PyPI Proxy Performance Implementation Plan

For Claude: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.

Goal: Implement production-grade infrastructure for PyPI proxy with HTTP connection pooling, Redis caching, batch DB operations, and multi-protocol foundation.

Architecture: Layered infrastructure (HttpClientManager, CacheService, ThreadPool) managed via FastAPI lifespan, with PackageProxyBase abstract class for protocol adapters. Redis is optional with graceful fallback.

Tech Stack: FastAPI, httpx (async), redis-py (async), SQLAlchemy (batch operations), asyncio ThreadPoolExecutor


Phase 1: Dependencies and Configuration

Task 1.1: Add Redis dependency

Files:

  • Modify: backend/requirements.txt

Step 1: Add redis package

Add to backend/requirements.txt after the httpx line:

redis>=5.0.0

Step 2: Verify syntax

Run: cd /home/mondo/orchard && cat backend/requirements.txt | grep redis Expected: redis>=5.0.0

Step 3: Commit

git add backend/requirements.txt
git commit -m "deps: add redis-py for caching layer"

Task 1.2: Add configuration settings

Files:

  • Modify: backend/app/config.py

Step 1: Add HTTP client settings

Add after line 54 (pypi_download_mode):

    # HTTP Client pool settings
    http_max_connections: int = 100  # Max connections per pool
    http_max_keepalive: int = 20  # Keep-alive connections
    http_connect_timeout: float = 30.0  # Connection timeout seconds
    http_read_timeout: float = 60.0  # Read timeout seconds
    http_worker_threads: int = 32  # Thread pool for blocking ops

Step 2: Add Redis settings

Add after the HTTP client settings:

    # Redis cache settings
    redis_host: str = "localhost"
    redis_port: int = 6379
    redis_db: int = 0
    redis_password: Optional[str] = None
    redis_enabled: bool = True  # Set False to disable caching

    # Cache TTL settings (seconds, 0 = no expiry)
    cache_ttl_index: int = 300  # Package index pages: 5 min
    cache_ttl_versions: int = 300  # Version listings: 5 min
    cache_ttl_upstream: int = 3600  # Upstream source config: 1 hour

Step 3: Update database pool defaults

Find and update these existing settings:

    database_pool_size: int = 20  # Was 5
    database_max_overflow: int = 30  # Was 10

Step 4: Verify syntax

Run: cd /home/mondo/orchard && python -m py_compile backend/app/config.py Expected: No output (success)

Step 5: Commit

git add backend/app/config.py
git commit -m "config: add HTTP pool, Redis, and updated DB pool settings"

Task 4.3: Use shared HTTP client in pypi_download_file

Files:

  • Modify: backend/app/pypi_proxy.py

Step 1: Update pypi_download_file signature

Find the pypi_download_file function (around line 595) and update its signature to accept the infrastructure:

@router.get("/{project_name}/+f/{filename}")
async def pypi_download_file(
    request: Request,
    project_name: str,
    filename: str,
    db: Session = Depends(get_db),
    storage: S3Storage = Depends(get_storage),
    http_client: HttpClientManager = Depends(get_http_client),
    cache: CacheService = Depends(get_cache),
):

Step 2: Replace httpx.AsyncClient usage

In the function, find the section that creates a new AsyncClient (around line 665):

    async with httpx.AsyncClient(timeout=timeout, follow_redirects=False) as client:

Replace with:

    client = http_client.get_client()
    # Note: We don't use 'async with' since the client is managed by HttpClientManager

Then remove the corresponding async with indentation - the rest of the code that was inside the async with block should remain but be dedented one level.

