    "embedding_cache": {
        "type": "redis",
        "ttl": 86400,  # 24 hours
        "max_size": "10GB",
        "eviction": "lru"
    },

        "max_size": "50GB",
        "path": "/var/cache/deepwikiopen"
    }
}

Application-Level Caching

# Implement intelligent caching
from functools import lru_cache
from typing import Dict, List
import hashlib

class PerformanceCache:
    def __init__(self):
        self.embedding_cache = {}
        self.query_cache = {}

checkpoint_completion_target = 0.9
random_page_cost = 1.1  -- For SSD

-- Connection pooling

WITH (lists = 1000);

CREATE INDEX idx_code_files_path ON code_files USING btree (file_path);
CREATE INDEX idx_code_files_language ON code_files USING btree (language);
CREATE INDEX idx_code_files_updated ON code_files USING btree (last_updated DESC);

-- Partial indexes for common queries
CREATE INDEX idx_active_repositories ON repositories (id) 
WHERE is_active = true;

-- Composite indexes
CREATE INDEX idx_search_composite ON code_files (repository_id, language, file_path);

Query Optimization

-- Use prepared statements
PREPARE search_embeddings AS
SELECT file_id, similarity
FROM embeddings
ORDER BY vector <-> $1
LIMIT $2;

-- Batch operations
INSERT INTO embeddings (file_id, vector, metadata)
VALUES ($1, $2, $3)
ON CONFLICT (file_id) 
DO UPDATE SET vector = EXCLUDED.vector, updated_at = NOW();

Optimization Techniques

Repository Cloning Optimization

# Optimized repository cloning with shallow clone
# As of commit f79554f - Significantly reduces clone time and bandwidth usage
def download_repo(repo_url: str, local_path: str, type: str = "github", access_token: str = None):
    """
    Clone repository with optimized shallow clone for faster performance.
    Using --depth=1 and --single-branch flags reduces clone time by up to 90% for large repositories.
    """
    clone_url = repo_url if not access_token else repo_url.replace("https://", f"https://{access_token}@")
    
    # Optimized clone command with shallow clone flags
    result = subprocess.run(
        ["git", "clone", "--depth=1", "--single-branch", clone_url, local_path],
        check=True,
        stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
        stderr=subprocess.PIPE,
    )
    
    # Benefits:
    # - Reduces download size by only fetching latest commit
    # - Decreases clone time from minutes to seconds for large repos
    # - Lowers bandwidth usage and storage requirements
    # - Perfect for documentation generation where history isn't needed

• Optimize database queries and indexes
• Configure connection pooling
• Set up caching layers
• Choose appropriate models
• Configure resource limits
• Set up monitoring

Runtime Optimization

• Monitor query patterns
• Adjust cache TTLs
• Tune garbage collection

Performance Best Practices

1. Start Small, Scale Gradually: Begin with minimal resources and scale based on actual usage
2. Monitor Everything: Use comprehensive monitoring to identify bottlenecks
3. Cache Aggressively: Implement multi-level caching for frequently accessed data
4. Optimize Hot Paths: Focus optimization efforts on the most frequently used code paths
5. Use Async Operations: Leverage async/await for I/O-bound operations
6. Batch Processing: Process data in batches to reduce overhead
7. Profile Regularly: Regular profiling helps identify new bottlenecks
8. Document Changes: Keep track of performance improvements and their impact

Troubleshooting Performance Issues

Common Issues and Solutions

Issue	Symptoms	Solution
Slow Queries	Response time >1s	Add indexes, optimize query patterns
High Memory Usage	OOM errors	Implement streaming, reduce batch sizes
CPU Bottlenecks	100% CPU usage	Scale horizontally, optimize algorithms
Cache Misses	Repeated computations	Increase cache size, adjust TTL
Network Latency	Slow API responses	Use connection pooling, CDN
Disk I/O	Slow file operations	Use SSD, implement caching
