Database Consolidation Analysis

Document Version: 1.0 Date: 2026-02-01 Status: Initial Analysis Related ADR: ADR-005 Related Issue: #65

Executive Summary

The Agile Network platform currently operates with 26 separate PostgreSQL databases distributed across microservices. This analysis identifies significant consolidation opportunities that could reduce operational complexity by approximately 70-80% while improving data consistency and reducing cross-database query overhead.

Key Findings

• 26 databases analyzed with 330+ total migrations
• 8 core domain areas identified for consolidation
• High duplication in user profile, media management, and event scheduling schemas
• Cross-database joins currently impossible, requiring application-level data aggregation
• Opportunity: Consolidate to 3-5 bounded context databases

Recommended Consolidation Strategy

Retention as-is: flyway-db (legacy monolith schema), charity-db (minimal), custom-tixr-db (stub)

Database Inventory

1. User & Identity Domain

peeq-celebrity-db (19 migrations)

Purpose: Expert/athlete profile management

Core Tables: - celebrity_profiles - Expert profiles (bio, display_name, status, metadata) - PK: celebrity_user_id (uuid, references Keycloak) - Columns: bio, first_name, last_name, created_on, status - celebrity_profile_status_history - Audit trail for profile state changes - celebrity_profile_image - Profile images (URL storage, not binary) - celebrity_profile_tags - Many-to-many with tags service - celebrity_profile_banners - Banner images (V16) - profile_short_links - Custom URL slugs (V15) - cameo_offer, shoutout_offer - Pricing and availability

Dependencies: - External: Keycloak (celebrity_user_id) - Cross-database: tags-db (via UUIDs in celebrity_profile_tags.tags)

Migration Highlights: - V1: Initial schema - V8: Migrated celebrity_user_id from code to UUID - V17: Added store_code for commerce integration - V18: Added display_weight for sorting/ranking

peeq-fan-db (12 migrations)

Purpose: Consumer profile and following relationships

Core Tables: - fan_profiles - Fan user profiles - PK: fan_user_id (uuid, references Keycloak) - Columns: created_on, meta_data (JSON) - fan_follows - Fan-to-celebrity following relationships - Composite key: fan_user_id + celeb_user_id (MD5 hash stored as id) - Columns: followed_on, unfollowed_on, notifications (JSON array) - Tracks follow/unfollow lifecycle - fan_follow_changes - Audit log for following changes - Columns: occurred_on, change (JSON)

Dependencies: - External: Keycloak (fan_user_id) - Implicit: celebrity-db (celeb_user_id references celebrity profiles)

Key Observations: - Minimal schema (only 3 tables after 12 migrations) - Highly normalized with separate audit table - No actual foreign keys to celebrity-db (cross-database constraint impossible)

peeq-group-profile-db (11 migrations)

Purpose: Groups/teams/organizations (collection of celebrities)

Core Tables: - group_profiles - Team/organization profiles - PK: profile_id (uuid) - Columns: name, description, group_profile_type, is_approved, is_deleted, owner_id, parent_group_profile_id - Self-referential for hierarchical groups - profile_thumbnails - Group images (many-to-one) - group_profile_tags - Tag definitions - group_profile_celebs - Celebrity definitions - profile_tags_association - Group-to-tag many-to-many - profile_celebs_association - Group-to-celebrity many-to-many

Dependencies: - Implicit: celebrity-db (celeb_user_id in profile_celebs_association) - Implicit: tags-db (tag concepts)

Consolidation Potential: HIGH - Could merge into unified User domain database with celebrity and fan profiles.

