+MEETING TRANSCRIPT - QA TEAM
+Date: Wednesday, September 18, 2025
+Time: 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM
+Participants: Maria (QA Lead), Tom (Senior QA Engineer), Lisa (QA Automation Engineer), Roberto (Manual Testing Specialist)
+
+[10:02] Maria: Let's review CRM migration testing progress. Tom, report on data import tests?
+
+[10:03] Tom: Found critical issues. Import failures with special characters in addresses and names.
+
+[10:06] Tom: UTF-8 parsing problems with accents, currency symbols, and Asian characters.
+
+[10:08] Tom: 12% of records affected - about 15,000 out of 125,000 total records.
+
+[10:09] Roberto: Confirmed. Also, failed imports corrupt entire batches.
+
+[10:12] Lisa: No atomic transactions for batches?
+
+[10:13] Tom: Correct. Each record processed independently without rollback.
+
+[10:15] Roberto: Found referential integrity issues - orphaned references between contacts and companies.
+
+[10:19] Maria: Need three validation types: pre-import, during import, and post-import.
+
+[10:25] Tom: Recommend smaller migration batches to reduce risk?
+
+[10:26] Maria: Excellent. Batches of 5,000 records with validation between each.
+
+[10:30] Maria: Four recommendations: UTF-8 parser fix, atomic transactions, handle orphaned references, small batch migration.
+
+[10:33] Roberto: Also need concurrency testing during migration.
+
+[10:40] Maria: Complete additional testing in one week. Feasible?
+
+[10:42] Tom: Will share test cases today.
+
+[10:44] Maria: Friday 2 PM meeting before management review.
+
+[10:45] Lisa: Will prepare testing metrics dashboard.

+MEETING TRANSCRIPT - DEVELOPMENT TEAM
+Date: Monday, September 16, 2025
+Time: 09:00 AM - 10:15 AM
+Participants: Alice (Tech Lead), John (Senior Developer), Sarah (Backend Developer), Mike (DevOps Engineer)
+
+[09:02] Alice: Let's review the search API deployed last week. Any issues?
+
+[09:03] Sarah: API works but performance degrades with 1,000+ queries per minute. Response times jump from 200ms to 3 seconds.
+
+[09:05] John: Elasticsearch queries and no caching layer?
+
+[09:06] Sarah: Exactly. Complex queries are slow, and we need Redis caching.
+
+[09:07] Mike: Also hitting CPU limits during spikes. Need auto-scaling.
+
+[09:08] Alice: Three priorities: query optimization, Redis cache, and infrastructure scaling.
+
+[09:11] Sarah: Propose 15-minute TTL cache with event-based invalidation.
+
+[09:13] John: I'll optimize bool queries and add calculated index fields.
+
+[09:17] Mike: Can set up auto-scaling by tomorrow - scale to 6 instances at 70% CPU.
+
+[09:18] Sarah: Starting Redis today, basic version by Wednesday.
+
+[09:19] John: New indexes and query optimization ready for testing Wednesday.
+
+[09:24] Alice: Clear plan. Mike handles scaling, Sarah implements cache, John optimizes queries.
+
+[09:26] Alice: I'll coordinate with product team on deployment impacts and QA for load testing.
+
+[09:30] Alice: Meeting Wednesday 3 PM to review progress. Thanks team!

+MEETING TRANSCRIPT - MANAGEMENT SYNC
+Date: Friday, September 20, 2025
+Time: 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
+Participants: David (Project Manager), Alice (Tech Lead), Maria (QA Lead), Emma (Product Manager), Carlos (DevOps Manager)
+
+[14:03] Emma: Good progress. Users report 40% search speed improvement, but support tickets show peak hour performance issues.
+
+[14:05] Alice: We've identified bottlenecks. Working on Redis caching and Elasticsearch query optimization.
+
+[14:06] David: Can we resolve issues without impacting October migration date?
+
+[14:09] Alice: Recommend two-week extension for complete migration due to performance issues.
+
+[14:10] Maria: QA agrees. Found data import blockers with special characters and integrity issues.
+
+[14:12] Maria: Need one week to fix issues, another for complete re-testing.
+
+[14:14] Carlos: Infrastructure supports extension for proper rollback and disaster recovery testing.
+
+[14:15] Emma: Could we do partial migration on original date?
+
+[14:17] Alice: Yes. Contact management module first, reports and analytics in phase two.
+
+[14:21] Maria: Phased migration ideal for QA - validate each module independently.
+
+[14:22] David: Proposal: Phase 1 - Contact management October 15th. Phase 2 - Complete migration October 30th.
+
+[14:23] Alice: Reasonable timeline for performance fixes.
+
+[14:24] Emma: Works from product perspective. Will update stakeholder communications.
+
+[14:25] Maria: QA commits to these timelines.
+
+[14:26] Carlos: Will prepare deployment strategies for both phases.
+
+[14:32] David: Carlos, send deployment calendar by Monday. Thanks team!

+🤖 Asking to model: llama-smoltalk-3.2-1b-instruct
+
+## 💡 Question: 
+Can you summarize the performance issues in the API?
+
+## 📝 Answer: 
+The primary performance issue in the API is the slow response times of 3 seconds or more from the 1,000+ queries per minute. The search API, in particular, is experiencing performance degradations, with complex Elasticsearch queries causing the issues. A proposed solution is to implement a 15-minute TTL cache with event-based invalidation to improve response times. Additionally, a three-tiered approach involving optimization of bool queries and added calculated index fields is being implemented to improve query performance. Finally, auto-scaling for the infrastructure is set up to scale to 6 instances at 70% CPU.

+
+## 💡 Question: 
+Can you summarize the performance issues in the API?
+## 📝 Answer: 
+
+The performance issues in the Search API deployed on September 16, 2025, include:
+
+- Degradation in performance at 1,000+ queries per minute, resulting in a 200ms to 3-second response time for complex queries.
+- High response times for queries that do not utilize caching, causing them to take significantly longer than 2 seconds.
+- Inability to scale to handle spikes in query traffic, leading to increased CPU limits.
+
+These issues are primarily attributed to the complexity and inefficiency of the Elasticsearch queries, as well as the lack of caching layer. This indicates a need for optimization and addressing these specific performance bottlenecks to ensure the API's scalability and effectiveness for the development team.
