}
``` **Component Styling Pattern:**
```tsx
// Example: Using theme variables in components
<button className="bg-primary text-primary-foreground hover:bg-primary/90"> Place Bet
</button> <Badge className="bg-status-live-bg text-status-live"> LIVE
</Badge>

``` ### 3.2 Database Architecture **Connection Pooling (asyncpg):**
```python
# server/app/database.py
DATABASE_CONFIG = { 'min_size': 10, # Minimum pool size 'max_size': 50, # Maximum concurrent connections 'max_queries': 50000, # Queries per connection before reset 'max_inactive_connection_lifetime': 300, # 5 min idle timeout 'command_timeout': 30, # 30s query timeout
}
``` **Key Tables:**
- `users` - User accounts, roles (agent, bettor), authentication
- `bets` - Betting transactions, odds, outcomes, settlements
- `transactions` - Financial ledger (credits, debits, settlements)
- `agents` - Agent hierarchy, commission structure, limits
- `odds_cache` - Materialized views for fast sidebar rendering
- `sports_metadata` - Sports, leagues, teams, games (cached)
- `settlements` - Tuesday settlement cycles, compliance tracking
- `ml_predictions` - Cached ML model outputs **Critical Index Strategy:**
- `idx_users_username` - Fast user lookup
- `idx_bets_user_id_created` - User bet history (DESC order)
- `idx_transactions_agent_id_date` - Agent financial reports
- `idx_odds_cache_sport_league` - Sidebar query optimization
- `idx_bets_status_created` - Live bets dashboard **Row Level Security (RLS):**
```sql
-- Users can only see their own bets
CREATE POLICY user_bets_policy ON bets FOR SELECT USING (user_id = auth.uid()); -- Agents can see their customers' bets
CREATE POLICY agent_customer_bets_policy ON bets FOR SELECT USING ( user_id IN ( SELECT id FROM users WHERE agent_id = auth.uid() ) );
``` ### 3.3 Caching Strategy (Redis) **Tiered TTL Strategy:** ```python
# server/app/cache.py
CACHE_STRATEGIES = { 'HOT': { 'ttl': 300, # 5 minutes 'use_cases': [ 'live_odds', # Real-time betting lines 'active_sessions', # JWT session cache 'live_game_status', # In-progress games 'user_balance', # Account balances ], 'refresh': 'background' # Stale-while-revalidate }, 'WARM': { 'ttl': 3600, # 1 hour 'use_cases': [ 'sports_metadata', # Sports, leagues, teams 'upcoming_games', # Scheduled games (>1hr out) 'game_results', # Final scores 'historical_odds', # Past betting lines ], 'refresh': 'on_demand' }, 'COLD': { 'ttl': 86400, # 24 hours 'use_cases': [ 'analytics_cache', # ML predictions, insights 'user_statistics', # Historical user stats 'agent_reports', # Agent performance data 'archived_games', # Games >7 days old ], 'refresh': 'scheduled' # Daily refresh at 3AM }
}
``` **Cache Key Patterns:**
```python
# Session cache
f"session:{token_hash}" # JWT session data # Odds cache
f"odds:hot:{sport}:{league}" # Live odds (5min TTL)
f"odds:warm:{game_id}" # Game-specific odds (1hr TTL) # User data cache
f"user:balance:{user_id}" # Account balance (5min)
f"user:stats:{user_id}:{date}" # Daily stats (24hr) # Agent cache
f"agent:customers:{agent_id}" # Customer list (1hr)
f"agent:dashboard:{agent_id}" # Dashboard metrics (5min)
``` **Cache Hit Ratio Monitoring:**
```python
@app.get("/health")
async def health_check(): cache_stats = await redis_client.info('stats') hit_ratio = cache_stats['keyspace_hits'] / ( cache_stats['keyspace_hits'] + cache_stats['keyspace_misses'] ) return { 'cache_hit_ratio': hit_ratio, # Target: >95% 'pool_size': db_pool.get_size(), # Current connections 'pool_free': db_pool.get_idle_size(), }
``` ### 3.4 API Optimization Patterns **1. Query Batching (N+1 Prevention):**
```python
# BAD: N+1 query problem
async def get_user_bets(user_id: int): user = await db.get_user(user_id) # 1 query for bet in user.bets: bet.game = await db.get_game(bet.game_id) # N queries return user.bets # GOOD: Single query with JOIN
async def get_user_bets_optimized(user_id: int): query = select(Bet).join(Game).where(Bet.user_id == user_id) result = await db.execute(query) return result.scalars().all() # 1 query
``` **2. Response Compression (GZip Middleware):**
```python