2. Content & Media Domain

peeq-content-db (7 migrations)

Purpose: Generic file storage metadata

Core Tables: - files - File metadata (not binary storage) - PK: id (varchar) - Columns: content_id, content_length, mime_type, name, owner_id, content_md5 - No binary data - references external storage (S3/CDN)

Key Observations: - Extremely simple schema (1 table) - Does NOT store file content, only metadata - Likely redundant with media-db

peeq-media-db (27 migrations)

Purpose: Rich media file management with Mux integration

Core Tables: - files - Media file metadata - PK: content_id (uuid) - Columns: owner_id, content_length, content_md5, mime_type, content_secret - Rich media fields: duration, height, width, type (photo/video), state - Integration fields: media_info (JSON), mux_info (JSON for video transcoding) - thumbnail_for - References another file as thumbnail - files_price_history - Pricing audit trail (referenced in schema but not in V1) - History tables for state transitions (likely in later migrations)

Dependencies: - External: Mux (video transcoding) - External: S3/CDN (actual file storage)

Overlap with content-db: - Both have files table with similar structure - media-db is superset with video-specific fields - Strong consolidation candidate

peeq-shoutout-db (23 migrations)

Purpose: Personalized video message streams

Core Tables: - mux_stream - Shoutout video stream metadata - PK: id (uuid) - Columns: created_by_id, inventory_item_id, stream_state, stream_key - Integration: mux_info (JSON), inventory_info (JSON)

Consolidation Potential: HIGH - Could merge into Content & Media DB with media-db

peeq-mux-livestream-db (15 migrations)

Purpose: Live broadcast stream management

Core Tables: - mux_livestreams - Livestream metadata - PK: livestream_id (uuid) - Columns: name, description, inventory_info (JSON), group_id, created_by - Indexed: group_id, created_on

Dependencies: - External: Mux - Cross-database: inventory-db (inventory_info references items), group-profile-db (group_id)

Overlap: - Similar to shoutout-db (both manage Mux streams) - Could consolidate into unified Video Streaming schema

3. Commerce Domain

peeq-stripe-db (13 migrations)

Purpose: Payment processing and exchange rates

Core Tables: - exchange_rates - Currency/token conversion rates - PK: id (uuid) - Columns: price, amount, name, keywords (array), meta_data, deleted_on

Purpose: Purchasable item catalog

Core Tables: - inventory_item - Items available for purchase - PK: id (uuid) - Unique: item_id (varchar) - Columns: type, state, price, quantity, created_by_id - Array columns: associated_series, associated_subscriptions, associated_tags, keywords, restricted_users - Subscription fields: recurring_payment, auto_expires, is_refundable, limit_per_fan - inventory_item_price_history - Price change audit - inventory_item_quantity_history - Stock change audit - inventory_item_state_history - State transition audit

Dependencies: - Cross-database: subscriptions-db (associated_subscriptions), tags-db (associated_tags), celebrity-db (created_by_id)

Consolidation Potential: HIGH - Central to commerce domain, should consolidate with stripe/wallet/transaction databases

4. Events & Streaming Domain

Security Concern: - Stores encryption keys and secrets - Should remain isolated for security boundary - Retain as separate database

peeq-dwolla-db (4 migrations)

Purpose: Dwolla payment vault (duplicate of encryption-db)

Core Tables: - vault_namespaces - Identical to encryption-db - vault_secrets - Identical to encryption-db

Duplication: - Exact copy of encryption-db schema - Separated for Dwolla-specific secrets - Could consolidate with encryption-db but maintain namespace separation

Purpose: Original monolith schema (event sourcing pattern)

Core Tables (51+ tables): - celebrity, fan, moderator - User entities (duplicates newer microservice schemas) - audio, photo, video - Media entities with categories - conference, live, one_on_one_meet - Event/meeting entities - message, broadcast_message, collaborate_message - Messaging - transaction - Purchase tracking - calendar, day, time_range, time_slot_entity - Scheduling - Aggregate root tables: *_aggregate_root (event sourcing pattern) - Domain events: domain_event table - Join tables: 30+ *_jt tables for many-to-many relationships

Architecture: - Event sourcing with aggregate roots - Highly normalized with explicit join tables - Contains duplicates of nearly every domain in microservices - Legacy system - DO NOT migrate, extract patterns only

8. Stub/Minimal Databases

peeq-charity-db (2 migrations)

• Stub schema: -- test project comment, no actual tables
• Can be deleted or repurposed

peeq-custom-tixr-db (2 migrations)

• Stub schema: Single example table with 3 columns
• Can be deleted or repurposed

Implicit Relationships (No Foreign Keys)

Due to cross-database constraints being impossible in PostgreSQL, these relationships exist only in application code:

