Integration Steps

For Next Developer

No Action Required - Database is production-ready ✅

Optional post-deployment tasks:

1. Monitor for 7 days (compression validation)

   # After 7+ days, run:
   ./verify_db_optimization.sh
   # Expected: compression_ratio >= 5x
   

2. Populate model_performance_attribution (when ML training completes)

   -- Insert rolling metrics via ML training service
   -- Tables and indexes already optimized
   

3. Set up Grafana dashboards (optional)

   • See report Appendix C for panel queries
   • 4 panels: write throughput, query latency, compression ratio, model performance

4. Configure alerting (optional)

   • Prometheus: Write throughput <500/sec (RED)
   • Prometheus: Query latency P99 >100ms (RED)
   • TimescaleDB: Compression ratio <3x (YELLOW)
