# Which Problems Are Solved
The resource usage to query user(s) on the database was high and
therefore could have performance impact.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Database queries involving the users and loginnames table were improved
and an index was added for user by email query.
# Additional Changes
- spellchecks
- updated apis on load tests
# additional info
needs cherry pick to v3
# Which Problems Are Solved
If the `IMPROVED_PERFORMANCE_PROJECT` feature flag was enabled it was
not possible to remove organizations anymore because the project was
searched in the `eventstore.fields` table without resource owner.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Search now includes resource owner.
# Which Problems Are Solved
The output of the sql statement of tech advisory was unclear on how the
data should be compared
# How the Problems Are Solved
An additional column is added to the output to show the effective
difference of the old and new position.
# Which Problems Are Solved
If the sql statement of technical advisory 10016 gets executed on
cockroach the following error is raised:
```
ERROR: WITH clause "fixed" does not return any columns
SQLSTATE: 0A000
HINT: missing RETURNING clause?
```
# How the Problems Are Solved
Fixed the statement by adding `returning` to statement
# Which Problems Are Solved
if Zitadel was started using `start-from-init` or `start-from-setup`
there were rare cases where a panic occured when
`Notifications.LegacyEnabled` was set to false. The cause was a list
which was not reset before refilling.
# How the Problems Are Solved
The list is now reset before each time it gets filled.
# Additional Changes
Ensure all contexts are canceled for the init and setup functions for
`start-from-init- or `start-from-setup` commands.
# Additional Context
none
# Eventstore fixes
- `event.Position` used float64 before which can lead to [precision
loss](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/47300). The type got replaced
by [a type without precision
loss](https://github.com/jackc/pgx-shopspring-decimal)
- the handler reported the wrong error if the current state was updated
and therefore took longer to retry failed events.
# Mirror fixes
- max age of auth requests can be configured to speed up copying data
from `auth.auth_requests` table. Auth requests last updated before the
set age will be ignored. Default is 1 month
- notification projections are skipped because notifications should be
sent by the source system. The projections are set to the latest
position
- ensure that mirror can be executed multiple times

# Which Problems Are Solved
We saw high CPU usage if many events were created on the database. This
was caused by the new actions which query for all event types and
aggregate types.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- the handler of action execution does not filter for aggregate and
event types.
- the index for `instance_id` and `position` is reenabled.

- thanks to @zhirschtritt for raising this.
# Which Problems Are Solved
The `auth.auth_requests` table is not cleaned up so long running Zitadel
installations can contain many rows.
The mirror command can take long because a the data are first copied
into memory (or disk) on cockroach and users do not get any output from
mirror. This is unfortunate because people don't know if Zitadel got
stuck.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Enhance logging throughout the projection processes and introduce a
configuration option for the maximum age of authentication requests.

This pull request improves the scalability of the session API by
enhancing middleware tracing and refining SQL query behavior for user
authentication methods.
# Which Problems Are Solved
- Eventstore subscriptions locked each other during they wrote the
events to the event channels of the subscribers in push.
- `ListUserAuthMethodTypesRequired` query used `Bitmap heap scan` to
join the tables needed.
- The auth and oidc package triggered projections often when data were
read.
- The session API triggered the user projection each time a user was
searched to write the user check command.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- the `sync.Mutex` was replaced with `sync.RWMutex` to allow parallel
read of the map
- The query was refactored to use index scans only
- if the data should already be up-to-date `shouldTriggerBulk` is set to
false
- as the user should already exist for some time the trigger was
removed.
# Additional Changes

If configuration `notifications.LegacyEnabled` is set to false when
using cockroachdb as a database Zitadel start does not work and prints
the following error: `level=fatal msg="unable to start zitadel"
caller="github.com/zitadel/zitadel/cmd/start/start_from_init.go:44"

The combination of the setting and cockraochdb are checked and a better
error is provided to the user.

# Which Problems Are Solved
The recently introduced notification queue have potential race conditions.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Current code is refactored to use the queue package, which is safe in
regards of concurrency.
# Additional Changes

- improved code quality of queue

To integrate river as a task queue we need to ensure the migrations of
river are executed.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- A new schema was added to the Zitadel database called "queue"
- Added a repeatable setup step to Zitadel which executes the
[migrations of
river](https://riverqueue.com/docs/migrations#go-migration-api).
# Additional Changes
- Added more hooks to the databases to properly set the schema for the
task queue
# Additional Context
- Closes https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/9280
# Which Problems Are Solved
https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/pull/9186 introduced the new `push`
sql function for cockroachdb. The function used the wrong database
function to generate the position of the event and would therefore
insert events at a position before events created with an old Zitadel
version.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Instead of `EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM NOW())`, `cluster_logical_timestamp()` is
used to calculate the position of an event.
# Additional Context
- Introduced in https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/pull/9186
- Affected versions:
https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/releases/tag/v2.67.3
# Which Problems Are Solved
Zitadel currently uses 3 database pool, 1 for queries, 1 for pushing
events and 1 for scheduled projection updates. This defeats the purpose
of a connection pool which already handles multiple connections.
During load tests we found that the current structure of connection
pools consumes a lot of database resources. The resource usage dropped
after we reduced the amount of database pools to 1 because existing
connections can be used more efficiently.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Removed logic to handle multiple connection pools and use a single one.

# Which Problems Are Solved
In versions previous to v2.66 it was possible to set a different
resource owner on project grants. This was introduced with the new
resource based API. The resource owner was possible to overwrite using
the x-zitadel-org header.
Because of this issue project grants got the wrong resource owner,
instead of the owner of the project it got the granted org which is
wrong because a resource owner of an aggregate is not allowed to change.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- The wrong owners of the events are set to the original owner of the
project.
- A new event is pushed to these aggregates `project.owner.corrected`
- The projection updates the owners of the user grants if that event was
written
# Additional Changes
The eventstore push function (replaced in version 2.66) writes the
correct resource owner.

# Which Problems Are Solved
On Zitadel cloud we found changing the order of columns in the
`eventstore.events2_current_sequence` index improved CPU usage for the
`SELECT ... FOR UPDATE` query the pusher executes.
# How the Problems Are Solved
`eventstore.events2_current_sequence`-index got replaced
# Additional Context
closes https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/9082
# Which Problems Are Solved
get instance by domain cannot provide an instance id because it is not
known at that time. This causes a full table scan on the fields table
because current indexes always include the `instance_id` column.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Added a specific index for this query.
# Additional Context
If a system has many fields and there is no cache hit for the given
domain this query can heaviuly influence database CPU usage, the newly
added resolves this problem.
# Which Problems Are Solved
setup step 41 cannot handle downgrades at the moment. This step writes
the instance domain to the fields table. If there are new instances
created during the downgraded version is running there would be domain
missing in the fields afterwards.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Make step 41 repeatable for each version