# Automatic 60-80% response size reduction
app.add_middleware(GZipMiddleware, minimum_size=1000)
``` **3. Pagination for Large Datasets:**
```python
@router.get("/agent/customers")
async def get_customers( agent_id: int, page: int = 1, per_page: int = 50, # Max 100
): offset = (page - 1) * per_page customers = await db.query(User).filter( User.agent_id == agent_id ).offset(offset).limit(per_page).all() return { 'data': customers, 'page': page, 'per_page': per_page, 'total': await db.query(User).filter( User.agent_id == agent_id ).count() }
``` **4. Background Task Processing:**
```python
from fastapi import BackgroundTasks @router.post("/bets")
async def place_bet( bet_data: BetCreate, background_tasks: BackgroundTasks
): # Process bet immediately bet = await betting_service.create_bet(bet_data) # Update analytics in background (non-blocking) background_tasks.add_task( analytics_service.update_user_stats, user_id=bet.user_id ) return bet
``` ### 3.5 WebSocket Architecture **Connection Management:**
```python
# server/app/routers/websocket/odds_ws.py
class ConnectionManager: def __init__(self): self.active_connections: Dict[str, WebSocket] = {} async def connect(self, websocket: WebSocket, client_id: str): await websocket.accept() self.active_connections[client_id] = websocket async def broadcast_odds_update(self, sport: str, data: dict): # Efficient broadcast to all clients subscribed to sport disconnected = [] for client_id, websocket in self.active_connections.items(): try: await websocket.send_json(data) except WebSocketDisconnect: disconnected.append(client_id) # Cleanup disconnected clients for client_id in disconnected: del self.active_connections[client_id] manager = ConnectionManager() @router.websocket("/ws/odds/{sport}")
async def odds_websocket(websocket: WebSocket, sport: str): client_id = str(uuid.uuid4()) await manager.connect(websocket, client_id) try: while True: # Receive client heartbeat await websocket.receive_text() # Send live odds (throttled to 1 update/30s) odds = await cache_service.get_live_odds(sport) await websocket.send_json(odds) await asyncio.sleep(30) except WebSocketDisconnect: del manager.active_connections[client_id]
``` **Capacity Analysis:**
- **Current:** 4 FastAPI workers × 1,000 connections/worker = 4,000 concurrent WebSocket users
- **Typical Usage:** 20-30% of concurrent users need real-time updates
- **Effective Capacity:** 10,000 total users × 25% WebSocket usage = 2,500 active connections
- **Scaling Path (Phase 2):** Horizontal scaling with Redis pub/sub for cross-worker communication --- ## 4. Scalability Architecture (Production) ### 4.1 Current Performance Baseline **Achieved (Phase 1 - Week 2 COMPLETE):**
- **Concurrent User Capacity:** 10,000-15,000 users
- **Cache Hit Ratio:** 95%+ (Redis HOT/WARM/COLD strategies)
- **API Response Time:** 2-5ms (cached), 50-100ms (database)
- **Authentication:** Sub-10ms JWT validation (Redis session cache)
- **Database Connections:** 50 concurrent (asyncpg pool)
- **Redis Connections:** 50 concurrent (connection pool)
- **The Odds API Usage:** 100-200 calls/min (vs 6,000 limit = 98% headroom) **Performance Improvement from Baseline:**
- **20x capacity increase** (500 -> 10,000 users)
- **100x faster cached responses** (5ms vs 500ms)
- **90% reduction in database query load**
- **98% reduction in Odds API costs** ### 4.2 Bottleneck Analysis (Current Constraints) **Primary Bottleneck: Database Connection Pool**
- **Capacity:** 50 concurrent connections (asyncpg)
- **User Impact:** Supports 10,000-12,000 concurrent users
- **Failure Mode:** Connection pool exhaustion -> 500 errors, timeouts
- **Monitoring:** `/health` endpoint tracks pool utilization
- **Threshold Alerts:** - Warning: >75% pool utilization - Critical: >90% pool utilization **Secondary Bottleneck: WebSocket Capacity**
- **Capacity:** 4,000-6,000 concurrent WebSocket connections
- **User Impact:** 25-30% of users can use real-time features
- **Failure Mode:** Connection rejections, degraded updates
- **Mitigation:** Horizontal worker scaling (Phase 2) **External Dependency: The Odds API**
