# Which Problems Are Solved
The event execution system currently uses a projection handler that
subscribes to and processes all events for all instances. This creates a
high static cost because the system over-fetches event data, handling
many events that are not needed by most instances. This inefficiency is
also reflected in high "rows returned" metrics in the database.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Eliminate the use of a project handler. Instead, events for which
"execution targets" are defined, are directly pushed to the queue by the
eventstore. A Router is populated in the Instance object in the authz
middleware.
- By joining the execution targets to the instance, no additional
queries are needed anymore.
- As part of the instance object, execution targets are now cached as
well.
- Events are queued within the same transaction, giving transactional
guarantees on delivery.
- Uses the "insert many fast` variant of River. Multiple jobs are queued
in a single round-trip to the database.
- Fix compatibility with PostgreSQL 15
# Additional Changes
- The signing key was stored as plain-text in the river job payload in
the DB. This violated our [Secrets
Storage](https://zitadel.com/docs/concepts/architecture/secrets#secrets-storage)
principle. This change removed the field and only uses the encrypted
version of the signing key.
- Fixed the target ordering from descending to ascending.
- Some minor linter warnings on the use of `io.WriteString()`.

(cherry picked from commit a9ebc06c77)
Removes manual schema and application name setup via raw SQL and
switches to using River’s built-in schema configuration.
# Which Problems Are Solved
River provides a configuration flag to set the schema of the queue.
Zitadel sets the schema through database statements which is not needed
anymore.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Set the schema in the river configuration and removed old code
(cherry picked from commit b5f97d64b0)
# 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
- the queue is included in startup
- improved code quality of queue
# Additional Context
- closes https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/9278
