# Performance Optimization Layer
This document describes the comprehensive performance optimization system implemented in the Komodo MCP server.
## Overview
The performance layer adds minimal overhead (<100ms target) while providing:
- **Connection Pooling**: Reuse HTTP connections to reduce overhead
- **Intelligent Caching**: TTL-based caching for read operations
- **Rate Limiting**: Token bucket algorithm to respect API limits
- **Retry Strategy**: Exponential backoff with jitter
- **Adaptive Timeouts**: Per-operation timeouts that adjust based on performance
- **Circuit Breaker**: Prevent cascading failures
- **Metrics Collection**: Comprehensive performance monitoring

## Components
### 1. Connection Pool
**File**: `src/performance/ConnectionPool.ts`
Manages reusable HTTP/HTTPS connections to reduce connection overhead.
**Features**:
- Configurable max sockets and free sockets
- Keep-alive support with configurable timeout
- Connection reuse tracking
- Real-time statistics
**Configuration**:
```typescript
{
maxSockets: 50, // Maximum concurrent connections
maxFreeSockets: 10, // Maximum idle connections
keepAlive: true, // Enable keep-alive
keepAliveMsecs: 1000, // Keep-alive probe interval
timeout: 30000, // Socket timeout
freeSocketTimeout: 15000 // Idle socket timeout
}
```
**Benefits**:
- Reduces connection establishment overhead
- Improves throughput for multiple requests
- Prevents socket exhaustion
### 2. Request Cache
**File**: `src/performance/RequestCache.ts`
LRU cache with TTL support for read operations (GET requests only).
**Features**:
- TTL-based expiration
- LRU eviction policy
- Size-based limits
- Hit/miss tracking
- Automatic cleanup of expired entries
**Configuration**:
```typescript
{
maxSize: 100 * 1024 * 1024, // 100MB maximum cache size
defaultTtl: 60000, // 60 second default TTL
maxEntries: 1000, // Maximum cached entries
enableCompression: false // Optional compression
}
```
**Usage**:
```typescript
// Cache is automatic for GET requests
const response = await client.get('/api/resource');
// Cache stats
const stats = client.getPerformanceMetrics().cache;
console.log(`Cache hit rate: ${stats.hitRate * 100}%`);
```
### 3. Rate Limiter
**File**: `src/performance/RateLimiter.ts`
Token bucket algorithm to prevent overwhelming the API.
**Features**:
- Token-based rate limiting
- Automatic token refill
- Request queuing
- Configurable rates
**Configuration**:
```typescript
{
maxTokens: 100, // Bucket capacity
refillRate: 10, // Tokens per interval
refillInterval: 1000, // Refill interval (ms)
minDelay: 0 // Minimum delay between requests
}
```
**Example**:
```typescript
// Rate limiting is automatic
// Requests will queue if rate limit is reached
await client.get('/api/resource');
```
### 4. Retry Strategy
**File**: `src/performance/RetryStrategy.ts`
Exponential backoff with jitter for failed requests.
**Features**:
- Configurable retry attempts
- Exponential backoff
- Jitter to prevent thundering herd
- Retryable error detection
**Configuration**:
```typescript
{
maxRetries: 3, // Maximum retry attempts
baseDelay: 1000, // Base delay (ms)
maxDelay: 30000, // Maximum delay (ms)
exponentialBase: 2, // Backoff multiplier
jitterFactor: 0.1, // Jitter factor (10%)
retryableStatusCodes: [408, 429, 500, 502, 503, 504],
retryableErrors: ['ECONNRESET', 'ETIMEDOUT', ...]
}
```
**Retry Delays**:
```
Attempt 1: 1000ms + jitter
Attempt 2: 2000ms + jitter
Attempt 3: 4000ms + jitter
Attempt 4: 8000ms + jitter
```
### 5. Timeout Manager
**File**: `src/performance/TimeoutManager.ts`
Adaptive timeouts per operation type.
**Features**:
- Operation-specific timeouts
- Adaptive adjustment based on performance
- Timeout recommendations
**Configuration**:
```typescript
{
default: 30000, // Default timeout
read: 10000, // GET operations
write: 20000, // POST operations
list: 15000, // List operations
search: 20000, // Search operations
create: 30000, // Create operations
update: 25000, // Update operations
delete: 15000, // Delete operations
adaptiveEnabled: true, // Enable adaptive timeouts
adaptiveThreshold: 0.8, // Threshold for adjustment
adaptiveAdjustment: 1.2 // Adjustment factor
}
```
**Adaptive Behavior**:
- Monitors operation durations
- Increases timeout if operations consistently approach limit
- Provides recommendations based on P95 latency
### 6. Circuit Breaker
**File**: `src/performance/CircuitBreaker.ts`
Prevents cascading failures by stopping requests to failing endpoints.