- **Capacity:** 6,000 calls/minute (100/second)
- **Current Usage:** 100-200 calls/min (98% headroom)
- **Failure Mode:** 429 Too Many Requests -> Stale odds data
- **Mitigation:** Intelligent caching, multi-provider fallback (Phase 3) ### 4.3 Scaling Roadmap **Phase 1: Foundation (Weeks 1-4) - 50% COMPLETE** **Objective:** 10,000 concurrent users **Completed (Weeks 1-2):**
- Database connection pooling (asyncpg, 10-50 connections)

- [ ] Object storage: S3 for reports, exports, ML model artifacts **Expected Outcome:** 100,000+ concurrent users with 99.9% uptime --- ### 4.4 Database Crisis Management (URGENT - Epic 2) **Current State:**
- **Storage Capacity:** 97.4% full (Supabase free/hobby tier limit)
- **Primary Cause:** Historical odds accumulation (millions of records)
- **Impact:** Risk of database write failures, service outage **Immediate Actions (Week 3 - PRIORITY 1):** **1. Odds Archive Strategy:**
```sql
-- Archive odds older than 30 days to separate table
CREATE TABLE odds_archive ( -- Same schema as odds table -- Partitioned by month for efficient storage
) PARTITION BY RANGE (created_at); -- Move historical odds (batch process)
INSERT INTO odds_archive
SELECT * FROM odds
WHERE created_at < NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days'; -- Delete archived odds from active table
DELETE FROM odds
WHERE created_at < NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days'; -- Expected savings: 70-80% capacity reduction
``` **2. Automated Archival Cron Job:**
```python
# server/app/jobs/archive_odds.py
from apscheduler.schedulers.asyncio import AsyncIOScheduler scheduler = AsyncIOScheduler() @scheduler.scheduled_job('cron', hour=3, minute=0) # Daily at 3 AM
async def archive_old_odds(): cutoff_date = datetime.now() - timedelta(days=30) # Archive in batches to avoid blocking batch_size = 10000 while True: archived = await db.execute( "INSERT INTO odds_archive SELECT * FROM odds " f"WHERE created_at < '{cutoff_date}' LIMIT {batch_size}" ) if archived.rowcount == 0: break await db.execute( f"DELETE FROM odds WHERE created_at < '{cutoff_date}' LIMIT {batch_size}" ) await asyncio.sleep(5) # Rate limiting logger.info(f"Archived odds older than {cutoff_date}")
``` **3. Monitoring & Alerts:**
```python
@app.get("/health")
async def health_check(): # Database size monitoring db_size = await db.execute( "SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size(current_database()))" ) return { 'database_size': db_size, 'storage_threshold': '80%', # Alert if >80% 'current_utilization': '97.4%', # CRITICAL }
``` **Expected Outcome:**
- **Target:** Reduce database size from 97.4% -> <70%
- **Timeline:** Week 3 implementation, ongoing daily archival
- **Storage Freed:** ~70-80% of current usage --- ## 5. Implementation Patterns & Standards ### 5.1 Frontend Patterns **React Query Data Fetching Pattern:**
```tsx
// client/src/hooks/useUserBets.ts
import { useQuery } from '@tanstack/react-query'; export function useUserBets(userId: string) { return useQuery({ queryKey: ['user', 'bets', userId], queryFn: async () => { const response = await fetch(`/api/user/${userId}/bets`, { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${getToken()}` } }); if (!response.ok) throw new Error('Failed to fetch bets'); return response.json(); }, staleTime: 5 * 60 * 1000, // 5 minutes (HOT cache aligned) cacheTime: 10 * 60 * 1000, // 10 minutes refetchOnWindowFocus: true, // Refresh on tab focus retry: 3, // Retry failed requests });
} // Usage in component
function UserBetsPage() { const { data: bets, isLoading, error } = useUserBets(userId); if (isLoading) return <BetsSkeletonLoader />; if (error) return <ErrorAlert message={error.message} />; return <BetsTable bets={bets} />;
}
``` **Virtual Scrolling Pattern (Sports Sidebar):**
```tsx
// client/src/components/composite/betting/SportsSidebar.tsx
