Example 1: Performance Optimization (+2)

Example 1: Performance Optimization

// Before: N database queries
async function getUserPermissions(userId: string): Promise<string[]> {
  const user = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?', [userId]);
  const roles = await db.query('SELECT * FROM user_roles WHERE user_id = ?', [userId]);
  const permissions = [];

  for (const role of roles) {
    const perms = await db.query('SELECT * FROM role_permissions WHERE role_id = ?', [role.id]);
    permissions.push(...perms);
  }

  return permissions;
}

// After: Single optimized query with caching
async function getUserPermissions(userId: string): Promise<string[]> {
  // Check cache first
  const cached = await cache.get(`permissions:${userId}`);
  if (cached) return cached;

  // Single query with joins
  const permissions = await db.query(`
    SELECT DISTINCT p.name
    FROM users u
    JOIN user_roles ur ON u.id = ur.user_id
    JOIN role_permissions rp ON ur.role_id = rp.role_id
    JOIN permissions p ON rp.permission_id = p.id
    WHERE u.id = ?
  `, [userId]);

  // Cache for 5 minutes
  await cache.set(`permissions:${userId}`, permissions, 300);

  return permissions;
}

Example 2: Error Handling

// Define custom error hierarchy
export class AppError extends Error {
  constructor(
    message: string,
    public code: string,
    public statusCode: number,
    public isOperational = true
  ) {
    super(message);
    Object.setPrototypeOf(this, new.target.prototype);
    Error.captureStackTrace(this);
  }
}

export class ValidationError extends AppError {
  constructor(message: string, public fields?: Record<string, string>) {
    super(message, 'VALIDATION_ERROR', 400);
  }
}

export class AuthenticationError extends AppError {
  constructor(message: string = 'Authentication required') {
    super(message, 'AUTHENTICATION_ERROR', 401);
  }
}

// Global error handler
export function errorHandler(
  error: Error,
  req: Request,
  res: Response,
  next: NextFunction
): void {
  if (error instanceof AppError && error.isOperational) {
    res.status(error.statusCode).json({
      error: {
        code: error.code,
        message: error.message,
        ...(error instanceof ValidationError && { fields: error.fields })
      }
    });
  } else {
    // Unexpected errors
    logger.error('Unhandled error', { error, request: req });
    res.status(500).json({
      error: {
        code: 'INTERNAL_ERROR',
        message: 'An unexpected error occurred'
      }
    });
  }
}

Example 3: Circuit Breaker Pattern

// Circuit breaker for external services
export class CircuitBreaker {
  private failures = 0;
  private lastFailureTime?: Date;
  private state: 'CLOSED' | 'OPEN' | 'HALF_OPEN' = 'CLOSED';

  constructor(
    private threshold = 5,
    private timeout = 60000 // 1 minute
  ) {}

  async execute<T>(operation: () => Promise<T>): Promise<T> {
    if (this.state === 'OPEN') {
      if (this.shouldAttemptReset()) {
        this.state = 'HALF_OPEN';
      } else {
        throw new Error('Circuit breaker is OPEN');
      }
    }

    try {
      const result = await operation();
      this.onSuccess();
      return result;
    } catch (error) {
      this.onFailure();
      throw error;
    }
  }

  private onSuccess(): void {
    this.failures = 0;
    this.state = 'CLOSED';
  }

  private onFailure(): void {
    this.failures++;
    this.lastFailureTime = new Date();

    if (this.failures >= this.threshold) {
      this.state = 'OPEN';
    }
  }

  private shouldAttemptReset(): boolean {
    return this.lastFailureTime
      && (Date.now() - this.lastFailureTime.getTime()) > this.timeout;
  }
}
