Performance Optimization
How we reduced widget generation time by 37.5%
Performance Optimization ⚡
Achievement
Reduced widget generation time by 37.5%: 40+ seconds → ~25 seconds
Optimizations
1. Parallel Context Fetching
Before: Sequential API calls
const templates = await firstValueFrom(this.http.get(url1));
const coreProps = await firstValueFrom(this.http.get(url2));
const aiContext = await firstValueFrom(this.http.get(url3));
// Total: ~9 seconds
After: Parallel with forkJoin
const [templates, coreProps, aiContext] = await firstValueFrom(
forkJoin({
templates: this.http.get(url1),
coreProps: this.http.get(url2),
aiContext: this.http.get(url3)
})
);
// Total: ~3 seconds (fastest of the 3)
Impact: -6 seconds (~20% improvement)
2. Removed API Timeouts
Before: Hard timeouts interrupted complex generations
this.http.post(url, data).pipe(
timeout(30000), // 30s timeout - cuts off complex widgets!
catchError(() => of({ error: 'Timeout' }))
)
After: No timeouts, let generation complete naturally
this.http.post(url, data).pipe(
catchError((err) => of({ error: err.message }))
)
Impact: Complex widgets can now complete successfully
3. Console Log Cleanup
Before: Verbose logger.info on every step
this.logger.info('Step 1...');
this.logger.info('Step 2...');
this.logger.info('Step 3...');
After: Use logger.debug for verbose output
this.logger.debug('Step 1...');
this.logger.debug('Step 2...');
this.logger.info('✅ Generation complete'); // Only important logs
Impact: Cleaner console, easier debugging
