[22] Enhance system performance and implement scalability measures

[daaimah123]

Problem: As the platform grows, we need to ensure that it can handle increased load and maintain performance under various conditions.

Implementation Details:

1. Conduct a comprehensive performance audit of the entire system
2. Implement database optimizations (indexing, query optimization, etc.)
3. Develop a caching strategy using Redis or a similar in-memory data store
4. Implement horizontal scaling for the application servers
5. Optimize asset delivery using a Content Delivery Network (CDN)
6. Develop a load testing suite to simulate various usage scenarios
7. Implement performance monitoring and alerting systems

Technical Concepts:

• Database performance optimization techniques
• Caching strategies and implementation
• Horizontal scaling and load balancing
• Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)
• Load testing methodologies
• Performance monitoring tools (e.g., New Relic, Datadog)

Dependencies: All previous issues

Acceptance Criteria:

• System performance is significantly improved as measured by response times and throughput
• Database queries are optimized and perform well under load
• Caching strategy effectively reduces load on primary data stores
• Application servers can be scaled horizontally to handle increased traffic
• Assets are delivered quickly from geographically distributed CDN nodes
• Load testing suite accurately simulates real-world usage scenarios
• Performance monitoring provides real-time insights and alerts for potential issues
