Performance Targets

Scalability

Horizontal Scaling: 3-20 pods (auto-scaling)
Database: Cloud SQL with connection pooling
Caching: Redis for session and query caching
CDN: Optional Cloud CDN for static assets

Expected Performance

Response Time: <200ms (p50), <500ms (p99)
Throughput: 1000+ requests/second (with 10 pods)
Availability: 99.9% uptime (three 9s)
Database Connections: Pool of 10-20 per pod
Memory per Pod: 512MB-1GB
CPU per Pod: 500m-1000m

Cost Estimate (Monthly)

GKE Cluster

Nodes: 3-10 nodes (n1-standard-2) = $150-$500
Cloud SQL: db-custom-2-8GB = $150
Load Balancer: Global HTTPS = $20
Static IP: $7
Storage: GCS (100GB) = $2
Bandwidth: Egress (500GB) = $50

Total: ~$380-$730/month (depending on scale)

Optimization:

Use preemptible nodes for non-critical workloads (-60% cost)
Right-size resource requests after monitoring
Enable Cloud CDN to reduce bandwidth costs

Migration Path (v1 → v2)

Database Migration

Export v1 Data:
- Extract data from static JSON files
- Convert to Django fixtures or CSV

Load into v2:

python manage.py loaddata fixtures/v1_data.json

Verify:
- Check all data migrated correctly
- Run validation queries

Frontend Migration

Update API Endpoints:
- Change from static JSON to REST API
- Update authentication (JWT)
Test:
- Verify all features work
- Performance testing

Rollback Plan

If issues arise:

Keep v1 running during transition
Blue-green deployment strategy
Database backup before migration
Ability to roll back to previous version

Success Metrics

Technical

✅ 100% test coverage for critical paths
✅ <200ms API response time (p50)
✅ 99.9% uptime
✅ Zero security vulnerabilities (critical/high)
✅ Auto-scaling working (3-20 pods)
✅ SSL certificate auto-renewal

Business

Multi-tenant ready (support thousands of tenants)
Scalable to millions of users
Production-grade security (GDPR, SOC 2 ready)