**Features**:
- Three states: CLOSED, OPEN, HALF_OPEN
- Failure threshold detection
- Automatic recovery attempt
- Health metrics
**Configuration**:
```typescript
{
failureThreshold: 5, // Failures before opening
successThreshold: 2, // Successes to close from half-open
timeout: 60000, // Time before retry (ms)
monitoringWindow: 10000, // Failure monitoring window (ms)
volumeThreshold: 10 // Minimum requests before opening
}
```
**States**:
- **CLOSED**: Normal operation, requests allowed
- **OPEN**: Too many failures, requests rejected
- **HALF_OPEN**: Testing recovery, limited requests
### 7. Metrics Collector
**File**: `src/performance/metrics.ts`
Comprehensive performance monitoring and reporting.
**Metrics Collected**:
- **Latency**: min, max, avg, P50, P95, P99
- **Throughput**: requests/second, requests/minute
- **Errors**: total, rate, by type
- **Cache**: hit rate, miss rate
- **Connections**: active, reuse rate
**Usage**:
```typescript
// Get current metrics
const metrics = client.getPerformanceMetrics();
// Get performance report
console.log(client.getPerformanceReport());
// Check if performance is acceptable
if (!client.isPerformanceAcceptable()) {
console.warn('Performance degraded');
}
```
## Usage
### Basic Usage
```typescript
import { EnhancedKomodoClient } from './client/EnhancedKomodoClient.js';
import { loadConfig } from './config.js';
// Load configuration
const config = loadConfig();
// Create enhanced client
const client = new EnhancedKomodoClient(config);
// Make requests (all optimizations apply automatically)
const response = await client.get('/api/resource');
// Get performance metrics
const metrics = client.getPerformanceMetrics();
console.log(metrics);

## Best Practices
### 1. Cache Usage
- Cache is automatic for GET requests
- Default TTL is 60 seconds
- Monitor hit rate and adjust TTL if needed
- Clear cache when data freshness is critical
### 2. Rate Limiting
- Default: 100 tokens, refill 10/second
- Adjust based on API rate limits
- Monitor queue length during high load
### 3. Circuit Breaker
- Opens after 5 consecutive failures
- Waits 60 seconds before retry
- Monitor state transitions
- Reset manually if needed
### 4. Adaptive Timeouts
- Let system learn optimal timeouts
- Review recommendations periodically
- Adjust manually for critical operations
### 5. Monitoring
- Check metrics regularly
- Set up alerts for degraded performance
- Use performance report for diagnostics
## Troubleshooting
### High Latency
1. Check timeout recommendations:
```typescript
const recommendations = client.getPerformanceMetrics().timeout;
console.log(recommendations);
```
2. Monitor circuit breaker state:
```typescript
const cb = client.getPerformanceMetrics().circuitBreaker;
if (cb.state === 'OPEN') {
console.log('Circuit breaker is open - endpoint unavailable');
}
```
### Low Cache Hit Rate
1. Check cache statistics:
```typescript
const cache = client.getPerformanceMetrics().cache;
console.log(`Hit rate: ${cache.hitRate * 100}%`);
```
2. Increase TTL or cache size if appropriate
3. Verify that requests are cacheable (GET only)
### Connection Issues
1. Monitor connection pool:
```typescript
const pool = client.getPerformanceMetrics().connectionPool;
console.log(`Active: ${pool.activeConnections}`);
console.log(`Reuse rate: ${pool.reuseRate * 100}%`);
```
2. Increase max sockets if at capacity
3. Check keep-alive settings
### Rate Limiting
1. Monitor rate limiter queue:
```typescript
const rl = client.getPerformanceMetrics().rateLimiter;
console.log(`Queue length: ${rl.waitingRequests}`);
```
2. Adjust token bucket size or refill rate
3. Implement request batching if possible
## Performance Testing
```typescript
// Measure performance overhead
const iterations = 1000;
const start = Date.now();
for (let i = 0; i < iterations; i++) {
await client.get('/api/test');
}
const duration = Date.now() - start;
const avgLatency = duration / iterations;
console.log(`Average latency: ${avgLatency}ms`);
// Should be <100ms overhead compared to direct axios call
```
## Migration from Basic Client
```typescript
// Before
import { KomodoClient } from './client/KomodoClient.js';
const client = new KomodoClient(config);
// After
import { EnhancedKomodoClient } from './client/EnhancedKomodoClient.js';
const client = new EnhancedKomodoClient(config);
// API is identical - all optimizations are automatic
const response = await client.get('/api/resource');
```
