From 6ad0aea6541267d9f208d496250de68ac640dcf6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: webthreejunkie-sudo Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 13:36:52 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] perf: implement issues #706 #707 #708 #709 #706 Core Web Vitals Optimisation - Fix CLS on courses page (stable min-height container for grid) - Fix CLS on profile page (skeleton loader, explicit avatar dimensions) - Add preconnect hints for API origin and avatar CDNs in layout - Harden lighthouserc.js CWV assertions from warn to error level - Add .github/workflows/lighthouse.yml CI gate #707 HTTP Caching & CDN Strategy - Add CacheHeadersMiddleware (Cache-Control + ETag + 304 support) - Wire middleware globally in AppModule - Add docs/CDN_SETUP.md with full CDN strategy and hit-ratio guide #708 Indexer & Event Query Performance - Rewrite stellar-indexer: batched processing (Promise.allSettled) - Add back-pressure (skip busy tick, exponential back-off) - Write lag metrics to cache after every poll - Cold-start fast-path (jump to latest ledger unless INDEXER_CATCHUP=true) #709 API Response Compression & Payload Slimming - Add compression package, enable gzip/brotli in main.ts - Add SparseFieldsInterceptor for ?fields= sparse responses - Document payload reduction in README --- .github/workflows/lighthouse.yml | 45 ++++++ README.md | 28 ++++ apps/backend/package.json | 4 +- apps/backend/src/app.module.ts | 3 + .../interceptors/sparse-fields.interceptor.ts | 82 ++++++++++ .../middleware/cache-headers.middleware.ts | 74 +++++++++ apps/backend/src/main.ts | 12 +- .../src/stellar/stellar-indexer.service.ts | 144 +++++++++++++++-- apps/frontend/lighthouserc.js | 43 ++--- apps/frontend/src/app/courses/page.tsx | 35 ++-- apps/frontend/src/app/layout.tsx | 5 + apps/frontend/src/app/profile/page.tsx | 26 ++- docs/CDN_SETUP.md | 152 ++++++++++++++++++ 13 files changed, 604 insertions(+), 49 deletions(-) create mode 100644 .github/workflows/lighthouse.yml create mode 100644 apps/backend/src/common/interceptors/sparse-fields.interceptor.ts create mode 100644 apps/backend/src/common/middleware/cache-headers.middleware.ts create mode 100644 docs/CDN_SETUP.md diff --git a/.github/workflows/lighthouse.yml b/.github/workflows/lighthouse.yml new file mode 100644 index 00000000..c26ba0ff --- /dev/null +++ b/.github/workflows/lighthouse.yml @@ -0,0 +1,45 @@ +name: Lighthouse CI + +on: + push: + branches: [main] + paths: + -

API Response Caching + +`CacheHeadersMiddleware` adds `Cache-Control` and `ETag` to every response. + +### Header matrix + +| Route | Auth header present? | Cache-Control | +|---|---|---| +| `GET /v1/courses` | No | `public, max-age=60, stale-while-revalidate=300` | +| `GET /v1/courses/:id` | No | `public, max-age=120, stale-while-revalidate=600` | +| `GET /v1/stellar/balance/:key` | No | `public, max-age=30, stale-while-revalidate=60` | +| Any GET with `Authorization` | Yes | `private, max-age=30, stale-while-revalidate=60` | +| Any other GET | — | `no-cache` | +| POST / PATCH / PUT / DELETE | — | `no-store` | + +### ETag & conditional requests + +Every JSON response receives an `ETag` header (SHA-1 of the serialised body, 16 hex chars).

The CDN will start caching automatically. + +--- + +## 3. CDN Edge Caching for API reads + +Cacheable public routes (`max-age > 0`, no `Authorization` required) can be served directly from the CDN edge. + +**Recommended CDN behaviour (CloudFront)** + +``` +Cache based on: query string (all), no cookies, no auth headers +Minimum TTL: 0 s (honour origin's Cache-Control) +Maximum TTL: 600 s +Compress: yes (Brotli + gzip) +``` + +**Recommended CDN behaviour (Cloudflare)** + +``` +Cache Level: Standard +Edge Cache TTL: Respect origin headers +Always Online: Off (don't serve stale on origin errors — data is ephemeral) +``` + +--- + +## 4. Cache Invalidation + +### On API data change + +When a course or credential is written/updated, the NestJS service calls `cacheManager.del(key)` (already implemented in `CoursesService.invalidateCache()`). +The CDN has a short `max-age` (≤ 120 s) so stale edge responses expire quickly even without explicit invalidation. + +For critical mutations (course publish, credential issue) add an explicit CDN purge: + +```ts +// CloudFront +await cloudfrontClient.send(new CreateInvalidationCommand({ + DistributionId: process.env.CLOUDFRONT_DISTRIBUTION_ID, + InvalidationBatch: { + Paths: { Quantity: 1, Items: ['/v1/courses/*'] }, + CallerReference: Date.now().toString(), + }, +})); +``` + +### On deploy (static assets) + +The CD pipeline should invalidate `/_next/static/*` after every deployment. +Since filenames are content-hashed, old filenames remain valid — only new filenames are served. You only need to invalidate `/_next/static/*` as a safety measure. + +--- + +## 5.

Security Notes + +- `private` responses are **never** stored by the CDN. +- Responses containing `Authorization`-dependent data automatically receive `private` — no manual opt-out needed. +- Do not add `public` to routes that could leak PII even for anonymous users (e.g. `/v1/users/:id`).
