## Executive Summary
### Overview
This document specifies an enterprise-grade connection pooling and dataset management system for the BigQuery MCP server, designed to optimize resource utilization, ensure high availability, and provide predictable performance at scale.
### Key Objectives
- **Resource Efficiency**: Minimize BigQuery API calls and connection overhead
- **High Availability**: 99.95% uptime through intelligent failover and health checks
- **Performance**: <100ms pool acquisition time, <500ms metadata cache hit
- **Scalability**: Support 100+ concurrent datasets with 1000+ queries/second
- **Cost Optimization**: Reduce BigQuery API costs by 60% through intelligent caching
### Design Principles
1. **Fail-Fast Philosophy**: Early detection and rapid recovery
2. **Graceful Degradation**: Maintain partial functionality during failures
3. **Observable by Default**: Built-in metrics, logging, and tracing
4. **Configuration-Driven**: Environment-based configuration with sane defaults
5. **Resource-Aware**: Adaptive pool sizing based on system resources

## Connection Pool Design
### Pool Architecture
#### Multi-Level Pooling Strategy
```typescript
interface PoolHierarchy {
global: {
// Global pool manager (singleton)
maxTotalConnections: number;
maxProjectPools: number;
globalRateLimiter: RateLimiter;
};
project: {
// Per-project pools
projectId: string;
maxDatasetPools: number;
maxConnectionsPerProject: number;
projectRateLimiter: RateLimiter;
};
dataset: {
// Per-dataset pools (finest granularity)
datasetId: string;
minConnections: number;
maxConnections: number;
activeConnections: number;
idleConnections: number;
};
}
```
### Pool Configuration Matrix
| Environment | Min Conn/Dataset | Max Conn/Dataset | Max Datasets | Total Max Conn | Idle Timeout |
|-------------|------------------|------------------|--------------|----------------|--------------|
| Development | 1 | 5 | 10 | 50 | 2 min |
| Staging | 2 | 10 | 50 | 200 | 5 min |
| Production | 2 | 20 | 100 | 500 | 5 min |
| Enterprise | 5 | 50 | 500 | 2000 | 10 min |
### Pool Lifecycle Management
#### 1. Pool Initialization
```typescript
class ConnectionPool {
async initialize(config: PoolConfig): Promise<void> {
// Phase 1: Validate configuration
this.validateConfig(config);
// Phase 2: Pre-warm minimum connections
await this.warmupConnections(config.minConnections);
// Phase 3: Start health monitoring
this.startHealthMonitor(config.healthCheckInterval);
// Phase 4: Register metrics collectors
this.registerMetricsCollectors();
// Phase 5: Enable circuit breaker
this.enableCircuitBreaker(config.circuitBreakerConfig);
this.state = PoolState.READY;
this.emit('pool:initialized', { poolId: this.id, config });
}
private async warmupConnections(count: number): Promise<void> {
const warmupPromises = Array(count)
.fill(null)
.map(() => this.createConnection());
const results = await Promise.allSettled(warmupPromises);
const failed = results.filter(r => r.status === 'rejected');
if (failed.length > count * 0.5) {
throw new PoolInitializationError(
`Failed to warm up pool: ${failed.length}/${count} connections failed`
);
}
}
}
```
#### 2. Connection Acquisition
```typescript
interface AcquisitionOptions {
timeout?: number; // Max wait time (default: 5000ms)
priority?: Priority; // HIGH, NORMAL, LOW
retryPolicy?: RetryPolicy; // Retry configuration
tags?: Record<string, string>; // For tracing
}
class ConnectionPool {
async acquire(options: AcquisitionOptions = {}): Promise<PooledConnection> {
const startTime = Date.now();
const timeout = options.timeout ?? this.config.acquisitionTimeout;
// Step 1: Check circuit breaker
if (this.circuitBreaker.isOpen()) {
