Time-series data: TimescaleDB or InfluxDB?
100M rows a day breaks a plain table, so chunk it by time with hypertables, materialize the averages as continuous aggregates, and compress the old chunks.

How do I migrate a table to PostgreSQL partitioning with zero downtime?
Stand up monthly RANGE declarative partitioning on `created_at`, backfill history in batches while the app writes, then swap names in a single transaction.

Graceful degradation: how do I isolate non-critical services under load?
Split the critical path (browse, cart, checkout) from the nice-to-haves, put those behind feature flags with short timeouts, and rehearse the kill-switch.

How do I do graceful shutdown on SIGTERM during autoscaling scale-in?
On SIGTERM drain the load balancer first, finish in-flight work inside the server.Shutdown(ctx) deadline, then align the grace period with that drain.

Multi-tenant SaaS database isolation: separate DB, schema, or tenant_id?
Database-per-tenant does not scale operationally at 10k; keep tenant_id on every table and bury isolation in Postgres Row-Level Security instead.

When moving local files to S3, is EFS a good interim step?
Don't make EFS the interim step; switch to a Flysystem s3 disk, route reads and writes via Storage::disk(), and migrate with dual-read for zero downtime.
