## 📱 FRONTEND PERFORMANCE

### Flutter Optimization

#### App Startup Optimization
```dart
// lib/core/performance/startup_optimizer.dart
class StartupOptimizer {
  static Future<void> optimizeStartup() async {
    // 1. Initialize critical services first
    await _initializeCriticalServices();
    
    // 2. Load essential UI components
    await _preloadEssentialUI();
    
    // 3. Initialize background services
    _initializeBackgroundServices();
    
    // 4. Cache frequently used data
    await _preloadCriticalData();
  }
  
  static Future<void> _initializeCriticalServices() async {
    // Initialize authentication
    await GetIt.instance<AuthService>().initialize();
    
    // Initialize local storage
    await GetIt.instance<StorageService>().initialize();
    
    // Initialize network client
    await GetIt.instance<ApiClient>().initialize();
  }
  
  static Future<void> _preloadEssentialUI() async {
    // Preload common widgets
    await Future.wait([
      precacheImage(AssetImage('assets/images/logo.png')),
      precacheImage(AssetImage('assets/images/placeholder.png')),
    ]);
    
    // Warm up common fonts
    await Future.wait([
      GoogleFonts.poppins().load(),
      GoogleFonts.inter().load(),
    ]);
  }
}
```

#### Widget Performance
```dart
// lib/shared/performance/optimized_widgets.dart
class OptimizedListView extends StatelessWidget {
  final List<Item> items;
  final Widget Function(BuildContext, Item) itemBuilder;
  
  const OptimizedListView({
    required this.items,
    required this.itemBuilder,
  });
  
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return ListView.builder(
      itemCount: items.length,
      // Use itemExtent for consistent height
      itemExtent: 80.0,
      // Cache extent for smooth scrolling
      cacheExtent: 500.0,
      // Add semantic labels for accessibility
      addSemanticIndexes: true,
      itemBuilder: (context, index) {
        return _OptimizedListItem(
          item: items[index],
          builder: itemBuilder,
        );
      },
    );
  }
}

class _OptimizedListItem extends StatelessWidget {
  final Item item;
  final Widget Function(BuildContext, Item) builder;
  
  const _OptimizedListItem({
    required this.item,
    required this.builder,
  });
  
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    // Use const constructors where possible
    return RepaintBoundary(
      child: RepaintBoundary(
        child: builder(context, item),
      ),
    );
  }
}
```

#### State Management Optimization
```dart
// lib/core/performance/state_optimizer.dart
class StateOptimizer {
  // Use automatic disposal
  static AutoDisposeRiverpodProvider<T> autoDispose<T>(
    ProviderBase<T> provider,
  ) {
    return AutoDisposeProvider<T>((ref) => ref.watch(provider));
  }
  
  // Use family providers for caching
  static FamilyProvider<T, Arg> family<T, Arg>(
    T Function(Ref, Arg) create,
  ) {
    return Provider.family<T, Arg>(create);
  }
  
  // Use select for granular updates
  static Provider<T> select<T, R>(
    Provider<T> provider,
    R Function(T) selector,
  ) {
    return Provider<T>((ref) => selector(ref.watch(provider)));
  }
  
  // Debounce frequent updates
  static Provider<T> debounce<T>(
    Provider<T> provider,
    Duration duration,
  ) {
    return Provider<T>((ref) {
      return ref.watch(provider).debounce(duration);
    });
  }
}
```

#### Image and Asset Optimization
```dart
// lib/core/performance/asset_optimizer.dart
class AssetOptimizer {
  static Widget optimizedImage({
    required String imageUrl,
    double? width,
    double? height,
    BoxFit fit = BoxFit.cover,
  }) {
    return CachedNetworkImage(
      imageUrl: imageUrl,
      width: width,
      height: height,
      fit: fit,
      // Use appropriate cache size
      memCacheWidth: width?.toInt(),
      memCacheHeight: height?.toInt(),
      // Progressive loading
      progressIndicatorBuilder: (context, url, progress) => 
        Center(
          child: CircularProgressIndicator(
            value: progress.progress,
          ),
        ),
      // Error handling
      errorWidget: (context, url, error) => 
        Container(
          color: Colors.grey[300],
          child: Icon(Icons.error),
        ),
      // Cache key for consistency
        cacheKey: _generateCacheKey(imageUrl, width, height),
    );
  }
  
  static String _generateCacheKey(String url, double? width, double? height) {
    return '${url}_${width ?? 'auto'}_${height ?? 'auto'}';
  }
}
```

### Memory Management

#### Memory Optimization Strategies
```dart
// lib/core/performance/memory_manager.dart
class MemoryManager {
  static void disposeUnusedResources() {
    // Clear image cache
    PaintingBinding.instance.imageCache.clear();
    
    // Dispose controllers
    GetIt.instance.reset();
    
    // Clear stream subscriptions
    _clearStreamSubscriptions();
  }
  
  static void monitorMemoryUsage() {
    // Monitor memory usage in debug mode
    if (kDebugMode) {
      Timer.periodic(Duration(seconds: 30), (timer) {
        final info = ProcessInfo.currentRss;
        print('Memory usage: ${info ~/ 1024 / 1024} MB');
        
        // Trigger garbage collection if memory is high
        if (info > 512 * 1024 * 1024) { // 512MB
          System.gc();
        }
      });
    }
  }
  
  static void optimizeForLowMemory() {
    // Reduce image cache size
    PaintingBinding.instance.imageCache.maximumSize = 50;
    
    // Disable expensive animations
    // This would be handled by a settings provider
    
    // Use lighter widgets
    // Replace heavy widgets with lighter alternatives
  }
}
```

