April 2026 monthly summary for linkedin/datahub-gma: Implemented a Shared Schema Metadata Cache Across Databases by introducing a per-database URL cache so multiple entity types share a single cache per database. This design reduces database query load and cold-start latency without API changes for downstream services. Key operational mechanisms include pre-warming during ensureSchemaUpToDate, and a background refresh every 9 minutes with host-level jitter to avoid thundering herd scenarios. The feature extended caching to EbeanLocalRelationshipQueryDAO and included comprehensive tests (SharedSchemaCacheTest). Overall impact: information_schema queries dropped from ~150 per database per refresh to ~2 per database per refresh per host, dramatically lowering DB load and speeding up startup. Business value includes faster deploys, improved responsiveness for rich metadata queries, and better scalability across services. Technologies/skills demonstrated include Java/Ebean ORM caching, per-URL singleton cache design, cache warm-up strategies, background task scheduling, test isolation improvements, and observability enhancements.
