   • Persistence configuration (RDB snapshots)
   • Memory management (512MB max, LRU eviction)

2. Three-Level Caching Strategy

   • L1 Cache (5 min TTL): DB query results (scenario list, metrics)

from src.core.cache import cached, cache_manager

@cached(ttl=300)
async def get_scenario_list():
    # This result will be cached for 5 minutes
    return await scenario_repository.get_multi(db)

# Manual cache operations
await cache_manager.set_l1("scenarios", data)
cached_data = await cache_manager.get_l1("scenarios")

Migration Guide

For API Clients

1. Update API Version

   • Change base URL from /api/v1/ to /api/v2/
   • v1 will be deprecated on 2026-12-31

2. Handle Rate Limits

   • Check X-RateLimit-Remaining header
   • Implement retry with exponential backoff on 429

3. Async Reports

   • POST to create report → returns task ID
   • Poll GET status endpoint until complete
   • Download when status is "completed"

4. Correlation IDs

   • Send X-Correlation-ID header for request tracing
   • Check response headers for tracking

For Developers

1. Start Services

   docker-compose up -d redis celery-worker celery-beat
   

2. Monitor Tasks

   # Open Flower UI
   open http://localhost:5555/flower/
   

3. Check Logs

   # View structured JSON logs
   docker-compose logs -f backend
