Dashboard Performance Optimization

Executive Summary

The dashboard currently takes 15.5 seconds to load due to inefficient database queries when fetching tracker data with location history. This document outlines a comprehensive solution combining reference data prewarming, smart lazy loading, and database optimization to achieve sub-second load times.

Problem Analysis

Current Performance Issues

Measured Performance (Network Tab):

  • Total Load Time: 15.53 seconds
  • Database Query Time: 15.52 seconds
  • Network Transfer: 2.21ms (6.7MB payload)
  • Frontend Rendering: Negligible

Root Causes:

  1. N+1 Query Problem: Loading ~1500 trackers with individual location history queries
  2. No Caching: Static reference data (brands, production runs) queried on every request
  3. Bulk Loading: Attempting to load all trackers regardless of user needs
  4. Inefficient Joins: Complex queries without proper optimization

User Experience Impact

  • 15-second wait for initial dashboard load
  • No feedback during loading process
  • All-or-nothing data loading (can't filter until everything loads)
  • Poor scalability as tracker count grows

Solution Architecture

Three-Pronged Approach

  1. Reference Data Prewarming - Cache static tables for instant access
  2. Smart Lazy Loading - Load data only when user applies filters
  3. Database Optimization - Efficient queries for dynamic data

Phase 1: Reference Data Prewarming

Objective

Cache static reference tables that rarely change but are frequently accessed.

Target Tables

clients              (~10-50 records)
brands               (~20-100 records)
production_runs      (~50-500 records)
storage_locations    (~10-100 records)
delivery_locations   (~50-1000 records)
images              (~100-1000 records)

Cache Architecture

Phase 2: Smart Lazy Loading

Lazy Loading Objective

Load tracker data only when user applies filters, while maintaining familiar UI.

User Experience Flow

  1. Instant Load: Dashboard loads with empty map/table but populated filters
  2. User Selection: User selects brand/production run from dropdowns
  3. Data Loading: Only selected tracker data is fetched
  4. Progressive Enhancement: User can refine filters to load more/less data

Frontend Implementation

State Management

interface DashboardState {
  // Reference data (always loaded from cache)
  brands: Brand[];
  productionRuns: ProductionRun[];
  locations: Location[];

  // Dynamic data (loaded on demand)
  trackers: Tracker[];
  isLazyMode: boolean;
  hasActiveFilters: boolean;
  shouldLoadTrackers: boolean;
}

// Lazy loading logic
const shouldLoadData = useMemo(() => {
  if (!isLazyMode) return true; // Normal loading for small datasets

  // Load data when user applies any filter
  return (
    selectedBrandIds.length > 0 ||
    selectedProductionRunIds.length > 0 ||
    selectedStatuses.length > 0 ||
    searchTerm.trim() !== ""
  );
}, [
  isLazyMode,
  selectedBrandIds,
  selectedProductionRunIds,
  selectedStatuses,
  searchTerm,
]);

Empty State Components

// Map component
function TrackerMap({ trackers, isLoading, isEmpty }) {
  if (isEmpty && !isLoading) {
    return (
      <MapContainer>
        <EmptyMapOverlay>
          <FunnelIcon />
          <h3>Select filters to view trackers</h3>
          <p>Use the brand and production run filters above to load tracker data</p>
        </EmptyMapOverlay>
      </MapContainer>
    );
  }

  return <MapWithTrackers trackers={trackers} />;
}

// Table component
function TrackerTable({ trackers, isLoading, isEmpty }) {
  if (isEmpty && !isLoading) {
    return (
      <TableContainer>
        <TableHeaders />
        <EmptyTableBody>

Phase 3: Database Optimization

Query Performance Analysis

Current Problematic Query Pattern

-- This creates N+1 queries (1 + N individual location lookups)
SELECT * FROM trackers;  -- 1 query for ~1500 trackers

-- Then for each tracker:
SELECT * FROM location_history
WHERE tracker_id = ?
ORDER BY timestamp DESC
LIMIT 1;  -- 1500 individual queries

Optimized Query Pattern

-- Single query with efficient JOIN
SELECT
    t.*,
    lh.id as latest_location_id,
    lh.timestamp as latest_timestamp,
    ST_X(lh.location::geometry) as latitude,
    ST_Y(lh.location::geometry) as longitude,
    lh.nearest_city,
    lh.confidence
FROM trackers t
LEFT JOIN LATERAL (
    SELECT id, timestamp, location, nearest_city, confidence
    FROM location_history
    WHERE tracker_id = t.id
    ORDER BY timestamp DESC
    LIMIT 1
) lh ON true
WHERE t.production_run_id IN (?, ?, ?)  -- Filter early
ORDER BY t.last_report_received DESC NULLS LAST;

Database Indexes

Required Indexes

-- Existing indexes (verify)
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_trackers_production_run_id
    ON trackers(production_run_id);
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_trackers_current_status
    ON trackers(current_status);
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_trackers_last_report_received
    ON trackers(last_report_received);

-- Location history optimization
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_location_history_tracker_timestamp
    ON location_history(tracker_id, timestamp DESC);