Impact: These relationships cannot be enforced at database level, leading to: - Orphaned records if deletions aren’t coordinated - No cascading updates/deletes - Application-level join logic required for reporting

Domain Groupings

Proposed Consolidation: 5 Core Databases

1. User & Identity Database (peeq_users)

Consolidates: celebrity-db, fan-db, group-profile-db

Schema Design:

-- Unified profiles with type discriminator
CREATE TABLE profiles (
    id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
    keycloak_id UUID UNIQUE NOT NULL,
    profile_type VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, -- 'CELEBRITY', 'FAN', 'GROUP'
    created_on TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
    meta_data JSONB,

    -- Celebrity-specific
    bio TEXT,
    display_name VARCHAR(255),
    status VARCHAR(50),
    display_weight INT,
    store_code VARCHAR(50),

    -- Group-specific
    parent_group_id UUID REFERENCES profiles(id),
    is_approved BOOLEAN,
    owner_id UUID REFERENCES profiles(id),

    -- Indexes
    CHECK (profile_type IN ('CELEBRITY', 'FAN', 'GROUP'))
);

CREATE TABLE profile_images (
    id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
    profile_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES profiles(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    image_type VARCHAR(50), -- 'PROFILE', 'BANNER', 'THUMBNAIL'
    url TEXT NOT NULL,
    created_on TIMESTAMP NOT NULL
);

CREATE TABLE profile_tags (
    profile_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES profiles(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    tag_id UUID NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (profile_id, tag_id)
);

CREATE TABLE fan_follows (
    id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
    fan_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES profiles(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    celebrity_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES profiles(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    followed_on TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
    unfollowed_on TIMESTAMP,
    notifications JSONB,
    UNIQUE (fan_id, celebrity_id)
);

CREATE TABLE profile_status_history (
    id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
    profile_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES profiles(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    status VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    occurred_on TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
    meta_data JSONB
);

Benefits: - Single source of truth for user data - Foreign key enforcement for follows/relationships - Reduced connection pooling overhead - Simplified authentication integration

Migration Complexity: Medium - Merge 3 schemas with similar structures - Preserve all audit history - Update ~10 dependent services

2. Content & Media Database (peeq_media)

Consolidates: content-db, media-db, shoutout-db, mux-livestream-db

Schema Design:

-- Unified media files
CREATE TABLE media_files (
    id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
    owner_id UUID NOT NULL, -- References peeq_users.profiles
    media_type VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, -- 'IMAGE', 'VIDEO', 'AUDIO', 'DOCUMENT'
    content_source VARCHAR(50), -- 'UPLOAD', 'MUX_STREAM', 'MUX_LIVESTREAM', 'SHOUTOUT'

    -- File metadata
    mime_type VARCHAR(255),

    id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
    stream_type VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, -- 'SHOUTOUT', 'LIVESTREAM', 'BROADCAST'
    created_by UUID NOT NULL, -- References peeq_users.profiles
    name TEXT,
    description TEXT,
    stream_state VARCHAR(50),
    stream_key VARCHAR(255),

    -- Mux integration
    mux_info JSONB,

    -- Inventory
    inventory_item_id UUID,

    -- Group association
    group_id UUID, -- References peeq_users.profiles (type=GROUP)

    -- Timestamps
    created_on TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
    modified_on TIMESTAMP,

    CHECK (stream_type IN ('SHOUTOUT', 'LIVESTREAM', 'BROADCAST'))

3. Commerce Database (peeq_commerce)

Consolidates: inventory-db, stripe-db, subscriptions-db, wallet-db, transaction-db

Schema Design:

-- Unified inventory
CREATE TABLE inventory_items (
    id UUID PRIMARY KEY,

    old_value VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    new_value VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    changed_on TIMESTAMP NOT NULL
);

Benefits: - Consistent transaction tracking - Atomic balance updates with transactions - Foreign key integrity for purchases - Single source for pricing/inventory

Migration Complexity: Very High - 5 databases with critical financial data - Must maintain transaction history integrity - Requires careful balance reconciliation - Stripe integration must remain stable - Update ~15 dependent services

