Pounce - Progress

What Works

• ✅ FastAPI backend + Next.js frontend (Terminal + public pages)
• ✅ Cookie-based auth (HttpOnly) + OAuth
• ✅ Market feed + auctions + listings + TLD intel
• ✅ Watchlist + cached health checks (bulk + per-domain cache-first)
• ✅ Separate scheduler process (avoid duplicate jobs with multiple API workers)
• ✅ Redis-backed job queue scaffolding (ARQ worker) + admin scraping enqueue
• ✅ Prometheus metrics endpoint (/metrics)
• ✅ Business KPI metrics derived from telemetry (cached)
• ✅ Server-side DB backups + ops alerting (email) without Docker
• ✅ SEO baseline: dynamic sitemap + canonical redirects + server-side metadata for programmatic pages
• ✅ Viral loop baseline: invite codes + attribution + referral KPIs in Admin (Telemetry tab) + deterministic referral rewards/badges
• ✅ Load test scaffolding (loadtest/k6)

What's Left

• ⏳ Decide production stance on email verification (recommend: enforce via REQUIRE_EMAIL_VERIFICATION=true)
• ⏳ Production observability rollout (optional dashboards; alerts can be in-app via ops alerting)
• ⏳ Optional: migrate periodic background jobs from APScheduler → queue/worker for scaling

Next (Unicorn Plan)

• ▶️ 3A Programmatic SEO maximal (Templates + Indexation + CTA Pfade) — in progress
• ▶️ 3C Viral Loop (Referral sauber am Yield/Direct Deal Surface) — in progress

Current Issues

• None known - awaiting first test run

Performance Notes

• WHOIS queries are inherently slow (external I/O): expect ~1–3s/domain
• DB hotspots were reduced (market feed bounded queries, N+1 removed in price tracking/admin)
• Use /metrics + loadtest/k6 to track p95 after deployments
