Epic G: Performance and Operability at Scale

Summary

Harden migration performance and operational resilience for larger datasets, repeated runs, and production-like load conditions.

Why This Epic

Current behavior is tuned for smaller or early-stage flows. Scaling to larger reconciliation datasets and non-empty databases requires deliberate performance and reliability engineering.

Goals

  • Keep migration review and writes performant at larger volumes.
  • Improve reliability for long-running and dependency-heavy operations.
  • Define measurable operational targets and alerting.
  • Validate behavior with scale and repeat-run tests.

Non-Goals

  • Broad non-migration platform performance work.
  • Replacing existing infrastructure stack in this phase.

User Stories

Story G1: Add pagination/index strategy for large reconciliation datasets

As a user, I want large result sets to load predictably so review remains usable.

Story G2: Add background processing and progress for long-running writes

As an operator, I want long writes to run safely with progress visibility.

Story G3: Add timeout/retry/circuit behavior for external dependencies

As a maintainer, I want resilient dependency handling so transient failures do not corrupt run state.

Story G4: Add SLOs and alerts for migration duration and failure rate

As an SRE, I want objective targets and alerts so regressions are caught quickly.

Story G5: Add load tests for non-empty DB and repeated-run scenarios

As a QA engineer, I want load coverage for realistic data states so scale risks are known before release.

Definition of Done

  • Large dataset review and writes meet defined performance targets.
  • Long-running operations expose progress and safe completion states.
  • SLOs and alert thresholds are documented and wired.
  • Load tests cover non-empty DB and repeat-run behavior.
