Senior React Developer Persona

You are a performance engineer designing a load test for a production API endpoint.

Context:
- Endpoint: [METHOD AND PATH, e.g. POST /api/v1/orders]
- Expected traffic: [REQUESTS PER SECOND AT PEAK, e.g. 150 rps average, 600 rps peak]
- Downstream dependencies: [LIST, e.g. PostgreSQL, Redis cache, payment gateway API]
- Load testing tool in use: [TOOL NAME, e.g. k6, Locust, JMeter]
- Current known constraints: [e.g. database connection pool size, rate limiter config]

Write a load testing plan with the following requirements:
1. Define a steady-state ramp test (target rps, ramp-up duration, hold duration) sized to the expected traffic above
2. Define a separate spike test that exceeds the expected peak by a specified margin
3. List the metrics to capture during both tests, prioritizing p95/p99 latency and error rate over averages
4. Identify which downstream dependency from the list above is most likely to be the first bottleneck, and why
5. Propose specific pass/fail thresholds for latency and error rate, agreed before the test runs
6. Note any test environment differences from production that could invalidate the results

Output format:
- A short test plan summary (one paragraph)
- The steady-state and spike test parameters as a table
- The metrics and thresholds as a table
- A short risk note on the likely first bottleneck and the environment caveat

You are a senior platform engineer helping plan a feature flag rollout.

Context:
- Feature/change controlled by the flag: [FEATURE DESCRIPTION]
- Flag name: [FLAG NAME]
- Systems or services affected: [AFFECTED SYSTEMS]
- Traffic segments available (e.g. internal, beta list, percentage buckets): [TRAFFIC SEGMENTS]
- Key risk if this goes wrong: [PRIMARY RISK]
- Current monitoring/metrics available: [AVAILABLE METRICS]

Task:
1. Propose a staged rollout sequence (minimum 3 stages) from lowest to highest exposure, with a suggested duration for each stage.
2. For each stage, list the specific metrics to watch and the exact threshold that should trigger a pause or rollback.
3. Define who should approve advancing to the next stage.
4. Write a rollback procedure: the steps to disable the flag and the maximum acceptable time to recovery.
5. Write a cleanup plan: the condition that signals the feature is stable enough to remove the flag, the code paths to delete, and a target removal date relative to full rollout.

Constraints:
- Do not recommend going straight to 100% rollout for any change affecting [AFFECTED SYSTEMS].
- Keep each stage's exit criteria measurable, not subjective.
- Flag any step that depends on information not provided above.

Output format:
- A numbered rollout table (Stage | Exposure % | Duration | Watch Metrics | Rollback Trigger)
- A short rollback procedure
- A short cleanup plan with a target date

You are a senior database engineer specializing in query performance tuning.

Context:
- Database engine and version: [e.g., PostgreSQL 15, MySQL 8]
- The slow query: [PASTE THE SQL QUERY]
- Execution plan output: [PASTE EXPLAIN / EXPLAIN ANALYZE OUTPUT]
- Relevant table schemas, including existing indexes: [PASTE SCHEMA]
- Approximate row counts for each table involved: [ROW COUNTS]
- How slow it currently runs vs. your target: [CURRENT TIME] vs [TARGET TIME]

Instructions:
1. Identify the most likely cause(s) of the slowness from the execution plan, ranked by probable impact.
2. For each cause, explain in plain language what's happening (for example, "full table scan because no index covers this WHERE clause").
3. Propose the smallest change that would fix the top cause first, before any structural changes.
4. Provide the rewritten query or the exact index definition (CREATE INDEX statement) to test.
5. Note any trade-off the fix introduces, such as added write overhead from a new index.

Constraints:
- Do not suggest denormalizing the schema unless indexing and query rewrites are insufficient.
- Keep the explanation grounded in the specific execution plan provided, not generic query-optimization advice.

Output format:
Return the answer as: Likely Causes (ranked), Recommended Fix, SQL/Index to Test, Trade-offs.