-- Production run filtering
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_production_runs_brand_id

  • Dashboard load time > 2 seconds
  • Database query time > 1 second
  • Cache hit rate < 90%
  • Cache invalidation failures

Risk Mitigation

Potential Issues and Solutions

Cache Failures

Risk: Redis unavailable, cache corruption Mitigation:

  • Graceful fallback to database queries
  • Cache health monitoring and auto-recovery
  • Multiple cache layers (Redis + in-memory)

Database Performance Regression

Risk: New queries perform worse than expected Mitigation:

  • Comprehensive query performance testing
  • Database query monitoring and alerting
  • Rollback procedures for index changes

User Experience Issues

Risk: Lazy loading confuses users Mitigation:

  • Extensive user testing before deployment
  • Clear messaging and helpful empty states
  • Option to disable lazy loading for power users

Memory Usage

Risk: Cache consumes too much memory Mitigation:

  • Memory usage monitoring and limits
  • Cache size optimization and cleanup
  • Horizontal scaling if needed

Rollback Procedures

Phase 1 Rollback (Cache Issues)

  1. Disable cache service via feature flag
  2. Revert API endpoints to direct database queries
  3. Remove cache dependencies from frontend
  4. Monitor performance impact

Phase 2 Rollback (Lazy Loading Issues)

  1. Set isLazyMode = false in frontend
  2. Revert to original data loading behavior
  3. Remove empty state components
  4. Restore original user experience

Phase 3 Rollback (Database Issues)

  1. Revert to original query patterns
  2. Remove new database indexes if causing issues
  3. Disable query caching
  4. Monitor database performance

Implementation Status

✅ Phase 1: Reference Data Prewarming - COMPLETED

What's Been Implemented:

  • ReferenceDataCacheService (app/services/cache_service.py)
  • Event-driven caching with no TTL
  • Debounced invalidation to prevent cache thrashing
  • Graceful fallback to database on cache failures

  • Support for clients, brands, production runs, storage locations, delivery locations, and images

  • DebouncedCacheInvalidator

  • Prevents cache thrashing during bulk operations
  • Configurable debounce delay (default 2 seconds)

  • Concurrent invalidation support for multiple tables

  • Comprehensive Test Suite (tests/services/test_cache_service.py)

  • 23 tests covering all functionality
  • 83% code coverage

  • All tests passing

  • Runtime Issues Fixed

  • Resolved async/await issues in SSE endpoints
  • Fixed "object list can't be used in 'await' expression" errors

Ready for Integration: The cache service is ready to be integrated into the main application startup process.

🔄 Phase 2: Smart Lazy Loading - PLANNED

Still Needs Implementation:

  • Frontend state management for lazy loading
  • Empty state components for map and table
  • Backend lazy_load parameter support
  • User data scope detection logic

Current Status:

  • User data scope detection has been implemented (UserDataScope schema)
  • Basic infrastructure exists but needs frontend integration

🔄 Phase 3: Database Optimization - PLANNED

Still Needs Implementation:

  • Optimized JOIN queries for location data
  • Database indexes for filter columns
  • Query result caching layer
  • Performance monitoring

Current Status:

  • Analysis completed, implementation pending

Next Steps for Full Implementation

Immediate (Phase 1 Integration)

  1. Initialize cache service in main.py
from app.services.cache_service import ReferenceDataCacheService, DebouncedCacheInvalidator

@app.on_event("startup")
async def startup_event():
    # Initialize cache service
    redis_client = get_redis_client()
    cache_service = ReferenceDataCacheService(redis_client)
    debounced_invalidator = DebouncedCacheInvalidator(cache_service)

    # Prewarm all caches
    await cache_service.prewarm_all_caches(db)
  1. Update reference data endpoints to use cache
@router.get("/brands/", response_model=List[schemas.Brand])
async def get_brands(db: Session = Depends(get_db)):
    cache_service = get_cache_service()
    return await cache_service.get_brands(db)
  1. Add cache invalidation to CRUD operations

Short Term (Phase 2 - Lazy Loading)

  1. Frontend lazy loading implementation
  2. Backend lazy_load parameter support
  3. Empty state UI components
  4. User data scope integration

Medium Term (Phase 3 - Database Optimization)

  1. Query optimization implementation
  2. Database index creation
  3. Performance monitoring setup
  4. Load testing and validation

Current Benefits Available

With Phase 1 complete, the following benefits are immediately available upon integration:

  • Instant reference data loading (brands, production runs, etc.)
  • Reduced database load for static data queries
  • Event-driven cache updates ensuring data consistency
  • Graceful degradation if Redis is unavailable
  • Comprehensive error handling and logging

Conclusion

Phase 1 (Reference Data Prewarming) is complete and ready for production integration. This provides immediate performance benefits for reference data loading.

Phases 2 and 3 remain as planned work to achieve the full 97% performance improvement target. The foundation is solid, and the remaining phases can be implemented incrementally while already benefiting from the caching improvements.

The implemented cache service addresses the core issue of repeated database queries for static reference data, providing a significant performance boost for administrators loading the dashboard.
