Implemented all 5 critical efficiency improvements to optimize
performance, reduce resource usage, and improve scalability.
## 1. Database Indexes
- Added indexes on sermon_notes foreign keys (user_id, sermon_id)
- Added composite index on sermons (archived, date DESC)
- Added indexes on frequently queried columns across all tables
- Impact: Faster queries as data grows, better JOIN performance
## 2. Eliminated N+1 Query Pattern
- Reduced 2 API calls to 1 on home page load
- Changed from separate active/archived fetches to single call
- Filter archived sermons client-side using computed properties
- Impact: 50% reduction in HTTP requests per page load
## 3. Scheduled Database Cleanup
- Extended existing plugin to clean expired sessions hourly
- Added cleanup for expired rate limits every hour
- Added cleanup for expired password reset codes every hour
- Sermon cleanup continues to run daily based on retention policy
- Impact: Prevents database table growth, better performance
## 4. Multi-stage Docker Build
- Implemented 3-stage build: deps -> builder -> runtime
- Separated build-time and runtime dependencies
- Added non-root user (nuxt:nodejs) for security
- Integrated dumb-init for proper signal handling
- Added health check endpoint at /api/health
- Impact: Smaller image size, faster deployments, better security
## 5. HTTP Caching
- Static assets: 1 year cache (immutable)
- Logos/images: 1 year cache (immutable)
- API routes: No cache (always fresh)
- HTML pages: 10 minute cache with revalidation
- Impact: Reduced bandwidth, faster page loads, less server load
All optimizations follow best practices and maintain backward
compatibility with existing functionality.

Implemented a configurable retention policy system for sermons with automatic cleanup:
- Added settings table to store retention policy configuration
- Created API endpoints for getting/setting retention policy
- Added Database Settings section to admin page with retention options (forever, 1-10 years)
- Implemented manual cleanup endpoint for on-demand deletion
- Added automated daily cleanup task via Nitro plugin
- Sermons are deleted based on their date field according to the retention policy
