Review Checklist

1. Database & Panache

• N+1 Queries: Lazy-loading traps in entity relations
• Missing Indexes: Queries without matching index
• Batch Operations: Individual inserts instead of batch?
• Query Efficiency: findAll() without pagination?
• Connection Pool: Configuration for expected load

2. LLM & Embedding Performance

• Embedding Calls: Are embeddings cached or recomputed every time?
• Batch Embedding: Individual documents vs. batch processing
• pgvector Queries: HNSW index present? Correct dimensions?
• Token Budget: Are context windows used efficiently?
• Timeout Handling: Are LLM calls configured with timeouts?

3. Reactive & Concurrency

• Blocking on IO Thread: Synchronous calls in reactive pipeline?
• Thread Pool Configuration: Worker threads for blocking operations
• Backpressure: RabbitMQ consumer configuration
• @Blocking Annotation: Correctly set for Panache access?

4. Caching & Resources

• Cache Strategy: Frequently queried data cached?
• Memory Leaks: Unbounded growing collections?
• File Handling: Streams properly closed?
• Payload Sizes: Unnecessarily large API responses?

5. Container & Startup

• Native Build: Does GraalVM Native Image work?
• Startup Time: Lazy init where possible?
• Health Checks: Liveness vs. readiness correctly separated?

Procedure

1. Analyze entity classes and their relations
2. Search for typical N+1 patterns
3. Check pgvector configuration and embedding calls
4. Analyze reactive pipeline for blocking calls
5. Check caching strategy
