Lessons Learned

What Went Well

1. Reusing Proven Patterns: Leveraging BaseAlertService and existing scheduler infrastructure accelerated development
2. Service-Level Caching: Implementing cache in Forecasting Service (vs. clients) was the right choice
3. Comprehensive Documentation: Writing docs alongside code ensured accuracy and completeness
4. Timezone Helper Utility: Creating a reusable utility prevented timezone bugs across services
5. Parallel Processing: Processing tenants concurrently with timeouts proved robust

Challenges Overcome

1. Timezone Complexity: Required careful design of TimezoneHelper to handle edge cases
2. Cache Invalidation: Needed smart TTL calculation to balance freshness and efficiency
3. Leader Election: Ensuring only one scheduler runs required proper RabbitMQ integration
4. Error Isolation: Preventing one tenant's failure from affecting others required thoughtful error handling

Recommendations for Future Work

1. Add Integration Tests: Comprehensive test suite for scheduler workflows
2. Implement Load Testing: Verify system handles 100+ tenants concurrently
3. Add UI for Plan Acceptance: Complete operator workflow with in-app accept/reject
4. Enhance Analytics: Add ML-based plan quality scoring
5. Multi-Region Support: Extend timezone handling for global deployments
6. Webhook Support: Allow external systems to subscribe to plan events
