# 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)
# Which Problems Are Solved
In Actions v2, if a target is removed, which is still used in an
execution, the target is still listed when list executions.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Removed targets are now also removed from the executions.
# Additional Changes
To be sure the list executions include a check if the target is still
existing.
# Additional Context
