Prisma's debug logger keeps the arguments of its last hundred calls in
memory whether or not logging is on, and the client and the Postgres
adapter both log every statement with its parameters. A restore that
wrote 1 000 readings per statement therefore kept a copy of about the
last 100 000 readings alive for the whole measurement write: about
60 MB on 1.8 million Apple Health readings, next to a V8 heap limit of
524 MB in the default 1 GB container.
The bulk insert now splits whatever it is handed into statements of at
most 100 rows, which holds about 7 MB. The Apple Health export import
goes through the same helper and gets the same bound. The write costs a
little time: 94 s instead of 76 s for 1.8 million readings on a fast
host.

Each `createManyAndReturn` flush of the export import left about 5 MB of
heap behind until some two dozen calls had piled up. A 300 000-record
synthetic import under a 524 MB heap settled at 53 MB retained; a run of
back-to-back 600-row calls with nothing between them reached 212 MB.
Spot rows now go through the column-array `INSERT … SELECT FROM unnest`
the restore already uses, with `ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING RETURNING`, which
is what `createMany({ skipDuplicates })` emits. The same import holds
11.5 MB and finishes in 35 s instead of 55 s. Ids are minted in the
cuid() shape, defaults are written as the client would write them, and
integration tests compare the returned rows and the resulting table with
`createManyAndReturn` for fresh rows, conflicts on either unique
identity, and duplicates inside one call.
An account of 1.25 million measurements could not export its data or be
restored from any backup (#1031). Measured in a 1 GB container:
- The full export and the passphrase export built the whole payload and
its JSON string in memory; the app ran out of heap and restarted.
- The weekly backup's JSON is 662 MB, longer than any string V8 can hold,
so `unpackBackupBlob` threw on every read. Restore, download and the
restore preview all answered "could not be decrypted".
- Upload accepted 10 MB, a fraction of a large export.
Every reader and writer of a backup file now streams it:
- `scanBackupJson` reads a backup's bytes once, keeps every section but
the named bulk arrays, and hands their elements out one at a time.
`readStreamedBackup` uses it twice: a first pass that validates each
measurement against the element schema and keeps the rest of the file,
and a second pass that hands the measurements to the writer in batches.
Stored copies and off-host objects are authenticated whole on their
compressed ciphertext before any plaintext is read; only the
decompression is streamed.
- Restore writes the measurements with one `INSERT … FROM unnest` per
batch. Prisma caches a query plan per `createMany` row count, and one
1 000-row plan kept about 145 MB alive, which alone put the restore past
the heap limit. The transaction budget grows with the measurement count.
The awards and ECG sections are handed the ids they reference that were
written, not every written id.
- The export routes write the file into the response as it is produced.
The passphrase export spools its ciphertext to a temporary file because
the HLX1 format puts the tag first; the format is unchanged, so existing
archives open as before.
- Upload accepts the raw body, JSON or gzip, up to the 512 MB request
ceiling, checks it as it arrives and stores it in the same pass; the admin
page compresses the file in the browser before sending it. Multipart stays
for small files.
- Download streams the stored JSON; the preview counts measurements from
the stream. The monthly restore drill and `scripts/restore-backup.ts`
read the off-host object the same way; the script can write `.json.gz`.
On the seeded account in a 1 GB container: export 25 s at 389 MB peak,
passphrase export 25 s, both uploads 19 s, restore of the weekly backup
94 s at 554 MB peak, and export, upload and restore round-trip to exactly
the same rows. The encrypted-column guard now also recognises the raw SQL
statement that writes `DataBackup.data`.
