## Integration Points
### 1. Configuration
Uses existing environment variables from `docs/ENVIRONMENT.md`:
- `KOMODO_TIMEOUT` → Default timeout configuration
- `KOMODO_RETRY_COUNT` → Retry strategy max retries
- `KOMODO_RETRY_DELAY` → Retry strategy base delay
### 2. Authentication
Integrates with existing `AuthManager`:
- HMAC signature generation
- Header injection
- Request signing
### 3. Error Handling
Uses existing error types from `utils/errors.ts`:
- `ApiError`
- `NetworkError`
- `TimeoutError`
- `RetryExhaustedError`
### 4. Logging

const client = new EnhancedKomodoClient(config);
// All optimizations apply automatically
const response = await client.get('/api/resource');
```
### Custom Configuration

});
```
### Performance Monitoring
```typescript
// Get detailed metrics
const metrics = client.getPerformanceMetrics();
console.log(`P95 Latency: ${metrics.system.latency.p95}ms`);
console.log(`Cache Hit Rate: ${metrics.cache.hitRate * 100}%`);
// Get comprehensive report
console.log(client.getPerformanceReport());
// Check acceptability
if (!client.isPerformanceAcceptable()) {
console.warn('Performance degraded');
}
```
### Individual Components
```typescript
import { RequestCache, RateLimiter, CircuitBreaker } from './performance/index.js';
// Use components individually
const cache = new RequestCache({ defaultTtl: 30000 });
const limiter = new RateLimiter({ maxTokens: 50 });
const breaker = new CircuitBreaker({ failureThreshold: 3 });
// Cache usage
cache.set('key', data);
const cached = cache.get('key');
// Rate limiting
await limiter.acquire();
// Circuit breaker
await breaker.execute(async () => {
// Your operation
});
```

## Migration Guide
### From Basic Client

enableCache: false,
enableRateLimiting: false,
enableCircuitBreaker: false,
enableAdaptiveTimeouts: false,
enableMetrics: true, // Only metrics
});
// Gradually enable features
client.perfConfig.enableConnectionPool = true;
client.perfConfig.enableCache = true;