4. Events & Streaming Database (peeq_events)

Consolidates: broadcast-db, stream-db, onsite-event-db, class-catalog-db

Schema Design:

CREATE INDEX idx_notifications_user ON notifications(user_id, status);
CREATE INDEX idx_notifications_status ON notifications(status, created_on);

Benefits: - Eliminate SSE/message-board duplication - Centralized tag management - Unified notification tracking - Reduced connection overhead

Migration Complexity: Medium - 4 databases with minimal overlap - Tags database referenced by many services (requires coordination) - Update ~12 dependent services

Databases to Retain Separately

1. Infrastructure: peeq_encryption (merged from encryption-db + dwolla-db)

Rationale: - Security boundary isolation - Encryption key management best practice - Minimize attack surface

Consolidation: - Merge encryption-db and dwolla-db (identical schemas) - Use namespace separation for Dwolla vs general secrets

Schema:

-- Keep existing vault_namespaces and vault_secrets schema
-- Add namespace_type column for separation
ALTER TABLE vault_namespaces ADD COLUMN namespace_type VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT 'GENERAL';
-- 'GENERAL', 'DWOLLA', 'STRIPE', 'MUX'

2. Analytics: node-tracking-db (MySQL)

Rationale: - Different database technology (MySQL vs PostgreSQL) - Analytics workload (OLAP vs OLTP) - UTM tracking and link management - Could migrate to PostgreSQL but low ROI

Keep as-is unless migrating to dedicated analytics platform (e.g., BigQuery, Snowflake)

3. Legacy: peeq_flyway (read-only archive)

Rationale: - Legacy monolith schema - Event sourcing architecture - Historical data only - Do NOT migrate or consolidate

Action: - Mark as read-only - Preserve for data archaeology - Extract patterns for new architecture, not data

Consolidation Recommendations

Phase 1: Quick Wins (Low Risk, High Impact)

Target: Eliminate obvious duplicates

Estimated Reduction: 5 databases → 2 databases Services to Update: ~6 services Timeline: 2-3 weeks

Phase 2: Domain Consolidation (Medium Risk, High Value)

Target: Create domain-aligned databases

Estimated Reduction: 15 databases → 4 databases Services to Update: ~25 services Timeline: 4-6 months

Phase 3: Commerce Consolidation (High Risk, Critical)

Target: Unified commerce database

Complexity: - Financial data requires careful migration - Must maintain transaction history integrity - Zero-downtime migration required - Balance reconciliation critical

Estimated Reduction: 5 databases → 1 database Services to Update: ~15 services Timeline: 3-4 months (dedicated focus)

Final State: 8 Databases (from 26)

Total Reduction: 26 → 8 databases (69% reduction)

Migration Risk Assessment

Risk Categories

Critical Success Factors

1. Automated Testing
   • Unit tests for all data access layers
   • Integration tests for cross-service transactions
   • Load tests for consolidated databases
2. Migration Tooling
   • Idempotent migration scripts
   • Data validation after each migration
   • Automated rollback capability
3. Dual-Write Strategy (for Phase 2 & 3)
   • Write to both old and new databases during transition
   • Compare results for consistency
   • Gradual cutover to new database
4. Monitoring
   • Transaction volume tracking
   • Balance reconciliation dashboards
   • Error rate alerting
   • Performance regression detection
5. Rollback Plan
   • Database snapshots before each migration
   • Service version pinning
   • Quick rollback procedures documented

Implementation Strategy

Approach: Strangler Fig Pattern

1. Create new consolidated database
2. Dual-write to both old and new
3. Migrate historical data
4. Validate data consistency
5. Switch reads to new database
6. Stop writes to old database
7. Decommission old database

Example: User Domain Consolidation

-- Step 1: Create peeq_users with unified schema
CREATE DATABASE peeq_users;

-- Step 2: Migrate celebrity profiles
INSERT INTO peeq_users.profiles (id, keycloak_id, profile_type, bio, display_name, ...)
SELECT celebrity_user_id, celebrity_user_id, 'CELEBRITY', bio, display_name, ...
FROM peeq_celebrity.celebrity_profiles;

