sec
scenarios:
  - flow:
    - get:
        url: "/"
    - post:
        url: "/api/trpc/messages.sendMessage"
artillery run load-test.yml

B. k6

k6 run --vus 100 --duration 30s load-test.js

🎯 Priority Order

Phase 1 (Do Now):

  1. ✅ Push database indexes
  2. Add rate limiting to messaging
  3. Add error monitoring (Sentry)
  4. Test with load testing tool

Phase 2 (Next Week):

  1. Add Redis caching for hot data
  2. Optimize polling intervals
  3. Add performance monitoring
  4. Database connection pool tuning

Phase 3 (Before Launch):

  1. Implement WebSockets for real-time
  2. Add comprehensive logging
  3. Set up alerting (Vercel/Sentry)
  4. Load test with 1000+ concurrent users

📈 Monitoring Metrics

Track these in production:

  • Response Times: p50, p95, p99
  • Error Rates: 4xx, 5xx
  • Database: Query times, connection pool usage
  • Cache: Hit rate, miss rate
  • Messages: Send rate, delivery time
  • Active Users: Concurrent connections

🔧 Environment Variables Needed

# Redis
REDIS_URL=redis://...
UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL=https://...
UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN=...

# Monitoring
NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN=https://...
SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN=...

# Database (already have)
DATABASE_URL=...

🚨 Emergency Scaling

If traffic spikes suddenly:

  1. Increase Vercel plan (automatic scaling)
  2. Scale Neon database (Neon console)
  3. Enable aggressive caching
  4. Disable non-critical features temporarily
  5. Add rate limits more aggressively

✅ Current Strengths

Your app already has:

  • ✅ Serverless architecture (auto-scaling)
  • ✅ Edge network (Vercel)
  • ✅ Connection pooling (Neon)
  • ✅ Cursor pagination
  • ✅ Optimized images
  • ✅ Code splitting
  • ✅ Some indexes

You're in good shape! Focus on caching and monitoring next.
