**Architecture Pattern:** Service Layer with Dependency Injection

### 2. Core Persona Service
Handles the generation of the foundational persona that serves as the base for all platform adaptations.

**Key Responsibilities:**
- Analyzes onboarding data to create core persona
- Generates linguistic fingerprints and writing patterns
- Establishes tonal range and stylistic constraints
- Provides quality scoring and validation
- Serves as the foundation for platform-specific adaptations

**Architecture Pattern:** Domain Service with Data Transfer Objects

### 3. Platform-Specific Services

        return updated_persona
```

## 🚀 Performance and Scalability

### Caching Strategy

#### Multi-Level Caching
```python
class PersonaCacheManager:
    def __init__(self):
        self.redis_client = redis.Redis()
        self.memory_cache = {}
    
    async def get_persona(self, user_id, platform=None):
        # 1. Check memory cache
        cache_key = f"persona:{user_id}:{platform}"
        if cache_key in self.memory_cache:
            return self.memory_cache[cache_key]
        
        # 2. Check Redis cache
        cached_data = await self.redis_client.get(cache_key)
        if cached_data:
            persona_data = json.loads(cached_data)
            self.memory_cache[cache_key] = persona_data
            return persona_data
        
        # 3. Fetch from database
        persona_data = await self.fetch_from_database(user_id, platform)
        
        # 4. Cache the result
        await self.redis_client.setex(cache_key, 300, json.dumps(persona_data))
        self.memory_cache[cache_key] = persona_data
        
        return persona_data
```

### Database Optimization

#### Indexing Strategy
```sql
-- Performance indexes
CREATE INDEX idx_writing_personas_user_active ON writing_personas(user_id, is_active);
CREATE INDEX idx_platform_personas_persona_platform ON platform_personas(writing_persona_id, platform);
CREATE INDEX idx_analysis_results_persona_type ON persona_analysis_results(writing_persona_id, analysis_type);
CREATE INDEX idx_validation_results_persona_status ON persona_validation_results(writing_persona_id, validation_status);

-- Composite indexes for common queries
CREATE INDEX idx_personas_user_platform ON writing_personas(user_id) INCLUDE (id, persona_name, confidence_score);
CREATE INDEX idx_platform_personas_optimization ON platform_personas(platform, writing_persona_id) INCLUDE (optimization_strategies);
```
