2.4.6 Future Enhancements

1. Sharding or Partitioning

• If the Trades or ChatMessages table grows exponentially, partition by time (monthly) or by channel ID to keep queries efficient.

2. Advanced Analytics / Data Warehousing

• Offload historical trade + social data to a separate analytics DB or data warehouse (e.g., Redshift or BigQuery) for machine learning or large-scale trend analysis.

3. Geo-Distribution

• Deploy read replicas in multiple regions for lower latency to users worldwide.

4. Automated Archiving

• Periodically move old posts or trades to an archive table or cold storage (S3) to keep the main DB lean.