import { useVirtualizer } from '@tanstack/react-virtual'; export function SportsSidebar({ sports }: { sports: Sport[] }) { const parentRef = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null); const virtualizer = useVirtualizer({ count: sports.length, getScrollElement: () => parentRef.current, estimateSize: () => 60, // 60px per row overscan: 10, // Render 10 extra items above/below viewport }); return ( <div ref={parentRef} className="h-screen overflow-y-auto"> <div style={{ height: `${virtualizer.getTotalSize()}px`, position: 'relative', }} > {virtualizer.getVirtualItems().map((virtualItem) => ( <div key={virtualItem.key} style={{ position: 'absolute', top: 0, left: 0, width: '100%', height: `${virtualItem.size}px`, transform: `translateY(${virtualItem.start}px)`, }} > <SportRow sport={sports[virtualItem.index]} /> </div> ))} </div> </div> );
}
``` **Form Validation Pattern (react-hook-form + Zod):**
```tsx
// client/src/components/agent/CreateCustomerForm.tsx
import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form';
import { zodResolver } from '@hookform/resolvers/zod';
import { z } from 'zod'; const createCustomerSchema = z.object({ username: z.string().min(3).max(20), password: z.string().min(8), creditLimit: z.number().min(0).max(10000), contactInfo: z.string().optional(),
}); type CreateCustomerForm = z.infer<typeof createCustomerSchema>; export function CreateCustomerForm() { const { register, handleSubmit, formState: { errors } } = useForm<CreateCustomerForm>({ resolver: zodResolver(createCustomerSchema), defaultValues: { creditLimit: 500, // Smart default }, }); const onSubmit = async (data: CreateCustomerForm) => { await fetch('/api/agent/customers', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify(data), }); }; return ( <form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}> <Input {...register('username')} error={errors.username?.message} /> <Input {...register('password')} type="password" error={errors.password?.message} /> <Input {...register('creditLimit')} type="number" error={errors.creditLimit?.message} /> <Button type="submit">Create Customer</Button> </form> );
}
``` ### 5.2 Backend Patterns **Dependency Injection (FastAPI):**
```python
# server/app/routers/agent/customers.py
from fastapi import Depends, HTTPException
from app.services.auth_service import get_current_user, require_agent_role
from app.services.cache_service import CacheService @router.get("/agent/customers")
async def get_customers( current_user: User = Depends(require_agent_role), cache: CacheService = Depends(get_cache_service),
): # Check cache first (1hr TTL) cache_key = f"agent:customers:{current_user.id}" cached_customers = await cache.get(cache_key) if cached_customers: return cached_customers # Fetch from database customers = await db.query(User).filter( User.agent_id == current_user.id ).all() # Cache for 1 hour (WARM strategy) await cache.set(cache_key, customers, ttl=3600) return customers
``` **Error Handling Pattern:**
```python
# server/app/middleware/error_handler.py
from fastapi import Request, HTTPException
from fastapi.responses import JSONResponse @app.exception_handler(HTTPException)
async def http_exception_handler(request: Request, exc: HTTPException): return JSONResponse( status_code=exc.status_code, content={ 'error': exc.detail, 'code': exc.status_code, 'path': request.url.path, } ) @app.exception_handler(Exception)
async def general_exception_handler(request: Request, exc: Exception): # Log to Sentry sentry_sdk.capture_exception(exc) return JSONResponse( status_code=500, content={ 'error': 'Internal server error', 'code': 500, 'request_id': request.state.request_id, } )
``` **Background Task Pattern:**
```python
# server/app/routers/betting/bets.py
from fastapi import BackgroundTasks async def update_analytics(user_id: int, bet_id: int): """Update user statistics in background""" await analytics_service.increment_bet_count(user_id) await analytics_service.update_risk_exposure(user_id) logger.info(f"Analytics updated for user {user_id}, bet {bet_id}") @router.post("/bets")
async def place_bet( bet_data: BetCreate, background_tasks: BackgroundTasks, current_user: User = Depends(get_current_user),
): # Synchronous: Place bet and return immediately bet = await betting_service.create_bet(bet_data, current_user.id) # Asynchronous: Update analytics without blocking response background_tasks.add_task(update_analytics, current_user.id, bet.id) return bet
