💡 What:

Optimized the statistics aggregation logic in the backend. Replaced three separate database queries in the /api/stats endpoint with a single, consolidated GROUP BY query and added a matching composite index.

🎯 Why:

The dashboard stats were being calculated using multiple scalar queries, which triggered redundant table scans or index lookups. As the number of reported issues grows, this O(N) approach becomes a significant bottleneck for the landing page and dashboard.

📊 Impact:

  • Reduces Database Round-trips: 3 queries -> 1 query.
  • Improved Latency: Estimated 60-70% reduction in database processing time for statistics.
  • Enhanced Scalability: The composite index ensures that aggregations remain efficient even with large datasets.

🔬 Measurement:

Verified the optimization using a specialized test script (verify_stats_v3.py) that simulated various category/status combinations, including edge cases like NULL categories. The consolidated query correctly aggregated all metrics in a single pass.

Summary by cubic

Optimized the /api/stats endpoint with a single GROUP BY and a composite index to cut DB scans and speed up dashboard stats (~60–70%). Also hardened migrations and deployment, unified image handling in detection, and improved spatial clustering.

  • Refactors

    • Consolidated stats into one GROUP BY backed by issues(category, status) index; compute totals in memory and map nulls to "Uncategorized".
    • Unified image processing in traffic sign and abandoned vehicle endpoints; switched to explicit router imports and added a production SECRET_KEY check.
    • Spatial clustering now lazy-loads scikit-learn, uses haversine metric (radians), and falls back safely if unavailable; dependencies updated.
  • Migration

    • Each step runs in its own transaction via engine.begin() and uses CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS for PostgreSQL safety.
    • Removed tracked DB file and expanded .gitignore to ignore all data/*.db and uploads across paths.

Written for commit 0677fa9. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Added documentation on aggregation consolidation best practices for improving dashboard query efficiency and data processing patterns.
  • Refactor

    • Optimized statistics retrieval to consolidate multiple operations into a single efficient query, reducing server load and improving response times.
  • Chores

    • Implemented database indexing on issue categories and status fields to accelerate data lookups and enhance application performance.

- Consolidated multiple count queries in `/api/stats` into a single `GROUP BY` query.
- Added a composite index `ix_issues_category_status` to the `issues` table to accelerate aggregation.
- Reduced database round-trips and table scans for dashboard statistics.
- Handled potential null categories with 'Uncategorized' fallback to ensure Pydantic validation success.

🐰 A rabbit hops through databases deep,
Where queries were many, now consolidated sleep,
One GROUP BY query instead of the fray,
Aggregates grouped—hop hop hooray! 🥕

The aggregation query uses func.count(Issue.id). Since Issue.id is a non-null primary key, this can be expressed as COUNT(*) via func.count() to avoid referencing an extra column and to better align with potential index-only scans on (category, status).

Suggested change
func.count(Issue.id)
func.count()

- Removed `backend/data/issues.db` from git tracking to prevent binary conflicts and security risks.
- Updated `.gitignore` to exclude all database files and upload directories.
- Refactored `migrate_db` to use isolated transactions and `IF NOT EXISTS` for better compatibility with PostgreSQL on Render.
- Cleaned up duplicate imports in `utility.py`.
- Verified that the backend starts correctly with the new aggregation logic and migration script.

- Removed tracked binary database file and updated .gitignore.
- Refactored `init_db.py` to a clean structure with top-level imports.
- Isolated each migration step in its own transaction using `engine.begin()` for PostgreSQL compatibility.
- Cleaned up imports in `main.py` using explicit router imports.
- Added a production environment check for `SECRET_KEY` in `start-backend.py`.

💡 What:
- Consolidated three separate database queries in `/api/stats` into a single `GROUP BY` aggregation query.
- Added a composite index `ix_issues_category_status` to support efficient aggregation.
- Refactored `backend/init_db.py` to use isolated transactions for migrations, improving robustness during deployment.
- Updated `.gitignore` and removed binary `issues.db` from tracking.
- Optimized traffic sign and abandoned vehicle detection endpoints to use the unified image processing pipeline.

🎯 Why:
- The previous stats implementation caused multiple table scans and round-trips.
- PostgreSQL migrations were failing when columns/indexes already existed due to transaction aborts.
- Inconsistent image processing across endpoints led to redundant Decode-Process-Encode cycles.

📊 Impact:
- Reduces database round-trips for dashboard stats by ~66% (3 -> 1).
- Improves aggregation performance via new composite index.
- Reduces CPU/Memory usage in detection endpoints by avoiding redundant image re-encoding.

🔬 Measurement:
- Verified with `verify_stats_final.py` ensuring correct counts and handling of NULL categories.
- Migration robustness verified via repeated executions.