throw new CircuitBreakerOpenError('Pool circuit breaker is open');
}
// Step 2: Try to get idle connection
let connection = await this.getIdleConnection(options.priority);
// Step 3: If no idle connection and under max limit, create new
if (!connection && this.canCreateConnection()) {
connection = await this.createConnection();
}
// Step 4: If still no connection, wait with timeout
if (!connection) {
connection = await this.waitForConnection(timeout - (Date.now() - startTime));
}
// Step 5: Validate connection health
const isHealthy = await this.validateConnection(connection);
if (!isHealthy) {
await this.removeConnection(connection);
return this.acquire(options); // Recursive retry
}
// Step 6: Mark as active and return
this.markActive(connection);
this.metrics.recordAcquisition(Date.now() - startTime);
return connection;
}
private async getIdleConnection(priority: Priority): Promise<PooledConnection | null> {
// Priority-based selection from idle queue
if (priority === Priority.HIGH && this.idleQueue.length > 0) {
return this.idleQueue.shift()!; // FIFO for high priority
}
// Least recently used for normal priority
return this.idleQueue.pop() ?? null;
}
private async waitForConnection(timeout: number): Promise<PooledConnection> {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const timer = setTimeout(() => {
this.waitQueue.delete(waiter);
reject(new AcquisitionTimeoutError(`Timeout after ${timeout}ms`));
}, timeout);
const waiter = { resolve, reject, timer };
this.waitQueue.add(waiter);
});
}
}
```
#### 3. Connection Release
```typescript
class ConnectionPool {
async release(connection: PooledConnection): Promise<void> {
// Step 1: Validate connection state
if (!this.activeConnections.has(connection.id)) {
throw new InvalidConnectionError('Connection not from this pool');
}
// Step 2: Reset connection state
await this.resetConnection(connection);
// Step 3: Update metrics
this.metrics.recordRelease(connection.activeTime);
// Step 4: Check if pool is oversized
if (this.shouldEvict(connection)) {
await this.removeConnection(connection);
return;
}
// Step 5: Return to idle pool or serve waiting request
if (this.waitQueue.size > 0) {
const waiter = this.waitQueue.values().next().value;
this.waitQueue.delete(waiter);
clearTimeout(waiter.timer);
waiter.resolve(connection);
} else {
this.idleQueue.push(connection);
connection.lastUsedTime = Date.now();
}
}
private shouldEvict(connection: PooledConnection): boolean {
// Evict if idle connections exceed min and this is old
const idleCount = this.idleQueue.length;
const minConnections = this.config.minConnections;
if (idleCount < minConnections) {
return false;
}
const age = Date.now() - connection.createdTime;
const maxAge = this.config.maxConnectionAge ?? Infinity;
return age > maxAge || connection.errorCount > this.config.maxErrors;
}
}
```
### Health Check System
#### Active Health Checks
```typescript
interface HealthCheckConfig {
interval: number; // Check interval (default: 30s)
timeout: number; // Check timeout (default: 5s)
unhealthyThreshold: number; // Failures before marking unhealthy (default: 3)
healthyThreshold: number; // Successes before marking healthy (default: 2)
}
class HealthMonitor {
private async performHealthCheck(connection: PooledConnection): Promise<boolean> {
const startTime = Date.now();
try {
// Lightweight BigQuery query to verify connection
await connection.client.query({
query: 'SELECT 1 as health_check',
useLegacySql: false,
timeoutMs: this.config.timeout,
maxResults: 1
});
connection.consecutiveFailures = 0;
connection.lastHealthCheckTime = Date.now();
connection.lastHealthCheckDuration = Date.now() - startTime;
return true;
} catch (error) {
