Fix an analytics HTTP API that fails or returns inconsistent results under concurrent requests. The API uses a single shared ClickHouse connection that is not thread-safe.
Our analytics API at localhost:3000/api/metrics sometimes returns errors or wrong data when multiple people hit it at once. Can you fix it so it works reliably under concurrent load?
Let me explore the codebase to understand the project structure and find the relevant API code.

Here's what was wrong and what I fixed:

Under concurrent load, one request could overwrite `cachedResult` while another was still reading from it, causing race conditions and wrong data.\n\n2. **Single shared ClickHouse client** — the `@clickhouse/client` streams query results over its HTTP connection. When multiple concurrent queries use the same client, response streams can interleave, causing parse errors or corrupted results.\n\n**Fix:** Replaced the single client with a **round-robin pool of 10 independent ClickHouse clients**, and made each request use only local variables (no shared `cachedResult`). Each concurrent request gets its own client with its own HTTP connection, eliminating both the race condition and the stream interleaving."

Our analytics API at localhost:3000/api/metrics sometimes returns errors or wrong data when multiple people hit it at once.
Can you fix it so it works reliably under concurrent load?

ClickHouse seeded with analytics data. A broken API on port 3000 uses a single shared connection and fails under concurrent load.
Make the analytics API handle concurrent requests correctly without connection exhaustion or race conditions.
