High-Volume Relational Database Optimization
Monolithic PostgreSQL database suffering from connection exhaustion and 800ms+ slow queries during peak market trading spikes.
Architected a distributed connection pool layer with PgBouncer, restructured critical JSONB columns into B-tree indexed composite keys, and implemented automated read-replica routing for analytical queries.
- ✓ Query response times dropped from 820ms to 6.4ms P95
- ✓ Supported 10x concurrency (50,000 TPS) without hardware upgrades
- ✓ Zero downtime migration executed over a scheduled maintenance window
