# Backend: notification unread-count chatty DB access — 3 parallel countDocuments per event
|
|
|
|
**Severity:** low
|
|
**Domain:** Notification
|
|
**Labels:** performance, backend, database
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
`NotificationService.ts:145` runs 3 `countDocuments` calls per unread-count request. When notification events are frequent, this creates a high volume of DB count queries. Under heavy load, these compete with write operations.
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
1. Cache per-user unread count in Redis, increment/decrement on events.
|
|
2. Coalesce the 3 parallel `countDocuments` into fewer aggregations.
|
|
3. Leave as-is (covered by existing index) and only optimize if hot.
|
|
|
|
## Recommendation
|
|
|
|
Introduce a Redis-backed unread counter updated incrementally; until then, coalesce counts.
