### Data Flow
**Worker Creation Flow:**
1. HTTP POST → REST API Handler
2. JSON Deserialization → Worker Model
3. Repository `create()` → Database INSERT
4. Search Engine `index_worker()` → Tantivy Index
5. Event Publisher → WorkerCreated Event
6. Audit Logger → audit_log INSERT
7. HTTP Response → Client
**Worker Search Flow:**
1. HTTP GET → REST API Handler
2. Search Engine `search()` → Tantivy Query
3. Worker IDs → Repository `get_by_id()` batch
4. Worker Records → JSON Serialization
5. HTTP Response → Client

### Kubernetes (Future)
Helm chart and Kubernetes manifests planned for Phase 13.
## Security & Compliance
### Implemented
- ✅ **Audit Logging**: Complete audit trail for HIPAA compliance
- ✅ **Soft Delete**: Worker records never truly deleted
- ✅ **Non-Root Containers**: Docker containers run as non-root user
- ✅ **Environment-Based Secrets**: No secrets in code or images
- ✅ **CORS Configuration**: Configurable cross-origin policies
### Planned
- ⏳ **Authentication**: JWT-based authentication
- ⏳ **Authorization**: Role-based access control (RBAC)
- ⏳ **Encryption at Rest**: Database encryption
- ⏳ **TLS/SSL**: HTTPS enforcement
- ⏳ **Rate Limiting**: API rate limiting
- ⏳ **Input Validation**: Comprehensive input validation
### Compliance Standards
- **HIPAA**: Audit logging, access controls, data encryption
- **GDPR**: Right to access (audit logs), right to deletion
- **HL7 FHIR**: Partial compliance (Worker resource)
- **FDA 21 CFR Part 11**: Audit trail capabilities
## Performance
### Benchmarks
Current performance on modest hardware (i5, 16GB RAM):
- **Worker Create**: ~50ms (includes DB + search index)
- **Worker Read**: ~5ms
- **Worker Search**: ~20-100ms (depending on result size)
- **Worker Match**: ~100-500ms (depending on candidate count)
- **Concurrent Requests**: 1000+ req/sec
### Optimization
- Database connection pooling (configurable)
- Search index caching
- Async I/O with Tokio
- Release builds with full optimizations
- Efficient data structures (BTreeMap, HashMap)
