Profile real PostgreSQL queries before adding servers

Capture EXPLAIN ANALYZE on representative synthetic data; inspect lock waits, connection pool saturation and index selectivity. Increase concurrency gradually and report p50, p95, error rate and test duration together.

Workflow and data ownership

Load generator → API pool → query planner → storage → percentile report

Confirm each system of record, the event owner and the recovery path before implementation. The sequence above is a proposed design for discussion, not measured production performance.

3. The 8 Core Functional Modules Included in This Architecture

The custom platform is engineered with eight deeply integrated operational modules designed specifically for High-Concurrency Backend Infrastructure:

Failure cases and acceptance checks

Prove the connection pool has a finite queue; cancel timed-out queries; replay a hot-row workload; test index changes against writes as well as reads.

Scope, measurement and handover

Agree the first release, test data, permissions and acceptance evidence in writing. Record the current operating baseline before setting targets. Hand over the accepted code, configuration and runbook under the project agreement; hosting, external APIs and maintenance remain separate budget items. Review the related service or guide.
