### Performance Monitoring Recommendations

1. **Set up monitoring for**:
   - Average operation latency (alert if >baseline)
   - Throughput degradation (alert if <50% of benchmark)
   - Memory usage trends
   - Database connection pool saturation

2. **Establish alerts**:
   - Model registration >15ms (150% of baseline)
   - Prediction storage >25ms (150% of baseline)
   - Accuracy calculation >150ms (150% of baseline)

3. **Regular benchmarking**:
   - Run performance tests weekly
   - Compare against baselines
   - Track performance trends over time

## Performance Optimization History

### Optimizations Applied

1. **Database Indexes**:
   - `ml_models(model_name, version)` - Unique index for fast lookups
   - `ml_predictions(model_name, version, timestamp)` - Composite index for time-range queries
   - `ml_confidence_baselines(model_name, version)` - Unique index for baseline retrieval

2. **Query Optimizations**:
   - Use of prepared statements via SqlQuery Value Object
   - Efficient JSON encoding for complex data structures
   - LIMIT clauses for bounded result sets

3. **Code Optimizations**:
   - Readonly classes for better PHP optimization
   - Explicit type conversions to avoid overhead
   - Minimal object allocations in hot paths

## Bottleneck Analysis

2. **JSON Encoding Overhead** (estimated 10-15% of operation time)
   - **Impact**: Low
   - **Solution**: Consider MessagePack for binary serialization
   - **Expected Improvement**: 10-20% latency reduction

3. **Database Connection Overhead** (negligible in current environment)