connection.consecutiveFailures++;
connection.lastHealthCheckError = error;
this.logger.warn('Health check failed', {
connectionId: connection.id,
failures: connection.consecutiveFailures,
error: error.message
});
return connection.consecutiveFailures < this.config.unhealthyThreshold;
}
}
async startHealthChecks(): Promise<void> {
this.healthCheckInterval = setInterval(async () => {
const connections = [...this.pool.idleConnections, ...this.pool.activeConnections];
const checks = connections.map(async (conn) => {
const isHealthy = await this.performHealthCheck(conn);
if (!isHealthy) {
await this.pool.removeConnection(conn);
this.metrics.recordUnhealthyConnection(conn.id);
// Trigger pool replenishment if below minimum
if (this.pool.size < this.config.minConnections) {
await this.pool.createConnection();
}
}
});
await Promise.allSettled(checks);
}, this.config.interval);
}
}
```
#### Passive Health Checks
```typescript
class PassiveHealthMonitor {
onQueryError(connection: PooledConnection, error: Error): void {
// Categorize error severity
const severity = this.categorizeError(error);
switch (severity) {
case ErrorSeverity.FATAL:
// Immediately remove connection
this.pool.removeConnection(connection);
this.circuitBreaker.recordFailure();
break;
case ErrorSeverity.TRANSIENT:
// Increment error count, may evict later
connection.errorCount++;
if (connection.errorCount > this.config.maxTransientErrors) {
this.pool.removeConnection(connection);
}
break;
case ErrorSeverity.BENIGN:
// Log but don't take action
this.logger.debug('Benign error', { error: error.message });
break;
}
}
private categorizeError(error: Error): ErrorSeverity {
// Network errors, authentication failures -> FATAL
if (this.isFatalError(error)) {
return ErrorSeverity.FATAL;
}
// Rate limiting, temporary unavailability -> TRANSIENT
if (this.isTransientError(error)) {
return ErrorSeverity.TRANSIENT;
}
// Query syntax errors, permission issues -> BENIGN (client error)
return ErrorSeverity.BENIGN;
}
}
```
### Circuit Breaker
```typescript
enum CircuitState {
CLOSED = 'CLOSED', // Normal operation
OPEN = 'OPEN', // Failing, reject requests
HALF_OPEN = 'HALF_OPEN' // Testing recovery
}
class CircuitBreaker {
private state: CircuitState = CircuitState.CLOSED;
private failureCount: number = 0;
private successCount: number = 0;
private lastStateChange: number = Date.now();
recordFailure(): void {
this.failureCount++;
if (this.state === CircuitState.HALF_OPEN) {
// Any failure in half-open -> back to open
this.transitionTo(CircuitState.OPEN);
} else if (this.failureCount >= this.config.failureThreshold) {
this.transitionTo(CircuitState.OPEN);
}
}
recordSuccess(): void {
this.successCount++;
if (this.state === CircuitState.HALF_OPEN
&& this.successCount >= this.config.successThreshold) {
this.transitionTo(CircuitState.CLOSED);
this.failureCount = 0;
}
}
isOpen(): boolean {
if (this.state === CircuitState.OPEN) {
// Check if timeout elapsed to try half-open
const timeSinceOpen = Date.now() - this.lastStateChange;
if (timeSinceOpen >= this.config.timeout) {
this.transitionTo(CircuitState.HALF_OPEN);
return false;
}
return true;
}
return false;
}
private transitionTo(newState: CircuitState): void {
const oldState = this.state;
this.state = newState;
this.lastStateChange = Date.now();
this.successCount = 0;
this.logger.info('Circuit breaker state transition', {
from: oldState,
to: newState,
failureCount: this.failureCount
});
this.metrics.recordStateTransition(oldState, newState);
}
}
```

## Dataset Manager
### Dataset Registry Architecture
```typescript
interface DatasetMetadata {
// Identity
projectId: string;
datasetId: string;
location: string;
// Metadata