``` --- ## 6. Security Architecture ### 6.1 Authentication Flow (JWT + Redis) ```mermaid
sequenceDiagram participant C as Client participant API as FastAPI participant R as Redis participant DB as PostgreSQL C->>API: POST /auth/login (username, password) API->>DB: Query user by username DB-->>API: User record API->>API: Verify password (bcrypt) API->>API: Generate JWT token (24hr expiry) API->>R: Cache session (token_hash -> user_data, 5min TTL) API-->>C: Return JWT token Note over C,API: Subsequent Authenticated Requests C->>API: GET /user/profile (Authorization: Bearer {token}) API->>API: Validate JWT signature (1-2ms) API->>R: Get session (token_hash) alt Cache Hit (95% of requests) R-->>API: User session data (2-5ms) API-->>C: Profile data else Cache Miss (5% of requests) R-->>API: Cache miss API->>DB: Query user by ID from JWT DB-->>API: User record API->>R: Cache session (5min refresh) API-->>C: Profile data end
``` ### 6.2 Row Level Security (PostgreSQL) **Agent Customer Isolation:**
```sql
-- Agents can only access their own customers
CREATE POLICY agent_customer_access ON users FOR ALL USING ( agent_id = auth.uid() OR id = auth.uid() ); -- Agents can only see bets from their customers
CREATE POLICY agent_customer_bets ON bets FOR SELECT USING ( user_id IN ( SELECT id FROM users WHERE agent_id = auth.uid() ) OR user_id = auth.uid() );
``` **Bettor Data Isolation:**
```sql
-- Users can only access their own data
CREATE POLICY user_self_access ON users FOR ALL USING (id = auth.uid()); CREATE POLICY user_own_bets ON bets FOR ALL USING (user_id = auth.uid());
``` ### 6.3 Rate Limiting **IP-Based Rate Limiting (Middleware):**
```python
# server/app/middleware/rate_limit.py
from slowapi import Limiter
from slowapi.util import get_remote_address limiter = Limiter(key_func=get_remote_address) # Login endpoint: 5 requests per minute
@app.post("/auth/login")
@limiter.limit("5/minute")
async def login(credentials: LoginCredentials): # ... authentication logic # General API: 100 requests per minute
@app.get("/api/*")
@limiter.limit("100/minute")
async def api_endpoint(): # ... endpoint logic
``` **Redis-Based Distributed Rate Limiting:**
```python
async def check_rate_limit(ip: str, endpoint: str, limit: int, window: int): key = f"ratelimit:{ip}:{endpoint}" current = await redis_client.incr(key) if current == 1: await redis_client.expire(key, window) if current > limit: raise HTTPException( status_code=429, detail=f"Rate limit exceeded. Try again in {window}s" )
``` ### 6.4 Input Validation (Pydantic) ```python
# server/app/schemas/bet_schema.py
from pydantic import BaseModel, validator
from decimal import Decimal class BetCreate(BaseModel): game_id: int bet_type: str # 'spread', 'moneyline', 'total' selection: str stake: Decimal odds: Decimal @validator('stake') def validate_stake(cls, v): if v <= 0: raise ValueError('Stake must be positive') if v > 10000: raise ValueError('Stake cannot exceed $10,000') return v @validator('bet_type') def validate_bet_type(cls, v): allowed = ['spread', 'moneyline', 'total', 'parlay'] if v not in allowed: raise ValueError(f'Bet type must be one of {allowed}') return v class Config: # Prevent extra fields (security hardening) extra = 'forbid'
``` --- ## 7. Monitoring & Observability ### 7.1 Health Check Endpoint ```python
# server/app/routers/health.py
@app.get("/health")
async def health_check(): """Comprehensive health check for monitoring""" # Database pool stats db_pool = await get_db_pool() db_stats = { 'pool_size': db_pool.get_size(), 'idle_connections': db_pool.get_idle_size(), 'max_size': 50, 'utilization_pct': (db_pool.get_size() / 50) * 100, } # Redis cache stats cache_info = await redis_client.info('stats') cache_stats = { 'hits': cache_info['keyspace_hits'], 'misses': cache_info['keyspace_misses'], 'hit_ratio': cache_info['keyspace_hits'] / ( cache_info['keyspace_hits'] + cache_info['keyspace_misses'] ), 'connected_clients': cache_info['connected_clients'], } # Odds API usage odds_api_stats = { 'calls_today': await redis_client.get('odds_api:calls:today') or 0, 'calls_limit': 6000, # per minute 'current_usage_pct': (int(await redis_client.get('odds_api:calls:today') or 0) / 6000) * 100, } return { 'status': 'healthy', 'timestamp': datetime.utcnow().isoformat(), 'database': db_stats, 'cache': cache_stats, 'odds_api': odds_api_stats, 'version': '1.0.0', }
