Code Vectorizer - Product Guide

🚀 Product Overview

Code Vectorizer is a scalable SaaS solution for vectorizing codebases and enabling semantic search. It's designed to handle multiple users, each with their own isolated data storage, making it perfect for building a code intelligence platform.

🏗️ Architecture

Multi-Tenant Design

Dynamic Schema Creation: Each user gets their own PostgreSQL schema
Data Isolation: Complete separation between users
Scalable Storage: Can handle unlimited users and repositories

Schema Naming Convention

user_{username}_repo_{repo_name}

Example: user_john_doe_repo_my_project

🔧 Technical Implementation

1. Authentication & Authorization

# Add to server.py
from fastapi import Depends, HTTPException, status
from fastapi.security import HTTPBearer, HTTPAuthorizationCredentials
import jwt

security = HTTPBearer()

async def get_current_user(credentials: HTTPAuthorizationCredentials = Depends(security)):
    # Implement JWT validation
    # Return user object
    pass

2. Rate Limiting

# Add rate limiting middleware
from slowapi import Limiter, _rate_limit_exceeded_handler
from slowapi.util import get_remote_address
from slowapi.errors import RateLimitExceeded

limiter = Limiter(key_func=get_remote_address)
app.state.limiter = limiter
app.add_exception_handler(RateLimitExceeded, _rate_limit_exceeded_handler)

3. Usage Tracking

# Track API usage
class UsageTracker:
    def track_vectorization(self, username: str, repo_size: int):
        # Store usage metrics
        pass
    
    def track_search(self, username: str, query_length: int):
        # Track search usage
        pass

🔒 Security Considerations

1. Data Protection

Encryption at Rest: Encrypt database and file storage
Encryption in Transit: Use HTTPS/TLS for all communications
Access Controls: Implement role-based access control (RBAC)

2. Compliance

GDPR: Right to be forgotten, data portability
SOC 2: Security controls and monitoring
ISO 27001: Information security management

3. Security Features

# Add security headers
from fastapi.middleware.trustedhost import TrustedHostMiddleware
from fastapi.middleware.cors import CORSMiddleware

app.add_middleware(TrustedHostMiddleware, allowed_hosts=["*.yourdomain.com"])
app.add_middleware(CORSMiddleware, allow_origins=["https://yourdomain.com"])

📈 Scaling Strategies

1. Horizontal Scaling

Load Balancer: Distribute traffic across multiple API instances
Database Sharding: Split data across multiple database instances
CDN: Cache static assets and API responses

2. Vertical Scaling

Database Optimization: Increase CPU/memory for PostgreSQL
Vector Indexing: Optimize pgvector indexes for large datasets
Caching: Redis for frequently accessed data

3. Cost Optimization

Spot Instances: Use AWS spot instances for non-critical workloads
Auto-scaling: Scale down during low usage periods
Storage Optimization: Compress embeddings and use efficient storage
