# IMPL_3420 - PostgreSQL Patterns Implementation Program
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** IMPLEMENTED
|
||||
**Priority:** HIGH
|
||||
**Program Owner:** Platform Team
|
||||
**Created:** 2025-12-14
|
||||
**Implementation Date:** 2025-12-14
|
||||
**Target Completion:** Q1 2026
|

||||
|
||||
## 1. Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
This implementation program delivers four PostgreSQL pattern enhancements identified in the gap analysis of `docs/product-advisories/14-Dec-2025 - PostgreSQL Patterns Technical Reference.md`. These patterns strengthen StellaOps' data layer for determinism, multi-tenancy security, query performance, and operational efficiency.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.1 Program Scope
|
||||
|
||||
| Sprint | Pattern | Priority | Complexity | Est. Duration |
|
||||
|--------|---------|----------|------------|---------------|
|
||||
| SPRINT_3420_0001_0001 | Bitemporal Unknowns Schema | HIGH | Medium-High | 2-3 weeks |
|
||||
| SPRINT_3421_0001_0001 | RLS Expansion | HIGH | Medium | 3-4 weeks |
|
||||
| SPRINT_3422_0001_0001 | Time-Based Partitioning | MEDIUM | High | 4-5 weeks |
|
||||
| SPRINT_3423_0001_0001 | Generated Columns | MEDIUM | Low-Medium | 1-2 weeks |
|
||||
|
||||
### 1.2 Not In Scope (Deferred/Rejected)
|
||||
|
||||
| Pattern | Decision | Rationale |
|
||||
|---------|----------|-----------|
|
||||
| `routing` schema (feature flags) | REJECTED | Conflicts with air-gap/offline-first design |
|
||||
| PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY | REJECTED | Redis Pub/Sub already fulfills this need |
|
||||
| `pgaudit` extension | DEFERRED | Optional for compliance deployments only |
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Strategic Alignment
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.1 Core Principles Supported
|
||||
|
||||
| Principle | How This Program Supports It |
|
||||
|-----------|------------------------------|
|
||||
| **Determinism** | Bitemporal unknowns enable reproducible point-in-time queries |
|
||||
| **Offline-first** | All patterns work without external dependencies |
|
||||
| **Multi-tenancy** | RLS provides database-level tenant isolation |
|
||||
| **Performance** | Generated columns and partitioning optimize hot queries |
|
||||
| **Auditability** | Bitemporal history supports compliance audits |
|
||||
|
||||

## Appendix A: Gap Analysis Summary
|
||||
|
||||
### Implemented Patterns (No Action Needed)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Multi-tenancy with `tenant_id` column
|
||||
2. SKIP LOCKED queue pattern
|
||||
3. Audit logging (per-schema)
|
||||
4. JSONB for semi-structured data
|
||||
5. Connection pooling (Npgsql)
|
||||
6. Session configuration (UTC, statement_timeout)
|
||||
7. Advisory locks for migrations
|
||||
8. Distributed locking
|
||||
9. Deterministic pagination (keyset)
|
||||
10. Index strategies (B-tree, GIN, composite, partial)
|
||||
|
||||
### Partially Implemented Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
1. **RLS policies** - Only `findings_ledger` → Expand to all schemas
|
||||
2. **Outbox pattern** - Interface exists → Consider `core.outbox` table (future)
|
||||
3. **Partitioning** - LIST by tenant → Add RANGE by time for high-volume
|
||||
|
||||
### Not Implemented Patterns (This Program)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Bitemporal unknowns** - New schema with temporal semantics
|
||||
2. **Generated columns** - Extract JSONB hot keys
|
||||
3. **Time-based partitioning** - Monthly RANGE partitions
|
||||
|
||||
### Rejected Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
1. **routing schema** - Conflicts with offline-first architecture
|
||||
2. **LISTEN/NOTIFY** - Redis Pub/Sub is sufficient
|
||||
3. **pgaudit** - Optional for compliance (document only)