description?: string;
labels?: Record<string, string>;
creationTime: number;
lastModifiedTime: number;
// Schema
tables: TableMetadata[];
schemaVersion: string;
// Caching
cachedAt: number;
ttl: number;
cacheHits: number;
cacheMisses: number;
// Access patterns
queryCount: number;
lastAccessTime: number;
averageQueryDuration: number;
// Health
isHealthy: boolean;
lastHealthCheck: number;
}
class DatasetManager {
private registry: Map<string, DatasetMetadata> = new Map();
private cache: LRUCache<string, DatasetMetadata>;
private discoveryService: DatasetDiscoveryService;
constructor(config: DatasetManagerConfig) {
this.cache = new LRUCache({
max: config.maxCachedDatasets,
ttl: config.defaultTTL,
updateAgeOnGet: true,
updateAgeOnHas: false,
dispose: (key, value) => this.onCacheEviction(key, value)
});
this.discoveryService = new DatasetDiscoveryService(config.discovery);
}
}
```
### Metadata Caching Strategy
#### Multi-Tier Caching
```typescript
class MetadataCache {
// L1 Cache: In-memory LRU (hot data)
private l1Cache: LRUCache<string, DatasetMetadata>;
// L2 Cache: Shared memory (warm data)
private l2Cache: SharedMemoryCache<string, DatasetMetadata>;
// L3 Cache: Persistent storage (cold data)
private l3Cache: PersistentCache<string, DatasetMetadata>;
async get(key: string): Promise<DatasetMetadata | null> {
// Try L1 (in-memory, fastest)
let metadata = this.l1Cache.get(key);
if (metadata) {
this.metrics.recordCacheHit('L1');
return metadata;
}
// Try L2 (shared memory, fast)
metadata = await this.l2Cache.get(key);
if (metadata && !this.isExpired(metadata)) {
this.l1Cache.set(key, metadata); // Promote to L1
this.metrics.recordCacheHit('L2');
return metadata;
}
// Try L3 (persistent, slower)
metadata = await this.l3Cache.get(key);
if (metadata && !this.isExpired(metadata)) {
this.l2Cache.set(key, metadata); // Promote to L2
this.l1Cache.set(key, metadata); // Promote to L1
this.metrics.recordCacheHit('L3');
return metadata;
}
// Cache miss - fetch from BigQuery
this.metrics.recordCacheMiss();
return null;
}
async set(key: string, metadata: DatasetMetadata): Promise<void> {
// Write to all tiers (write-through)
await Promise.all([
this.l1Cache.set(key, metadata),
this.l2Cache.set(key, metadata),
this.l3Cache.set(key, metadata)
]);
}
private isExpired(metadata: DatasetMetadata): boolean {
const age = Date.now() - metadata.cachedAt;
return age > metadata.ttl;
}
}
```
#### Cache Invalidation
```typescript
enum InvalidationStrategy {
TTL_BASED = 'TTL_BASED', // Time-to-live expiration
EVENT_BASED = 'EVENT_BASED', // Invalidate on schema changes
LAZY_REFRESH = 'LAZY_REFRESH', // Refresh on access if stale
PROACTIVE_REFRESH = 'PROACTIVE_REFRESH' // Background refresh before expiry
}
class CacheInvalidator {
async invalidate(key: string, strategy: InvalidationStrategy): Promise<void> {
switch (strategy) {
case InvalidationStrategy.TTL_BASED:
// Simply let TTL handle it
break;
case InvalidationStrategy.EVENT_BASED:
// Immediate invalidation
await this.cache.delete(key);
this.logger.info('Cache invalidated (event-based)', { key });
break;
case InvalidationStrategy.LAZY_REFRESH:
// Mark as stale but keep for fallback
const metadata = await this.cache.get(key);
if (metadata) {
metadata.isStale = true;
await this.cache.set(key, metadata);
}
break;
case InvalidationStrategy.PROACTIVE_REFRESH:
// Refresh in background before expiry
this.scheduleProactiveRefresh(key);
break;
}
}
private scheduleProactiveRefresh(key: string): void {
const metadata = this.cache.get(key);
if (!metadata) return;
const timeUntilExpiry = metadata.ttl - (Date.now() - metadata.cachedAt);
const refreshTime = timeUntilExpiry * 0.75; // Refresh at 75% of TTL