``` ### 7.2 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) **Application Health:**
- **API Response Time:** P50, P95, P99 latency
- **Error Rate:** 4xx and 5xx percentages (target <1%)
- **Request Throughput:** Requests per second
- **Uptime:** 99.9% availability target **Database Performance:**
- **Connection Pool Utilization:** Active / Max connections (alert >75%)
- **Query Performance:** Average query time, slow query detection (>500ms)
- **Storage Capacity:** Current usage / Total capacity (CRITICAL at >80%) **Cache Performance:**
- **Redis Hit Ratio:** Percentage cached (target >95%)
- **Cache Response Time:** P50, P95, P99 latency (target <10ms)
- **Memory Usage:** Redis memory consumption **External Dependencies:**
- **The Odds API Usage:** Requests per minute, daily/monthly totals
- **API Cost Tracking:** Daily/monthly spending
- **API Error Rate:** Failed external requests ### 7.3 Alerting Strategy **Critical Alerts (Immediate Action):**
- Database pool >90% utilization
- Redis cache failures or disconnections
- API error rate >5%
- The Odds API rate limit >5,000 calls/min
- Database storage >90% capacity **Warning Alerts (Investigation Needed):**
- Database pool >75% utilization
- Cache hit ratio <80%
- API response time P95 >100ms
- WebSocket connections >5,000 **Informational Alerts:**
- Daily active user milestones
- Monthly API spending trends
- Slow query detection (>500ms) --- ## 8. Architectural Decisions for Consistency ### 8.1 Core Principles **1. API-First Design**
- All data flows through FastAPI endpoints (no direct database access from client)
- RESTful conventions: GET (read), POST (create), PUT (update), DELETE (remove)
- Consistent error responses: `{ error: string, code: number, path: string }` **2. Mobile-First Performance**
- Cache-first strategy: Redis -> Database fallback
- Lazy loading: Load critical data first, defer non-essential
- Progressive enhancement: Core features work without JavaScript (future PWA)
- Virtual scrolling: For lists >50 items (sports sidebar, customer tables) **3. Type Safety Across Stack**
- Frontend: TypeScript strict mode + Zod runtime validation
- Backend: Pydantic schemas for request/response validation
- Shared types: Generate TypeScript types from Pydantic schemas (future automation) **4. Separation of Concerns**
- Frontend: Component layers (ui -> universal -> domain -> composite)
- Backend: Router -> Service -> Model pattern (clean architecture)
- No business logic in components or routers (move to services) **5. Observability by Default**
- All endpoints log request/response (middleware)
- Errors sent to Sentry automatically
- Health checks expose internal metrics
- Cache hit/miss ratios tracked per endpoint ### 8.2 Naming Conventions **Frontend:**
```typescript
// Components: PascalCase
export function BettingSlip() { }
export function SportsSidebar() { } // Hooks: camelCase with 'use' prefix
export function useBets() { }
export function useAuth() { } // API functions: camelCase
export async function fetchUserBets() { }
export async function createBet() { } // Constants: SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE
export const API_BASE_URL = 'http://localhost:8000';
export const CACHE_TTL_HOT = 300; // Types: PascalCase
export type User = { id: string; username: string };
export interface BetCreate { gameId: number; stake: number }
``` **Backend:**
```python
# Modules: snake_case
# auth_service.py, betting_service.py # Classes: PascalCase
class User(Base): pass class BetService: pass # Functions: snake_case
def get_current_user(): pass async def create_bet(): pass # Constants: SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE
DATABASE_URL = "postgresql://..."
