01 · The problem

The Context

Heavy multi-tenant background data ingestion jobs were saturating PostgreSQL database connections, triggering cascading lockups.

To compensate, the client's GCP Cloud Run instances were scaling aggressively, ballooning the monthly infrastructure invoice to unsustainable levels.

02 · What I built

What I built

  • Go scheduler rewrite. Replaced the legacy scheduler with a high-performance Go transaction pooling engine using batched inserts and transaction isolation loops.
  • Query caching. Architected a single-origin Redis cache that reduced redundant read operations by 85%.
  • Bill cut. Slashed GCP cloud infrastructure bills by 62% (from $14k to $5.3k monthly) while simultaneously lowering database queue processing latency.