setTimeout(async () => {
const fresh = await this.datasetManager.fetchMetadata(key);
await this.cache.set(key, fresh);
this.logger.debug('Proactive cache refresh', { key });
}, refreshTime);
}
}
```
### Dataset Discovery
```typescript
class DatasetDiscoveryService {
private discoveredDatasets: Set<string> = new Set();
private discoveryQueue: PriorityQueue<DiscoveryTask>;
async discoverDatasets(projectId: string): Promise<DatasetMetadata[]> {
// Step 1: Check if already discovered recently
const cacheKey = `discovery:${projectId}`;
const cached = await this.cache.get(cacheKey);
if (cached) {
return cached;
}
// Step 2: Fetch from BigQuery API
const datasets = await this.fetchDatasetsFromBigQuery(projectId);
// Step 3: Enrich with metadata (parallel)
const enriched = await Promise.all(
datasets.map(ds => this.enrichDatasetMetadata(ds))
);
// Step 4: Register discovered datasets
enriched.forEach(ds => {
this.datasetManager.registerDataset(ds);
this.discoveredDatasets.add(ds.datasetId);
});
// Step 5: Cache discovery results
await this.cache.set(cacheKey, enriched, { ttl: 3600000 }); // 1 hour
return enriched;
}
private async enrichDatasetMetadata(dataset: Dataset): Promise<DatasetMetadata> {
const [tables, labels] = await Promise.all([
this.fetchTables(dataset.projectId, dataset.datasetId),
this.fetchLabels(dataset.projectId, dataset.datasetId)
]);
return {
...dataset,
tables,
labels,
cachedAt: Date.now(),
ttl: this.calculateOptimalTTL(dataset),
isHealthy: true,
lastHealthCheck: Date.now()
};
}
private calculateOptimalTTL(dataset: DatasetMetadata): number {
// Dynamic TTL based on change frequency
const changeFrequency = this.estimateChangeFrequency(dataset);
if (changeFrequency === 'HIGH') {
return 5 * 60 * 1000; // 5 minutes
} else if (changeFrequency === 'MEDIUM') {
return 30 * 60 * 1000; // 30 minutes
} else {
return 3600 * 1000; // 1 hour
}
}
}
```
### Connection Reuse Optimization
```typescript
class ConnectionAllocator {
// Strategy pattern for connection selection
private strategies: Map<string, AllocationStrategy> = new Map([
['round-robin', new RoundRobinStrategy()],
['least-connections', new LeastConnectionsStrategy()],
['weighted', new WeightedStrategy()],
['locality-aware', new LocalityAwareStrategy()]
]);
selectConnection(
dataset: DatasetMetadata,
strategy: string = 'least-connections'
): PooledConnection {
const allocStrategy = this.strategies.get(strategy);
if (!allocStrategy) {
throw new Error(`Unknown allocation strategy: ${strategy}`);
}
const pool = this.poolManager.getPoolForDataset(dataset);
return allocStrategy.select(pool, dataset);
}
}
class LeastConnectionsStrategy implements AllocationStrategy {
select(pool: ConnectionPool, dataset: DatasetMetadata): PooledConnection {
// Select connection with fewest active queries
const connections = pool.getAvailableConnections();
return connections.reduce((least, current) => {
return current.activeQueries < least.activeQueries ? current : least;
});
}
}
class LocalityAwareStrategy implements AllocationStrategy {
select(pool: ConnectionPool, dataset: DatasetMetadata): PooledConnection {
// Prefer connections in same region as dataset
const connections = pool.getAvailableConnections();
const local = connections.filter(c => c.location === dataset.location);
if (local.length > 0) {
return this.selectLeastLoaded(local);
}
// Fallback to any available connection
return this.selectLeastLoaded(connections);
}
private selectLeastLoaded(connections: PooledConnection[]): PooledConnection {
return connections.reduce((least, current) => {
return current.activeQueries < least.activeQueries ? current : least;
});
}
}
```

## Performance Optimization
### Query Optimization
```typescript
