Memory leak in cache layer or event listeners not cleaned up

Fix

Implement TTL-based cache expiration, max cache size limits, and proper cleanup on module destruction

Verification

✓Memory usage stable over 7+ days

Database connection pool exhaustion under load

Symptom

Requests timeout with 'ECONNREFUSED' after 1000 concurrent users

Root Cause

Connection pool too small or queries holding connections too long

Fix

Increase pool.max to 100-200, reduce query timeout, add query indexes

Verification

✓Handles 10,000 concurrent connections

Slow query causing request timeout despite small result set

Symptom

Single endpoint responds in 5+ seconds

Root Cause

Missing database index causing full table scan

Fix

Use EXPLAIN ANALYZE to identify missing indexes, create composite indexes for filters

Verification

✓Query completes in <100ms after index creation

Cache stampede causing temporary service unavailability

Symptom

Spike in database load when popular cache key expires

Root Cause

Multiple requests computing same value simultaneously

Fix

Implement cache lock or probabilistic early expiration (refreshing before expiry)

Verification

✓Database load spike <10% increase on expiration

Race condition in payment processing causing duplicate charges

Symptom

Some users charged twice for same transaction

Root Cause

Idempotency key not unique or concurrent requests with same key

Fix

Add database unique constraint on idempotency key with SELECT FOR UPDATE locking

Verification

✓Zero duplicate charges in 100,000 transaction test

Cascading timeout failures across microservices

Symptom

One slow service causes entire platform to timeout

Root Cause

No circuit breaker or timeout configuration

Fix

Implement circuit breaker pattern with exponential backoff and fast-fail

Verification

✓Failed service doesn't impact other services

Large JSON payload serialization causing CPU spike

Symptom

CPU usage spikes to 100% when returning large data

Root Cause

Serializing entire object graph with circular references

Fix

Use selective field serialization, implement streaming, or compress response

Verification

✓CPU stays below 50% during large data transfer

Message queue backlog growing infinitely

Symptom

Queue depth increases continuously despite consumers running

Root Cause

Consumer processing speed slower than producer rate

Fix

Increase consumer concurrency, optimize message handler, or scale consumers horizontally

Verification

✓Queue processes messages faster than arriving

Sensitive data visible in structured logs

Symptom

Passwords and API keys appearing in production logs

Root Cause

Logging entire request/response object without sanitization

Fix

Implement log sanitization middleware or use structured logging with field masking

Verification

✓No sensitive data in log files

Performance degradation under concurrent load from lock contention

Symptom

Throughput drops from 5000 to 500 req/s at 100 concurrent users

Root Cause

Shared state mutations causing lock contention

Fix

Use thread-safe data structures, async processing, or sharded caches

Verification

✓Linear throughput scaling up to 1000+ concurrent users

  private async optimizePoolSize(): Promise<void> {
    const utilization = this.metrics.activeConnections / this.pool.options.max;
    
    if (utilization > 0.9) {
      // Increase pool size if approaching max
      this.pool.options.max = Math.min(this.pool.options.max + 10, 200);
    } else if (utilization < 0.3 && this.pool.options.max > 100) {
      // Decrease pool size if underutilized
      this.pool.options.max = Math.max(this.pool.options.max - 10, 100);

Performance Bottleneck Investigation and Optimization

Step 1✓ Profiling shows database queries taking 80% of time

Identify performance bottleneck with profiling

npm install clinic.js
clinic doctor -- npm start
load-test http://localhost:3000 --duration 60

✅ Bottleneck identified

Step 2✓ Query scans 1M rows without index

Analyze slow queries with EXPLAIN ANALYZE

EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT posts.*, comments.* FROM posts LEFT JOIN comments ON posts.id = comments.post_id WHERE posts.created_at > NOW() - interval '7 days';

✅ Inefficient query identified

Step 3✓ Indexes created, query plan updated

Add indexes for query optimization

CREATE INDEX idx_posts_created_at ON posts(created_at DESC);
CREATE INDEX idx_comments_post_id ON comments(post_id);

