def calculate_pace(distance: float, duration: int) -> Optional[float]:

Design Patterns¶

Configuration Pattern¶

Environment Detection:

def get_environment() -> str:
    """Automatic environment detection based on OS"""
    return "development" if platform.system() == "Darwin" else "production"

Configuration Loading:

@lru_cache(maxsize=1)
def load_config():
    """Cached configuration loading"""
    return {
        "database": DatabaseConfig.get_connection_params(),
        "app": AppConfig.load_app_settings(),
        "logging": LoggingConfig.get_config()
    }

Repository Pattern¶

Database access is abstracted through service classes:

class WorkoutRepository:
    """Data access layer for workout entities"""

    def __init__(self, db_service: DatabaseService):
        self.db = db_service

    def get_workouts_by_date_range(self, start: datetime, end: datetime):
        """Retrieve workouts within date range"""

    def get_activity_summary(self, activity_type: str):
        """Get summary statistics for activity type"""

Dependency Injection¶

Services are injected rather than instantiated directly:

def create_dashboard_view(db_service: DatabaseService):
    """Factory function for dashboard with injected dependencies"""
    workout_repo = WorkoutRepository(db_service)
    return DashboardView(workout_repo)

Data Flow Architecture¶

Import Pipeline¶

sequenceDiagram
    participant U as User
    participant I as Import Script
    participant V as Validator
    participant T as Transformer
    participant DB as Database

    U->>I: Execute update_db.py
    I->>I: Read CSV file
    I->>V: Validate data format
    V->>T: Transform data
    T->>DB: Bulk insert records
    DB->>U: Import complete

Query Execution Flow¶

sequenceDiagram
    participant UI as Streamlit UI
    participant S as Service Layer
    participant DB as Database Service
    participant MySQL as MySQL Database

    UI->>S: User query request
    S->>S: Validate query
    S->>DB: Execute query
    DB->>MySQL: SQL execution
    MySQL->>DB: Result set
    DB->>S: Processed results
    S->>UI: Formatted data
    UI->>UI: Render visualization

Security Considerations¶

Database Security¶

Connection Security: - Environment-specific credentials - Connection pooling with timeouts - SQL injection prevention through parameterized queries

Data Protection:

def sanitize_query(query: str) -> str:
    """Sanitize user input for SQL queries"""
    # Remove dangerous SQL keywords
    # Validate query structure
    # Return safe query

Configuration Security¶

Secret Management: - Environment variables for sensitive data - .env files excluded from version control - Production secrets managed through deployment pipeline

Access Control: - Database user with minimal required privileges - Connection limits and timeouts - Query execution limits

Performance Optimizations¶

Database Optimization¶

Indexing Strategy:

-- Performance indexes
CREATE INDEX idx_workout_date ON workout_summary(workout_date);
CREATE INDEX idx_activity_type ON workout_summary(activity_type);
CREATE INDEX idx_date_activity ON workout_summary(workout_date, activity_type);

Query Optimization: - Date range filtering for large datasets - Aggregation at database level - Connection pooling and reuse

Frontend Optimization¶

Caching Strategy:

@st.cache_data(ttl=300)  # 5-minute cache
def get_monthly_summary(month: str):
    """Cached monthly data retrieval"""
    return database_service.get_monthly_data(month)

Lazy Loading: - Progressive data loading for large datasets - On-demand chart rendering - Efficient state management

Testing Architecture¶

Comprehensive Test Infrastructure (200+ Test Methods)¶

The testing architecture includes comprehensive coverage for AI/ML systems with performance benchmarking and scalability validation.

    'concurrent_users_supported': 10        # 10+ simultaneous requests
}

Testing Patterns¶

Database Testing:

@pytest.fixture
def test_database():
    """Test database fixture with sample data"""
    # Setup test database
    # Insert sample data
    yield database
    # Cleanup

Service Testing:

def test_workout_summary_service(mock_database):
    """Test workout summary business logic"""
    service = WorkoutService(mock_database)
    result = service.get_monthly_summary("2024-01")
    assert result.total_workouts > 0

Deployment Architecture¶

Development Environment¶

Local Setup: - MySQL server running locally - Environment detection via OS - Development-specific configurations - Hot reload for rapid iteration

Production Environment¶

Cloud Deployment: - AWS RDS for MySQL database - Linux-based application server - Nginx reverse proxy - Systemd service management

Deployment Pipeline:

#!/bin/bash
# deploy.sh - Production deployment script

# Pull latest code
git pull origin main

# Install dependencies
poetry install --no-dev

# Database migrations (if any)
python scripts/migrate_db.py

# Restart services
sudo systemctl restart fitness-dashboard
sudo systemctl reload nginx

Error Handling Strategy¶

Exception Hierarchy¶

class FitnessAppError(Exception):
    """Base exception for fitness application"""
    pass

class DatabaseError(FitnessAppError):
    """Database-related errors"""
    pass

class ValidationError(FitnessAppError):
    """Data validation errors"""
    pass

class ConfigurationError(FitnessAppError):
    """Configuration-related errors"""
    pass

Error Recovery¶

Database Connection Issues: - Automatic retry with exponential backoff - Fallback to cached data when possible - Graceful degradation of features

Data Processing Errors: - Partial import recovery for CSV processing - Data validation with detailed error reporting - Rollback capabilities for failed operations

Future Architecture Considerations¶

Scalability Improvements¶

Microservices Evolution: - Separate API service for data access - Independent visualization service - Event-driven architecture for real-time updates

Caching Layer: - Redis for session and query caching - CDN integration for static assets - Database query result caching

Technology Upgrades¶

Database Evolution: - Consider PostgreSQL for advanced analytics - Time-series database for high-frequency data - Data warehouse integration for historical analysis

Frontend Modernization: - Progressive Web App capabilities - Real-time data streaming - Mobile-first responsive design