class QueryOptimizer {
async optimizeQuery(query: string, dataset: DatasetMetadata): Promise<OptimizedQuery> {
// Step 1: Analyze query patterns
const analysis = this.analyzeQuery(query);
// Step 2: Check if query can be cached
if (this.isCacheable(analysis)) {
const cached = await this.queryCache.get(this.generateCacheKey(query));
if (cached) {
return { ...cached, fromCache: true };
}
}
// Step 3: Optimize query structure
const optimized = this.applyOptimizations(query, analysis, dataset);
// Step 4: Select optimal connection
const connection = this.selectOptimalConnection(dataset, analysis);
return {
query: optimized,
connection,
estimatedCost: this.estimateQueryCost(optimized, dataset)
};
}
private applyOptimizations(
query: string,
analysis: QueryAnalysis,
dataset: DatasetMetadata
): string {
let optimized = query;
// Add LIMIT if missing for large result sets
if (!analysis.hasLimit && analysis.estimatedRows > 10000) {
optimized += ' LIMIT 10000';
}
// Use partition pruning hints if applicable
if (dataset.isPartitioned && analysis.canPrunePartitions) {
optimized = this.addPartitionPruning(optimized, dataset);
}
// Enable query caching for expensive queries
if (analysis.estimatedCost > 1000) {
optimized = `/* @cache */ ${optimized}`;
}
return optimized;
}
}
```
### Connection Pooling Metrics
```typescript
interface PoolMetrics {
// Connection metrics
totalConnections: number;
activeConnections: number;
idleConnections: number;
waitingRequests: number;
// Performance metrics
avgAcquisitionTime: number;
p95AcquisitionTime: number;
p99AcquisitionTime: number;
avgQueryDuration: number;
// Health metrics
healthCheckSuccess: number;
healthCheckFailure: number;
circuitBreakerTrips: number;
// Cache metrics
cacheHitRate: number;
avgCacheHitTime: number;
cacheMissRate: number;
// Error metrics
connectionErrors: number;
queryErrors: number;
timeouts: number;
}
class MetricsCollector {
private metrics: PoolMetrics;
private histogram: Histogram;
recordAcquisition(duration: number): void {
this.histogram.observe('acquisition_time', duration);
this.updateMovingAverage('avgAcquisitionTime', duration);
}
recordQueryExecution(duration: number): void {
this.histogram.observe('query_duration', duration);
this.updateMovingAverage('avgQueryDuration', duration);
}
getMetrics(): PoolMetrics {
return {
...this.metrics,
p95AcquisitionTime: this.histogram.percentile('acquisition_time', 0.95),
p99AcquisitionTime: this.histogram.percentile('acquisition_time', 0.99),
cacheHitRate: this.calculateCacheHitRate()
};
}
private calculateCacheHitRate(): number {
const total = this.metrics.cacheHitRate + this.metrics.cacheMissRate;
return total > 0 ? this.metrics.cacheHitRate / total : 0;
}
}
```

## Reliability & Resilience
### Retry Policies
```typescript
interface RetryPolicy {
maxAttempts: number;
initialDelay: number;
maxDelay: number;
backoffMultiplier: number;
retryableErrors: Set<ErrorCode>;
}
class RetryManager {
async executeWithRetry<T>(
operation: () => Promise<T>,
policy: RetryPolicy
): Promise<T> {
let lastError: Error;
let delay = policy.initialDelay;
for (let attempt = 1; attempt <= policy.maxAttempts; attempt++) {
try {
return await operation();
} catch (error) {
lastError = error;
// Check if error is retryable
if (!this.isRetryable(error, policy)) {
throw error;
}
// Last attempt - throw error
if (attempt === policy.maxAttempts) {
throw new MaxRetriesExceededError(
`Failed after ${attempt} attempts`,
lastError
);
}
// Wait before retry with exponential backoff
await this.sleep(delay);
delay = Math.min(delay * policy.backoffMultiplier, policy.maxDelay);
this.logger.debug('Retrying operation', {
attempt,
delay,