## ⚡ BACKEND PERFORMANCE

### Firebase Optimization

#### Firestore Performance
```typescript
// functions/src/performance/firestore_optimizer.ts
export class FirestoreOptimizer {
  // Batch operations for efficiency
  async batchWrite(operations: WriteOperation[]): Promise<void> {
    const batch = admin.firestore().batch();
    
    for (const operation of operations) {
      switch (operation.type) {
        case 'create':
          batch.create(operation.ref, operation.data);
          break;
        case 'update':
          batch.update(operation.ref, operation.data);
          break;
        case 'delete':
          batch.delete(operation.ref);
          break;
      }
    }
    
    await batch.commit();
  }
  
  // Optimized queries with indexes
  async optimizedQuery(
    collection: string,
    filters: QueryFilter[],
    orderBy?: string,
    limit?: number
  ): Promise<DocumentSnapshot[]> {
    let query = admin.firestore().collection(collection);
    
    // Apply filters efficiently
    for (const filter of filters) {
      query = query.where(filter.field, filter.operator, filter.value);
    }
    
    // Add ordering if specified
    if (orderBy) {
      query = query.orderBy(orderBy);
    }
    
    // Add limit if specified
    if (limit) {
      query = query.limit(limit);
    }
    
    // Execute query with timeout
    const snapshot = await Promise.race([
      query.get(),
      new Promise((_, reject) => 
        setTimeout(() => reject(new Error('Query timeout')), 5000)
      )
    ]) as QuerySnapshot;
    
    return snapshot.docs;
  }
  
  // Pagination for large datasets
  async paginatedQuery(
    collection: string,
    pageSize: number,
    lastDocument?: DocumentSnapshot
  ): Promise<PaginatedResult> {
    let query = admin.firestore()
      .collection(collection)
      .orderBy('createdAt', 'desc')
      .limit(pageSize);
    
    if (lastDocument) {
      query = query.startAfter(lastDocument);
    }
    
    const snapshot = await query.get();
    
    return {
      documents: snapshot.docs,
      hasMore: snapshot.docs.length === pageSize,
      lastDocument: snapshot.docs[snapshot.docs.length - 1],
    };
  }
}
```

#### Cloud Functions Optimization
```typescript
// functions/src/performance/function_optimizer.ts
export class FunctionOptimizer {
  // Cold start optimization
  static optimizeColdStart() {
    // Keep functions warm
    setInterval(() => {
      this.warmUpFunctions();
    }, 5 * 60 * 1000); // Every 5 minutes
  }
  
  private static async warmUpFunctions() {
    // Ping critical functions to keep them warm
    const criticalFunctions = [
      'askTutor',
      'submitQuiz',
      'getLearningState',
    ];
    
    for (const functionName of criticalFunctions) {
      try {
        await this.callFunction(functionName, { warmup: true });
      } catch (error) {
        // Ignore warmup errors
      }
    }
  }
  
  // Memory optimization
  static optimizeMemory() {
    // Clear unused variables
    global.gc?.();
    
    // Limit concurrent executions
    process.env.CONCURRENT_EXECUTIONS = '10';
  }
  
  // Connection pooling
  static createConnectionPool() {
    // Reuse database connections
    const pool = new ConnectionPool({
      max: 10,
      min: 2,
      acquireTimeoutMillis: 30000,
      idleTimeoutMillis: 30000,
    });
    
    return pool;
  }
}
```

#### Caching Strategy
```typescript
// functions/src/performance/cache_manager.ts
export class CacheManager {
  private redis: Redis;
  
  constructor() {
    this.redis = new Redis(process.env.REDIS_URL);
  }
  
  // Multi-level caching
  async get<T>(key: string): Promise<T | null> {
    // Level 1: Memory cache
    const memoryCache = this.getFromMemory<T>(key);
    if (memoryCache) return memoryCache;
    
    // Level 2: Redis cache
    const redisCache = await this.redis.get(key);
    if (redisCache) {
      const data = JSON.parse(redisCache);
      this.setToMemory(key, data);
      return data;
    }
    
    return null;
  }
  
  async set(key: string, value: any, ttl: number = 300): Promise<void> {
    // Set in memory cache
    this.setToMemory(key, value);
    
    // Set in Redis cache
    await this.redis.setex(key, ttl, JSON.stringify(value));
  }
  
  // Cache invalidation
  async invalidate(pattern: string): Promise<void> {
    // Clear from memory
    this.clearFromMemory(pattern);
    
    // Clear from Redis
    const keys = await this.redis.keys(pattern);
    if (keys.length > 0) {
      await this.redis.del(...keys);
    }
  }
  
  // Cache warming
  async warmCache(): Promise<void> {
    // Pre-load frequently accessed data
    const warmupQueries = [
      'popular_concepts',
      'user_preferences',
      'content_metadata',
    ];
    
    for (const query of warmupQueries) {
      await this.preloadData(query);
    }
  }
}
```
