Enterprise Best Practices

⚡ Connection Management

# Configure connection pooling
database:
  pool_size: 20
  pool_timeout: 30s
  max_connections: 100
  
# Set appropriate timeouts
timeouts:
  query: 30s
  connection: 10s
  idle: 300s

🗄️ Caching Strategies

# Enable intelligent caching
cache:
  enabled: true
  ttl: 3600  # 1 hour
  max_size: 1GB
  
# Cache frequently accessed data
cache_patterns:
  - "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?"
  - "repository metadata"
  - "SharePoint document lists"

📈 Monitoring & Alerting

# Configure health checks
health_checks:
  interval: 30s
  timeout: 5s
  failure_threshold: 3
  
# Set up alerts
alerts:
  - name: "High Response Time"
    condition: "response_time > 5s"
  - name: "Connection Pool Full"
    condition: "pool_utilization > 90%"
