Performance Tuning Guide

Configuration Optimization

Cache Size Tuning

// For memory-constrained environments
const cache = FastCache.with_capacity(10 * 1024 * 1024); // 10MB

// For high-performance environments  
const cache = FastCache.with_capacity(500 * 1024 * 1024); // 500MB

// Auto-sizing based on available memory
const availableMemory = getAvailableSystemMemory();
const cacheSize = Math.min(availableMemory * 0.3, 1024 * 1024 * 1024); // 30% of RAM, max 1GB

Processing Optimization

// Maximum performance (uses more CPU)
processor.set_optimization_level(3);

// Balanced performance (recommended)
processor.set_optimization_level(2);

// Memory-conscious (uses less RAM)
processor.set_optimization_level(1);

Monitoring and Alerting

Key Metrics to Monitor

  • Cache Hit Rate: Should be >80% in production
  • Memory Usage: Monitor for gradual increases (leaks)
  • Processing Time: Watch for performance regression
  • Error Rate: Should be <0.1% in production
  • GC Frequency: Excessive GC indicates memory pressure

Health Check Implementation

function healthCheck(cache) {
    const health = cache.get_health_metrics();
    
    if (health.overall_health < 0.7) {
        console.warn('Performance degraded:', health.recommendations);
        
        if (health.memory_pressure > 0.9) {
            cache.optimize_memory();
        }
        
        if (health.hit_rate_health === 'poor') {
            // Consider increasing cache size or reviewing access patterns
        }
    }
}

// Run health check every 30 seconds
setInterval(() => healthCheck(cache), 30000);
