Architecture & Performance

Every module in CareNova follows the same consistent pattern:

Server Component → Server Action → Zod validation → 
Drizzle query → revalidatePath

• Server Components for all data fetching — minimal client JavaScript bundle

• Parallel DB queries using Promise.all in two batches to prevent connection pool exhaustion

• Module-level caching with TTL — clinic data cached for 5 minutes, license status cached for 1 hour

• Zero any types — strict TypeScript throughout

• npm run build passes clean — zero errors before every release

• Idempotent INSTALL.sql — safe to run multiple times on any environment