-- Step 3: Migrate fan profiles
INSERT INTO peeq_users.profiles (id, keycloak_id, profile_type, created_on, meta_data)
SELECT fan_user_id, fan_user_id, 'FAN', created_on, meta_data
FROM peeq_fan.fan_profiles;

-- Step 4: Migrate follows (with new foreign keys)
INSERT INTO peeq_users.fan_follows (id, fan_id, celebrity_id, followed_on, unfollowed_on, notifications)
SELECT id, fan_user_id, celeb_user_id, followed_on, unfollowed_on, notifications
FROM peeq_fan.fan_follows
WHERE unfollowed_on IS NULL; -- Active follows only

-- Step 5: Validate counts
SELECT 'CELEBRITY', COUNT(*) FROM peeq_users.profiles WHERE profile_type = 'CELEBRITY'
UNION ALL
SELECT 'FAN', COUNT(*) FROM peeq_users.profiles WHERE profile_type = 'FAN'
UNION ALL
SELECT 'FOLLOWS', COUNT(*) FROM peeq_users.fan_follows;

-- Compare with source databases

Service Update Pattern

// Old: Multiple database connections
@Autowired private CelebrityRepository celebrityRepo;
@Autowired private FanRepository fanRepo;

// New: Unified user service
@Autowired private UserProfileRepository userRepo;

// Transition: Dual-write during migration
public void updateCelebrity(UUID id, CelebrityDTO dto) {
    // Write to old database
    celebrityRepo.save(dto);

    // Write to new database (if feature flag enabled)
    if (featureFlags.isEnabled("USE_UNIFIED_USERS")) {
        userRepo.save(dto.toProfile());
    }
}

// After validation: Switch to new database only
public void updateProfile(UUID id, ProfileDTO dto) {
    userRepo.save(dto);
}

Performance Implications

Connection Pool Optimization

Current State: - 26 databases × 10 connections/service × 20 services = 5,200 potential connections - Actual: ~500-800 active connections across cluster

Consolidated State: - 8 databases × 20 connections/service × 20 services = 3,200 potential connections - Estimated: ~300-400 active connections

Savings: - 40-50% reduction in connection overhead - Reduced PostgreSQL server memory (each connection ~10MB) - Faster connection acquisition

Query Performance

Improvements: - Foreign key joins replace application-level joins (10-100x faster) - Single transaction for multi-table operations (ACID guarantees) - Reduced network hops for related data

Example:

-- Current: 2 queries across databases (application join)
-- Query 1 (peeq_fan):
SELECT celeb_user_id FROM fan_follows WHERE fan_user_id = ?;

-- Query 2 (peeq_celebrity):
SELECT * FROM celebrity_profiles WHERE celebrity_user_id IN (?);

-- Consolidated: 1 query with join
SELECT p.*
FROM fan_follows ff
JOIN profiles p ON p.id = ff.celebrity_id
WHERE ff.fan_id = ?;

Trade-offs: - Larger databases (more rows per table) - Must manage connection pools per domain - Potential for lock contention (mitigate with row-level locking)

Data Volume Estimates

Total Current: ~26 GB across 26 databases Total Consolidated: ~26 GB across 8 databases (same data, better organized)

Conclusion

This analysis identifies a clear path to reduce database complexity from 26 to 8 databases through domain-driven consolidation. The proposed three-phase approach balances risk with value delivery:

1. Phase 1 (Quick Wins): Eliminate obvious duplicates in 2-3 weeks
2. Phase 2 (Domain Consolidation): Create bounded context databases in 4-6 months
3. Phase 3 (Commerce Consolidation): Unify financial data in 3-4 months

The consolidation will deliver: - 69% reduction in database count - Foreign key integrity replacing application-level consistency - 40-50% reduction in connection pool overhead - Simplified operations with fewer backup/restore cycles - Improved query performance through joins instead of application-level aggregation

The highest risk area is commerce consolidation (Phase 3) due to financial data sensitivity. This phase requires dedicated focus, extensive testing, and a robust rollback plan.

Recommendation: Proceed with Phase 1 immediately, begin planning Phase 2 in parallel, and defer Phase 3 until Phase 2 stabilizes.
