Technical Architecture

PostgreSQL Hot-Reload Implementation

Database Layer:

-- Trigger function (migration 015)
CREATE FUNCTION notify_adaptive_strategy_config_change()
RETURNS TRIGGER AS $$
DECLARE payload JSON;
BEGIN
    payload = json_build_object(
        'table', TG_TABLE_NAME,
        'action', TG_OP,
        'strategy_id', COALESCE(NEW.strategy_id, OLD.strategy_id),
        'timestamp', EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM NOW())
    );
    PERFORM pg_notify('adaptive_strategy_config_change', payload::text);
    RETURN NEW;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

-- Triggers on all 3 tables
CREATE TRIGGER adaptive_strategy_config_notify
AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE OR DELETE ON adaptive_strategy_config
FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE FUNCTION notify_adaptive_strategy_config_change();

Rust Implementation:

// Enable hot-reload listener
pub async fn enable_hot_reload(&mut self) -> Result<(), sqlx::Error> {
    let mut listener = PgListener::connect_with(&self.pool).await?;
    listener.listen("adaptive_strategy_config_change").await?;
    self.listener = Some(listener);
    Ok(())
}

// Check for notifications (non-blocking)
pub async fn check_for_updates(&mut self) -> Result<Option<String>, sqlx::Error> {
    if let Some(listener) = &mut self.listener {
        if let Some(notification) = listener.try_recv().await? {
            // Parse JSON payload
            if let Ok(payload) = serde_json::from_str::<serde_json::Value>(notification.payload()) {
                if let Some(strategy_id) = payload.get("strategy_id").and_then(|v| v.as_str()) {
                    return Ok(Some(strategy_id.to_string()));
                }
            }
        }
    }
    Ok(None)
}

Test Highlights

Hot-Reload Notification Tests

Example: Multiple Listeners

#[tokio::test]
async fn test_hot_reload_multiple_listeners() {
    // Create 3 separate loaders (simulating multiple services)
    let mut loader1 = create_loader().await;
    let mut loader2 = create_loader().await;
    let mut loader3 = create_loader().await;

    loader1.enable_hot_reload().await.unwrap();
    loader2.enable_hot_reload().await.unwrap();
    loader3.enable_hot_reload().await.unwrap();

    // Trigger a change
    sqlx::query("UPDATE adaptive_strategy_config SET max_position_size = 0.08
                 WHERE strategy_id = 'default-production'")
        .execute(&pool)
        .await
        .unwrap();

    // All 3 listeners should receive identical notification
    let notif1 = wait_for_notification(&mut loader1, 5).await.unwrap();
    let notif2 = wait_for_notification(&mut loader2, 5).await.unwrap();
    let notif3 = wait_for_notification(&mut loader3, 5).await.unwrap();

    assert_eq!(notif1, notif2);
    assert_eq!(notif2, notif3);
}

ACID Transaction Tests

Example: Atomic Updates

#[tokio::test]
async fn test_atomic_config_update_all_or_nothing() {
    let mut tx = pool.begin().await.unwrap();

    // Update all 3 tables atomically
    sqlx::query("UPDATE adaptive_strategy_config SET name = 'Updated' WHERE id = $1")
        .bind(config_id)
        .execute(&mut *tx)
        .await
        .unwrap();

    sqlx::query("INSERT INTO adaptive_strategy_models (...) VALUES (...)")
        .execute(&mut *tx)
        .await
        .unwrap();

    sqlx::query("INSERT INTO adaptive_strategy_features (...) VALUES (...)")
        .execute(&mut *tx)
        .await
        .unwrap();

    // Commit transaction - all or nothing
    tx.commit().await.unwrap();

    // Verify all changes persisted
    assert_eq!(model_count, 1);
    assert_eq!(feature_count, 1);
}

Concurrent Update Tests

Example: Optimistic Locking

#[tokio::test]
async fn test_concurrent_updates_with_version() {
    // Two tasks try to update based on version=1
    let task1 = tokio::spawn(async move {
        sqlx::query("UPDATE adaptive_strategy_config
                     SET name = 'Task 1', version = version + 1
                     WHERE strategy_id = $1 AND version = 1")
            .execute(&pool1)
            .await
    });

    let task2 = tokio::spawn(async move {
        sqlx::query("UPDATE adaptive_strategy_config
                     SET name = 'Task 2', version = version + 1
                     WHERE strategy_id = $1 AND version = 1")
            .execute(&pool2)
            .await
    });

    // Only one should succeed (rows_affected=1)
    assert_eq!(result1.rows_affected() + result2.rows_affected(), 1);
    assert_eq!(final_version, 2); // Incremented once only
}

Test Execution

Basic Testing

# Run all hot-reload tests
cargo test --test hot_reload_integration --features postgres

# Run with output
cargo test --test hot_reload_integration --features postgres -- --nocapture

# Run specific test
cargo test test_hot_reload_enable_and_listen --features postgres

Performance Testing

# Run performance benchmarks (normally ignored)
cargo test --test hot_reload_integration --features postgres -- --ignored --nocapture

Prerequisites

# Set database connection
export DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/foxhunt_test"

# Run migrations
sqlx migrate run

---

Test Helpers

Core Helpers:

// Create loader for testing
async fn create_loader() -> DatabaseConfigLoader

// Create separate connection pool
async fn create_test_pool() -> PgPool

// Wait for notification with timeout (prevents hangs)
async fn wait_for_notification(loader: &mut DatabaseConfigLoader, timeout_secs: u64)
    -> Result<Option<String>, Box<dyn std::error::Error>>

// Cleanup test data
async fn cleanup_test_strategy(pool: &PgPool, strategy_id: &str)

Pattern 1: Dual Connection Testing

• Loader for listening (NOTIFY receiver)
• Separate pool for updates (SQL operations)
• Prevents self-notification issues

Pattern 2: Transaction Verification

• Begin transaction
• Perform operations
• Commit/rollback
• Verify via separate query

Pattern 3: Concurrent Tasks

• Spawn multiple async tasks
• Coordinate via channels or delays
• Verify race condition handling

---

Performance Targets

Latency Benchmarks (p99)

• Config Load: < 100ms
• Notification Propagation: < 100ms
• Transaction Commit: < 50ms

Tested Scenarios

• Concurrent Listeners: 3+ simultaneous services
• Update Frequency: 10 updates/second sustained
• Config Complexity: 3-5 models, 4-6 features per strategy

Gap Analysis: Phases 1-3 vs Phase 4

What Phases 1-3 Provided

✅ Database schema (migration 015) ✅ Configuration type definitions ✅ CRUD operations and seed data ✅ Basic loading tests (production, development, aggressive configs) ✅ Validation tests ✅ Model/feature association tests

What Phase 4 Adds (This Deliverable)

✅ Hot-reload notification tests (6 tests) ✅ ACID transaction verification (5 tests) ✅ Concurrent update handling (1 test) ✅ Performance benchmarks (2 tests) ✅ Edge case/failure mode tests (4 tests) ✅ Comprehensive documentation

Critical Gaps Filled:

1. No hot-reload testing → 6 comprehensive NOTIFY/LISTEN tests
2. No ACID verification → 5 transaction integrity tests
3. No concurrency testing → Optimistic locking via version field
4. No performance data → Latency benchmarks with p99 targets
5. No failure mode testing → 4 error handling/resilience tests
6. No integration docs → 30+ page documentation with examples