Step 3: Update timeout handling

Since the shared client has default timeouts, for large file downloads we need to override per-request:

    # Use longer timeout for file downloads
    download_timeout = httpx.Timeout(connect=30.0, read=300.0, write=300.0, pool=30.0)
    response = await client.get(upstream_url, headers=headers, timeout=download_timeout)

        # Store extracted dependencies (deduplicate first - METADATA can list same dep under multiple extras)
        if extracted_deps:

            ]

            # Batch upsert - handles duplicates with ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING

    def test_health_endpoint_includes_infrastructure(self, integration_client):
        """Health endpoint should report infrastructure status."""
        response = integration_client.get("/health")
        assert response.status_code == 200

        data = response.json()
        assert data["status"] == "healthy"
        # Infrastructure status may include these if implemented
        # assert "infrastructure" in data

Step 2: Run integration tests

Run: docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml exec -T orchard-server pytest backend/tests/integration/test_pypi_proxy.py -v --no-cov Expected: Tests pass

Step 3: Commit

git add backend/tests/integration/test_pypi_proxy.py
git commit -m "test: add infrastructure integration tests for pypi_proxy"

Phase 6: Finalization

Task 6.1: Update health endpoint with infrastructure status

Files:

  • Modify: backend/app/routes.py

Step 1: Find health endpoint and add infrastructure status

Find the /health endpoint and update to include infrastructure:

@router.get("/health")
async def health_check(
    request: Request,
    db: Session = Depends(get_db),
):
    """Health check endpoint with infrastructure status."""
    # Basic health
    health_status = {"status": "healthy"}

    # Add infrastructure status if available
    if hasattr(request.app.state, 'http_client'):
        http_client = request.app.state.http_client
        health_status["http_pool"] = {
            "pool_size": http_client.pool_size,
            "worker_threads": http_client.executor_max,
        }

    if hasattr(request.app.state, 'cache'):
        cache = request.app.state.cache
        health_status["cache"] = {
            "enabled": cache.enabled,
            "connected": await cache.ping() if cache.enabled else False,
        }

    return health_status

Step 2: Verify syntax

Run: cd /home/mondo/orchard && python -m py_compile backend/app/routes.py Expected: No output (success)

Step 3: Commit

git add backend/app/routes.py
git commit -m "feat: add infrastructure status to health endpoint"

Task 6.2: Rebuild and test locally

Step 1: Rebuild container

Run: docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml build orchard-server Expected: Build succeeds

Step 2: Restart with new code

Run: docker rm -f $(docker ps -aq --filter name=orchard_orchard-server) 2>/dev/null; docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml up -d orchard-server Expected: Container starts

Step 3: Check health endpoint

Run: curl -s http://localhost:8080/health | python -m json.tool Expected: JSON with status and infrastructure info

Step 4: Run all tests

Run: docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml exec -T orchard-server pytest backend/tests/ -v --no-cov Expected: All tests pass

Step 5: Commit any fixes

If tests fail, fix issues and commit.


Task 6.3: Update CHANGELOG

Files:

  • Modify: CHANGELOG.md

Step 1: Add entry under [Unreleased]

Add under ## [Unreleased]:

### Added
- HTTP connection pooling for upstream PyPI requests (reduces latency by ~200ms/request)
- Redis caching layer for package index pages and upstream source config
- Batch database operations for dependency storage (eliminates N+1 queries)
- Infrastructure status in health endpoint

### Changed
- Database connection pool defaults increased (pool_size: 5→20, max_overflow: 10→30)
- PyPI proxy now uses shared HTTP client instead of per-request connections

Step 2: Commit

git add CHANGELOG.md
git commit -m "docs: update CHANGELOG for PyPI proxy performance improvements"

Task 6.4: Push and verify CI

Step 1: Push all changes

Run: git push

Step 2: Monitor CI pipeline

Check GitLab CI for build/test results.


Summary

This implementation plan covers:

  1. Phase 1: Dependencies and configuration
  2. Phase 2: Infrastructure layer (HttpClientManager, CacheService)
  3. Phase 3: Database optimization (ArtifactRepository)
  4. Phase 4: PyPI proxy refactor to use new infrastructure
  5. Phase 5: Integration tests
  6. Phase 6: Finalization and deployment

Each task is self-contained with tests, making it safe to commit incrementally.
