jgrusewski 9c3d741a08 refactor: restructure repo — crates/, bin/, testing/ layout
Move 17 library crates into crates/, CLI binary into bin/fxt,
consolidate 10 test crates into testing/, split config crate
from deployment config files.

Root directory reduced from 38+ to ~17 directories.
All Cargo.toml paths and build.rs proto refs updated.

Load Testing Cheat Sheet

Prerequisites Check

# Docker services running?
docker ps | grep -E "(redis|postgres)" | wc -l  # Should be 2+

# API Gateway running?
curl -f http://localhost:50050/health && echo "✅ Ready" || echo "❌ Not running"

# Load tests built?
ls -lah ../../target/release/load_test_runner && echo "✅ Built" || echo "❌ Not built"

Quick Commands

Run Tests

# Normal Load (1K clients, 60s)
cargo run -r --bin load_test_runner -- normal

# Spike Load (0→10K clients)
cargo run -r --bin load_test_runner -- spike

# Stress Test (find breaking point)
cargo run -r --bin load_test_runner -- stress

# All tests
cargo run -r --bin load_test_runner -- all

Extract Metrics

# Error Rate

Performance Targets

Metric Target Pass/Fail
P99 Latency <10μs /
Throughput >100K req/s /
Error Rate <0.1% /

Troubleshooting

Connection Refused

# Start API Gateway
cargo run -r -p api_gateway

High Latency

# Check CPU
top -p $(pgrep api_gateway)

# Check DB connections
psql -h localhost -p 5433 -U postgres -c 'SELECT count(*) FROM pg_stat_activity;'

High Errors

# Check logs
docker logs foxhunt-api-gateway --tail 50

# Check backend health
curl http://localhost:50051/health  # Trading
curl http://localhost:50052/health  # Backtesting
curl http://localhost:50053/health  # ML Training

5-Minute Validation

# 1. Start services
docker-compose up -d redis postgres

# 2. Start API Gateway
cargo run -r -p api_gateway &

# 3. Wait for startup
sleep 5

# 4. Run quick test
cd services/api_gateway/load_tests
cargo run -r --bin load_test_runner -- normal --num-clients 100 --duration-secs 30

# 5. Check results
firefox normal_load_report.html

Expected Results

Good Performance

Requests/Second:  >100,000
Error Rate:       <0.1%
P99 Latency:      <10μs

Needs Work ⚠️

Requests/Second:  1,000-10,000
Error Rate:       0.5%-5%
P99 Latency:      10-100ms
