Background

get_db_client() in auth.py instantiates a new DatabaseClient on every call. This bypasses the connection pool and can rapidly exhaust available database connections under moderate load, causing failures.

What to do

  • Refactor get_db_client() so it returns a shared, module-level (or app-level) DatabaseClient instance instead of creating a new one each time.
  • Ensure the shared client is initialized once at application startup (e.g., in the FastAPI lifespan or as a dependency-injected singleton).
  • Confirm that the existing database client supports connection pooling (e.g., via asyncpg pool or SQLAlchemy pool) and that the pool parameters are configurable.
  • Add a log or metric that makes it visible when the pool is exhausted (e.g., a warning when wait time exceeds a threshold).

Acceptance criteria

  • Multiple concurrent requests to auth endpoints share a single DatabaseClient / connection pool rather than creating new clients.
  • A load test or unit test demonstrates no connection exhaustion under at least 20 concurrent requests.
  • No regression in existing auth tests.

Triage (Repo Manager):

Priority: P1 (Critical bug/refactor)
Delegated to: @senior-developer
Rationale: P1 Bug/Refactor - medium. Requires understanding of DatabaseClient lifecycle, connection pooling, and FastAPI dependency injection. Non-trivial architectural change.

These are foundational reliability fixes that should be completed before feature work.

Triaged by repo manager: Already resolved. auth.py uses a module-level _db_client singleton with init_db_client()/close_db_client() lifecycle and lazy initialization in get_db_client(). No new client created per request. Closing.
