🚀 Key Features

1. Production-Ready PostgreSQL Configuration

Optimized Parameters:

max_connections: 100
shared_buffers: 256MB
effective_cache_size: 1GB
maintenance_work_mem: 64MB
checkpoint_completion_target: 0.9
wal_buffers: 16MB
work_mem: 4MB

2. Advanced Data Types

Before (SQLite):

model PresenceEvent {
  id        Int      @id @default(autoincrement())
  clients   String   // "desktop,web"
  createdAt DateTime @default(now())
}

After (PostgreSQL):

model PresenceEvent {
  id        String   @id @default(uuid())
  clients   String[] // ["desktop", "web"]
  metadata  Json?    @db.JsonB
  createdAt DateTime @default(now()) @db.Timestamptz

  @@index([userId])
  @@index([createdAt])
}

3. Full-Text Search

// Setup
DB_PASSWORD=pass npm run db:fulltext

// Query
const results = await db.$queryRaw`
  SELECT *, ts_rank(content_search, to_tsquery('english', ${query})) AS rank
  FROM "MessageEvent"
  WHERE content_search @@ to_tsquery('english', ${query})
  ORDER BY rank DESC
`;

4. Automated Management

Backup:

DB_PASSWORD=pass npm run db:backup

Maintenance:

DB_PASSWORD=pass npm run db:maintenance

Migration:

npm run db:migrate:dry  # Test first
npm run db:migrate      # Actual migration

📊 Schema Changes Summary

Event Models (Breaking Changes)

Model	ID Type	Array Fields	Metadata	Timestamps
PresenceEvent	Int → UUID	clients → String[]	Added JSONB	→ Timestamptz
TypingEvent	Int → UUID	-	Added JSONB	→ Timestamptz
MessageEvent	Int → UUID	-	Added JSONB	→ Timestamptz
JoinEvent	Int → UUID	-	Added JSONB	→ Timestamptz
DeletedMessageEvent	Int → UUID	-	Added JSONB	→ Timestamptz
ReactionTime	Int → UUID	-	Added JSONB	→ Timestamptz
RoleChangeEvent	Int → UUID	addedRoles → String[]	Added JSONB	→ Timestamptz

All Models

• All timestamps upgraded to @db.Timestamptz
• All JSON fields upgraded to @db.JsonB
• Strategic indexes added for performance

<EFBFBD><EFBFBD> Usage Examples

Migration from SQLite

# 1. Start PostgreSQL
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up postgres -d

# 2. Apply schema
cd backend
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://spywatcher:password@localhost:5432/spywatcher" \
  npx prisma migrate deploy

# 3. Test migration
DRY_RUN=true \
  SQLITE_DATABASE_URL="file:./prisma/dev.db" \
  DATABASE_URL="postgresql://spywatcher:password@localhost:5432/spywatcher" \
  npm run db:migrate:dry

# 4. Migrate data
SQLITE_DATABASE_URL="file:./prisma/dev.db" \
  DATABASE_URL="postgresql://spywatcher:password@localhost:5432/spywatcher" \
  npm run db:migrate

# 5. Setup full-text search
DB_PASSWORD=password npm run db:fulltext

Daily Operations

Production Deployment

# Deploy with Docker Compose
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
