🎨 Usage Examples

Example 1: Register New Model

// Create metadata
let mut metadata = ModelVersionMetadata::new(
    "dqn-v1.0.0".to_string(),
    ModelType::DQN,
    "1.0.0".to_string(),
    "databento_2024_Q4".to_string(),
    "s3://foxhunt-ml-models/dqn/1.0.0/".to_string(),
);

// Add hyperparameters
metadata.add_hyperparameter("epochs", serde_json::json!(500));
metadata.add_hyperparameter("batch_size", serde_json::json!(128));
metadata.add_hyperparameter("learning_rate", serde_json::json!(0.0001));

// Add metrics
metadata.add_metric("final_loss", serde_json::json!(0.001));
metadata.add_metric("sharpe_ratio", serde_json::json!(2.3));

// Set checksum
metadata.set_checksum("sha256:abc123...".to_string());

// Register
registry.register_version(&metadata).await?;

Example 2: Promote to Production

// Mark as production (auto-demotes other production models of same type)
registry.mark_production("dqn-v1.0.0").await?;

// Query production models
let production_models = registry.get_production_models().await?;
for model in production_models {
    println!("Production: {} ({})", model.model_id, model.model_type);
}

Example 3: Query by Date Range

let now = chrono::Utc::now();
let one_week_ago = now - chrono::Duration::days(7);

let recent_models = registry
    .get_models_by_date_range(one_week_ago, now)
    .await?;

println!("Models trained in last 7 days: {}", recent_models.len());

Example 4: Archive Old Model

// Archive old version
registry.archive_model("dqn-v0.9.0").await?;

// Archived models won't appear in production/experimental queries
let active_models = registry.get_models_by_type(ModelType::DQN).await?;
// dqn-v0.9.0 won't be in this list

🎯 Performance Characteristics

Query Performance

Query Type	Expected Latency	Index Used
Get by ID	<1ms	B-Tree (model_id)

Get by type	<10ms	B-Tree (model_type)
Date range	<20ms	B-Tree (training_date DESC)

🎓 Key Learnings

Technical Decisions

1. PostgreSQL over NoSQL:

   • Reason: ACID guarantees for model versions
   • Benefit: Transactional consistency
   • Trade-off: Slightly more complex schema

2. JSONB for Metadata:

   • Reason: Flexible schema for model-specific data
   • Benefit: No schema migrations for new metadata
   • Trade-off: Slower than fixed columns (but GIN indexes help)

3. In-memory Cache:

   • Reason: Avoid repeated DB queries for same model
   • Benefit: 100-1000x faster repeated lookups
   • Trade-off: Memory usage (minimal for metadata)

4. Semantic Versioning:

   • Reason: Industry standard for version management
   • Benefit: Clear upgrade paths (major.minor.patch)
   • Trade-off: Requires version string parsing