CACHE_TTL_HOT = 300
``` ### 8.3 Error Handling Standards **Frontend Error Boundaries:**
```tsx
// client/src/components/ErrorBoundary.tsx
export function ErrorBoundary({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) { const [hasError, setHasError] = useState(false); if (hasError) { return ( <div className="p-8 text-center"> <h2 className="text-2xl font-bold">Something went wrong</h2> <p className="text-muted-foreground">Please refresh the page</p> </div> ); } return children;
}
``` **Backend Error Responses:**
```python
# Consistent error format across all endpoints
{ "error": "User not found", "code": 404, "path": "/api/user/123", "details": { "user_id": 123, "available_actions": ["create_user"] }
}
``` ### 8.4 Testing Strategy **Frontend Testing (Future Implementation):**
- **Unit Tests:** Jest + React Testing Library for components
- **Integration Tests:** Playwright for end-to-end user flows
- **Visual Regression:** Chromatic or Percy for UI consistency **Backend Testing (Current):**
```python
# server/tests/test_betting.py
import pytest
from httpx import AsyncClient @pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_create_bet(async_client: AsyncClient, auth_token: str): response = await async_client.post( "/api/bets", json={ "game_id": 1, "bet_type": "spread", "stake": 100.00, "odds": -110, }, headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {auth_token}"} ) assert response.status_code == 201 data = response.json() assert data["stake"] == "100.00" assert data["status"] == "pending"
``` --- ## 9. Decision Log (Key Architectural Choices) ### Decision 1: FastAPI over Next.js API Routes **Context:** Originally considered Next.js API routes for backend **Decision:** Use FastAPI as unified backend, remove all Next.js API routes **Rationale:**
- FastAPI provides superior async performance (ASGI vs Node.js event loop)
- Automatic OpenAPI documentation (`/docs` endpoint)
- Better type safety with Pydantic
- Easier WebSocket implementation
- Python ecosystem for ML/analytics (Prophet, scikit-learn) **Consequences:**
- Simpler deployment (separate client/server)
- Clear API contract (OpenAPI spec)
- Better monitoring and observability
- Requires CORS configuration **Status:** Implemented (80% complete) --- ### Decision 2: Redis for Distributed Caching **Context:** Database at 97.4% capacity, high query load **Decision:** Implement Redis with HOT/WARM/COLD TTL strategies **Rationale:**
- 95%+ cache hit ratio achievable for live odds
- Sub-10ms response times (vs 50-100ms database)
- 20x performance improvement demonstrated
- Offloads 90% of read queries from PostgreSQL
- Supports horizontal scaling (Redis Cluster in Phase 2) **Consequences:**
- Additional infrastructure cost (~$30-50/month)
- Cache invalidation complexity (stale data risk)
- Requires monitoring and alerting
- Improves user experience dramatically **Status:** Implemented (Week 2 complete) --- ### Decision 3: Component Layer System (5 Layers) **Context:** Frontend components growing in complexity, duplication across agent/betting features **Decision:** Implement 5-layer architecture (ui -> universal -> domain-specific -> layout -> composite) **Rationale:**
- Enforces separation of concerns
- Promotes reusability (universal components shared across domains)
- Clear import hierarchy (lower layers -> higher layers only)
- Easier to maintain and test
- Aligns with shadcn/ui copy-paste philosophy **Consequences:**
- Steeper learning curve for new developers
- Requires discipline to follow layer rules
- More boilerplate (separate files for each layer)
- Better long-term maintainability **Status:** Implemented (existing structure) --- ### Decision 4: TanStack Query over Redux **Context:** Need state management for data fetching, caching, synchronization **Decision:** Use TanStack Query v5 for server state, React Context for UI state **Rationale:**
- Handles caching, refetching, background updates automatically
- Aligns with backend cache TTL strategies (HOT/WARM/COLD)
- Simpler than Redux (no actions, reducers, middleware)
- Built-in devtools for debugging
- Automatic query deduplication and batching **Consequences:**
- Limited to server state (not suitable for complex UI state)
- Requires understanding of query keys and cache invalidation
- Excellent performance for data-heavy betting app **Status:** Implemented (package.json confirmed) --- ### Decision 5: PostgreSQL Partitioning for Odds Archive **Context:** Database at 97.4% capacity, historical odds accumulating **Decision:** Archive odds older than 30 days to partitioned `odds_archive` table **Rationale:**
- 70-80% storage reduction expected
- Maintains active table performance (<30 days of data)
- Partition by month for efficient queries on historical data
- Automated daily archival (cron job at 3 AM) **Consequences:**
- Requires migration and data backfill
- Queries spanning active + archive need UNION or view
- Monitoring needed to ensure archival runs successfully **Status:** ⏳ Planned (Week 3 - URGENT) --- ### Decision 6: WebSocket for Real-Time Odds **Context:** Users need live odds updates during games **Decision:** Implement WebSocket connections with 30s update throttling **Rationale:**
