# Which Problems Are Solved
We were seeing high query costs in a the lateral join executed in the
commands_to_events procedural function in the database. The high cost
resulted in incremental CPU usage as a load test continued and less
req/sec handled, sarting at 836 and ending at 130 req/sec.
# How the Problems Are Solved
1. Set `PARALLEL SAFE`. I noticed that this option defaults to `UNSAFE`.
But it's actually safe if the function doesn't `INSERT`
2. Set the returned `ROWS 10` parameter.
3. Function is re-written in Pl/PgSQL so that we eliminate expensive
joins.
4. Introduced an intermediate state that does `SELECT DISTINCT` for the
aggregate so that we don't have to do an expensive lateral join.
# Additional Changes
Use a `COALESCE` to get the owner from the last event, instead of a
`CASE` switch.
# Additional Context
- Function was introduced in
https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/pull/8816
- Closes https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/8352

# Which Problems Are Solved
If many events are written to the same aggregate id it can happen that
zitadel [starts to retry the push
transaction](48ffc902cc/internal/eventstore/eventstore.go (L101))
because [the locking
behaviour](48ffc902cc/internal/eventstore/v3/sequence.go (L25))
during push does compute the wrong sequence because newly committed
events are not visible to the transaction. These events impact the
current sequence.
In cases with high command traffic on a single aggregate id this can
have severe impact on general performance of zitadel. Because many
connections of the `eventstore pusher` database pool are blocked by each
other.
# How the Problems Are Solved
To improve the performance this locking mechanism was removed and the
business logic of push is moved to sql functions which reduce network
traffic and can be analyzed by the database before the actual push. For
clients of the eventstore framework nothing changed.
# Additional Changes
- after a connection is established prefetches the newly added database
types
- `eventstore.BaseEvent` now returns the correct revision of the event
