DigiServer Optimization - Quick Reference

🎯 Top 3 Critical Optimizations

1. Reduce Docker Image Size: 3.53GB → 800MB (77% smaller)

Impact: Faster deployments, less storage
Effort: 2 hours
File: Dockerfile - implement multi-stage build

2. Split Monolithic app.py (1,051 lines) into Blueprints

Impact: Better maintainability, easier testing
Effort: 1 day
Structure:

blueprints/
├── auth.py       # Login/Register
├── admin.py      # Admin panel
├── players.py    # Player management
├── groups.py     # Group management
├── content.py    # Upload/Media
└── api.py        # API endpoints

3. Add Redis Caching

Impact: 50-80% faster page loads
Effort: 4 hours
Add: Redis container + Flask-Caching

📊 Current State

Metric	Value	Status
Docker Image	3.53 GB	⚠️ Too large
Main File (app.py)	1,051 lines	⚠️ Monolithic
Routes	30+ endpoints	⚠️ No structure
Caching	None	❌ Missing
Background Tasks	Synchronous	❌ Blocks requests
API Rate Limiting	None	⚠️ Security risk

🚀 Quick Performance Wins

Database Indexes (30 minutes)

# Add to models
class Content(db.Model):
    player_id = db.Column(db.Integer, index=True)
    position = db.Column(db.Integer, index=True)

Cache Dashboard (1 hour)

from flask_caching import Cache
cache = Cache(config={'CACHE_TYPE': 'simple'})

@cache.cached(timeout=60)
def dashboard():
    # Cached for 60 seconds

Type Hints (2 hours)

def get_player_content(player_id: int) -> List[Content]:
    return Content.query.filter_by(player_id=player_id).all()

📈 Expected Results

Metric	Before	After	Improvement
Docker Image	3.53 GB	800 MB	77% ↓
Page Load	2-3s	0.5-1s	70% ↓
API Response	100-200ms	20-50ms	75% ↓
Concurrent Users	10-20	100-200	10x ↑
Maintainability	Low	High	++

🔧 Implementation Order

Week 1: Critical

• Multi-stage Docker build
• Database indexes
• Basic caching

Week 2: Architecture

• Split to blueprints
• Add Redis
• Celery for video processing

Week 3: Polish

• nginx reverse proxy
• Security hardening
• Monitoring & health checks

---

💡 Quick Commands

Rebuild Docker (smaller image)

docker compose down
docker compose build --no-cache
docker compose up -d

Check Image Size

docker images digiserver:latest

Monitor Performance

docker stats digiserver

📝 Files to Modify

1. Dockerfile - Multi-stage build
2. docker-compose.yml - Add Redis, Celery, nginx
3. app.py - Split into blueprints
4. requirements.txt - Add redis, celery, flask-caching
5. models/*.py - Add indexes
