Summary

This issue is about enhancing our current system architecture and database design. We need to consider a few factors for improvement including the decoupling of databases, transaction handling, database schema changes, task & evaluation workflow integration, and using dependency injection for databases.

Description

We currently use three databases:

1. AutomataAgentTaskDatabase - tracks all tasks.
2. OpenAIAutomataConversationDatabase - stores all interactions for a session.
3. EvalResultWriter - records evaluation results.

These databases are connected using a common session_id.

Tasks

• Decouple Databases: Investigate if the databases need to be decoupled into separate services to avoid potential bottlenecks or single points of failure and to allow each service to scale independently.

• Transactions and Consistency: Implement mechanisms for handling transactions across databases and consider the level of consistency required between them.

• Database Schema Changes: Plan for potential database schema changes that could include adding new fields, changing data types, or restructuring databases.

• Task & Evaluation Workflow Integration: Ensure smooth integration of the task-oriented workflow with the evaluation harness. Consider using event-driven architecture or a job queue.

• Dependency Injection for Databases: Make code more flexible and testable by using dependency injection for databases, as noted in the OpenAIAutomataConversationDatabase class.

• Unit Testing and Mocking: Continue focusing on unit tests for individual components and use mocking to isolate dependencies. Ensure coverage of edge cases and expected workflows.

• Data Backup and Recovery: Define a strategy for backing up data and recovering from data loss or corruption. Consider replication if the data is critical.

Acceptance Criteria

• The system is enhanced based on the tasks defined above.
• All changes have comprehensive unit test coverage.
• The application functions as expected and all existing functionality is unaffected by these changes.