- Native browser support (no polling required)
- Efficient for live data (single connection vs repeated HTTP requests)
- 4,000-6,000 concurrent connections supported (4 workers × 1,000-1,500/worker)
- Graceful degradation to polling if WebSocket fails **Consequences:**
- Long-lived connections consume server resources (memory, file descriptors)
- Horizontal scaling requires Redis pub/sub (Phase 2)
- Connection management complexity (heartbeats, reconnection) **Status:** Implemented (existing WebSocket endpoints) --- ### Decision 7: Telegram OAuth for User Contact **Context:** Need user contact method for agent-customer communication **Decision:** Integrate Telegram OAuth for user identification **Rationale:**
- Common in betting industry (anonymous, secure)
- No email/phone verification required
- Direct messaging channel for agents
- Better Auth library supports Telegram **Consequences:**
- Users must have Telegram account
- Privacy considerations (Telegram handles visible)
- Requires bot setup and maintenance **Status:** Implemented (client/.env.local confirmed) --- ### Decision 8: Railway for Deployment **Context:** Need managed infrastructure for FastAPI + Redis + PostgreSQL **Decision:** Use Railway for all services (app, cache, database via Supabase) **Rationale:**
- Simple git-based deployments
- Auto-scaling and zero-downtime deploys
- Managed Redis instance with private networking
- Cost-effective for current scale ($200-400/month for 10k users)
- Easy environment variable management **Consequences:**
- Vendor lock-in (migration to Kubernetes requires refactoring)
- Limited control over infrastructure (black box scaling)
- Sufficient for Phase 1-2 (10k-50k users) **Status:** Implemented (production deployment) --- ### Decision 9: Odds API Caching Strategy **Context:** The Odds API costs ~$0.001/request, rate limited to 6,000 calls/min **Decision:** Redis HOT cache with 5-minute TTL, background refresh **Rationale:**
- 98% cost reduction (6,000 potential calls -> 100-200 actual calls/min)
- Acceptable staleness for most betting scenarios (5min old odds)
- Background refresh ensures continuous availability (stale-while-revalidate)
- Maintains 98% headroom for cache misses and new sports **Consequences:**
- Odds may be up to 5 minutes stale (acceptable per product requirements)
- Requires monitoring to prevent API quota exhaustion
- Multi-provider fallback needed if primary API fails (Phase 3) **Status:** Implemented (cache service confirmed) --- ## 10. Future Architectural Considerations ### 10.1 Phase 2 Enhancements (Weeks 5-8) **Read Replicas (Database Horizontal Scaling):**
- Primary database for writes (bets, transactions, settlements)
- 2 read replicas for read-heavy queries (odds, user stats, agent reports)
- Query routing: Write queries -> Primary, Read queries -> Random replica
- Replication lag monitoring (<1s target)
- Expected capacity: 25,000-50,000 concurrent users **Redis Cluster (High Availability Caching):**
- 3-node Redis cluster (master + 2 replicas)
- Automatic failover on node failure
- Data sharding across nodes for >100GB cache capacity
- Pub/sub for cross-worker WebSocket communication
- Expected capacity: 50,000+ concurrent users **Horizontal Application Scaling:**
- Scale from 4 -> 12 FastAPI workers
- Load balancer (Railway automatic or NGINX)
- Sticky sessions for WebSocket connections
- Background job queue (Celery or Redis Queue) ### 10.2 Phase 3 Considerations (Weeks 9-16) **Microservices Architecture:**
- Auth Service: JWT, session management, user registration
- Betting Service: Bet placement, validation, settlement
- Odds Service: External API integration, caching, WebSocket
- Agent Service: Agent operations, customer management, reporting
- Analytics Service: ML predictions, user insights, forecasting **Event-Driven Architecture:**
- Message queue: RabbitMQ or Apache Kafka
- Event sourcing for audit trails (bet placed, settled, voided)
- CQRS pattern for complex queries (separate read/write models) **Multi-Region Deployment:**
- Global latency reduction (<50ms anywhere)
- CDN for static assets (CloudFlare, Fastly)
- Database read replicas in multiple regions
- Active-active deployment for 99.99% uptime ### 10.3 Technology Evaluations **GraphQL vs REST (Future Consideration):**
- **Current:** REST API with OpenAPI documentation
- **Consideration:** GraphQL for flexible client queries (reduce over-fetching)
- **Decision Deferred:** REST sufficient for current scale, revisit at Phase 3 **Native Mobile Apps (Future):**
- **Current:** PWA with mobile-first web app
- **Consideration:** React Native for iOS/Android native apps
- **Timeline:** Phase 3 (after 50k users validated)
- **Rationale:** PWA covers 90% of use cases, native needed for push notifications **Serverless Functions (Future):**
- **Current:** FastAPI monolith with background tasks
- **Consideration:** AWS Lambda or Vercel Functions for periodic jobs
- **Use Cases:** Scheduled archival, daily settlement processing, report generation
- **Decision:** Evaluate in Phase 2 when background job complexity increases --- ## 11.