✅ Query scans 10k rows instead of 1M

Step 4✓ Cache hit rate 92% for recent posts

Implement caching layer for frequently accessed data

const cachedPosts = await cache.get('posts:recent');
if (!cachedPosts) {
  const posts = await findRecentPosts();
  await cache.set('posts:recent', posts, 3600);
  return posts;
}

✅ Response time <50ms

Step 5✓ Throughput increased from 500 to 3000 req/s

Verify improvements with load test

load-test http://localhost:3000/posts --duration 60 --concurrency 100

✅ 6x performance improvement

✅

Database Scaling from Monolith to Read Replicas

Step 1✓ Read replica provisioned and syncing

Set up read replica database

aws rds create-db-instance-read-replica --db-instance-identifier prod-replica --source-db-instance-identifier prod

✅ Replica lag <1s

Step 2✓ Reads routed to replica, writes to primary

Configure read/write splitting in application

@Injectable()
export class DatabaseService {
  constructor(
    private readonly writeDb: DataSource,
    private readonly readDb: DataSource,
  ) {}
  
  async query<T>(sql: string, write = false): Promise<T[]> {
    const db = write ? this.writeDb : this.readDb;
    return db.query(sql);
  }
}

✅ Read load distributed

Step 3✓ Replica lag 0.5s average

Monitor replica lag and adjust if needed

SELECT EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM (now() - pg_last_xact_replay_timestamp())) as replica_lag;

✅ Acceptable for application needs

Step 4✓ Connection pool scaled to 200

Add connection pooling to handle more concurrent connections

pool: { min: 20, max: 200, idleTimeoutMillis: 30000 }

✅ No connection exhaustion

Step 5✓ Throughput increased from 2000 to 5000 req/s

Verify scaling benefits with benchmark

npm run benchmark:scale

✅ 2.5x capacity increase

✓

✅

Security Audit and Vulnerability Remediation

Step 1✓ 12 vulnerabilities found, 8 auto-fixed

Run security audit for dependencies

npm audit
npm audit fix
npm install snyk -g
snyk test

✅ Remaining 4 require manual update

Step 2✓ Found SQL injection risk in raw query

Scan code for security issues

npm install --save-dev eslint-plugin-security
eslint . --ext .js,.ts --plugin security

✅ Security issues identified

Step 3✓ SQL injection vulnerability fixed

Implement security fixes

// BEFORE: Vulnerable
const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${userId}`;

// AFTER: Secure with parameterized queries
const query = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1';
await db.query(query, [userId]);

✅ Code review passed

Step 4✓ Security headers configured

Add security headers and HTTPS

app.use(helmet());
app.use(cors({
  origin: process.env.CORS_ORIGIN,
  credentials: true,
}));

✅ OWASP compliance verified

Step 5✓ No critical vulnerabilities found

Run penetration testing

npm install --save-dev owasp-zap-cli
owasp-zap-cli quick-scan http://localhost:3000

✅ Security audit passed

✓

Migration from Monolith to Microservices Architecture

Step 1✓ 3 core microservices identified

Identify service boundaries using domain-driven design

// Identify bounded contexts
// Users Service: User, Profile, Authentication
// Posts Service: Post, Comment, Like
// Notifications Service: Notification, Email, Push

✅ Domain boundaries clear

Step 2✓ Users microservice created

Extract first microservice with shared database initially

nest generate app users
npm install @nestjs/microservices amqp-connection-manager amqplib

✅ Can communicate via message queue

Step 3✓ API gateway routes requests to microservices

Implement API gateway for service routing

@Module({
  imports: [ClientsModule.register([...])],
})
export class ApiGatewayModule {}

✅ Services accessible through gateway

Step 4✓ Database split complete with data migration

Migrate database: split shared schema into service-specific schemas

-- Create users database
CREATE DATABASE users_db;
-- Migrate user-related tables
CREATE TABLE users_db.users AS SELECT * FROM shared_db.users;

✅ Data consistency verified

Step 5✓ All microservices deployed and communicating

Test with traffic rerouting and monitoring

kubectl apply -f microservices-deployment.yaml
kubectl port-forward svc/api-gateway 3000:3000
# Test all endpoints

✅ Migration successful