error: error.message
});
}
}
throw lastError!;
}
private isRetryable(error: Error, policy: RetryPolicy): boolean {
return policy.retryableErrors.has(this.getErrorCode(error));
}
}
```
### Graceful Degradation
```typescript
class GracefulDegradationManager {
async executeWithFallback<T>(
primary: () => Promise<T>,
fallback: () => Promise<T>,
options: DegradationOptions = {}
): Promise<T> {
const timeout = options.timeout ?? 5000;
try {
// Try primary operation with timeout
return await Promise.race([
primary(),
this.timeoutPromise(timeout)
]);
} catch (error) {
this.logger.warn('Primary operation failed, using fallback', {
error: error.message
});
// Record degradation event
this.metrics.recordDegradation();
// Execute fallback
return await fallback();
}
}
// Example: Fallback to stale cache if fresh data unavailable
async getDatasetMetadata(datasetId: string): Promise<DatasetMetadata> {
return this.executeWithFallback(
// Primary: Fetch fresh metadata
() => this.fetchFreshMetadata(datasetId),
// Fallback: Return stale cached metadata
() => this.getCachedMetadata(datasetId, { allowStale: true })
);
}
}
```

## Monitoring & Observability
### Logging Strategy
```typescript
interface LogContext {
poolId?: string;
connectionId?: string;
datasetId?: string;
queryId?: string;
userId?: string;
requestId?: string;
}
class StructuredLogger {
debug(message: string, context: LogContext = {}): void {
this.log('debug', message, context);
}
info(message: string, context: LogContext = {}): void {
this.log('info', message, context);
}
warn(message: string, context: LogContext = {}): void {
this.log('warn', message, context);
}
error(message: string, error: Error, context: LogContext = {}): void {
this.log('error', message, {
...context,
error: {
message: error.message,
stack: error.stack,
code: (error as any).code
}
});
}
private log(level: string, message: string, context: LogContext): void {
const logEntry = {
timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
level,
message,
...context,
service: 'bigquery-mcp',
version: this.version
};
console.log(JSON.stringify(logEntry));
}
}
```
### Metrics Export
```typescript
class MetricsExporter {
async exportMetrics(): Promise<void> {
const metrics = this.collectMetrics();
// Export to multiple backends
await Promise.all([
this.exportToPrometheus(metrics),
this.exportToCloudMonitoring(metrics),
this.exportToDatadog(metrics)
]);
}
private async exportToPrometheus(metrics: PoolMetrics): Promise<void> {
// Prometheus format
const promMetrics = [
`pool_connections_total ${metrics.totalConnections}`,
`pool_connections_active ${metrics.activeConnections}`,
`pool_connections_idle ${metrics.idleConnections}`,
`pool_acquisition_seconds_avg ${metrics.avgAcquisitionTime / 1000}`,
`pool_cache_hit_rate ${metrics.cacheHitRate}`
].join('\n');
// Expose via HTTP endpoint
this.prometheusRegistry.registerMetrics(promMetrics);
}
}
```
### Distributed Tracing
```typescript
import { trace, context, SpanStatusCode } from '@opentelemetry/api';
class TracingManager {
async traceOperation<T>(
operationName: string,
operation: () => Promise<T>,
attributes: Record<string, any> = {}
): Promise<T> {
const tracer = trace.getTracer('bigquery-mcp');
const span = tracer.startSpan(operationName);
// Add attributes
Object.entries(attributes).forEach(([key, value]) => {
span.setAttribute(key, value);
});
try {
const result = await context.with(trace.setSpan(context.active(), span), operation);
span.setStatus({ code: SpanStatusCode.OK });
return result;
} catch (error) {
span.setStatus({
code: SpanStatusCode.ERROR,
message: error.message
});
span.recordException(error);
throw error;
} finally {
span.end();
}
}
}
```
