# Ideogram Performance Tuning

## Overview
Optimize Ideogram API performance with caching, batching, and connection pooling.

## Prerequisites
- Ideogram SDK installed
- Understanding of async patterns
- Redis or in-memory cache available (optional)
- Performance monitoring in place

## Latency Benchmarks

| Operation | P50 | P95 | P99 |
|-----------|-----|-----|-----|
| Read | 50ms | 150ms | 300ms |
| Write | 100ms | 250ms | 500ms |
| List | 75ms | 200ms | 400ms |

## Caching Strategy

### Response Caching
```typescript
import { LRUCache } from 'lru-cache';

const cache = new LRUCache<string, any>({
  max: 1000,
  ttl: 60000, // 1 minute
  updateAgeOnGet: true,
});

async function cachedIdeogramRequest<T>(
  key: string,
  fetcher: () => Promise<T>,
  ttl?: number
): Promise<T> {
  const cached = cache.get(key);
  if (cached) return cached as T;

  const result = await fetcher();
  cache.set(key, result, { ttl });
  return result;
}
```

### Redis Caching (Distributed)
```typescript
import Redis from 'ioredis';

const redis = new Redis(process.env.REDIS_URL);

async function cachedWithRedis<T>(
  key: string,
  fetcher: () => Promise<T>,
  ttlSeconds = 60
): Promise<T> {
  const cached = await redis.get(key);
  if (cached) return JSON.parse(cached);

  const result = await fetcher();
  await redis.setex(key, ttlSeconds, JSON.stringify(result));
  return result;
}
```

## Request Batching

```typescript
import DataLoader from 'dataloader';

const ideogramLoader = new DataLoader<string, any>(
  async (ids) => {
    // Batch fetch from Ideogram
    const results = await ideogramClient.batchGet(ids);
    return ids.map(id => results.find(r => r.id === id) || null);
  },
  {
    maxBatchSize: 100,
    batchScheduleFn: callback => setTimeout(callback, 10),
  }
);

// Usage - automatically batched
const [item1, item2, item3] = await Promise.all([
  ideogramLoader.load('id-1'),
  ideogramLoader.load('id-2'),
  ideogramLoader.load('id-3'),
]);
```

## Connection Optimization

```typescript
import { Agent } from 'https';

// Keep-alive connection pooling
const agent = new Agent({
  keepAlive: true,
  maxSockets: 10,
  maxFreeSockets: 5,
  timeout: 30000,
});

const client = new IdeogramClient({
  apiKey: process.env.IDEOGRAM_API_KEY!,
  httpAgent: agent,
});
```

## Pagination Optimization

```typescript
async function* paginatedIdeogramList<T>(
  fetcher: (cursor?: string) => Promise<{ data: T[]; nextCursor?: string }>
): AsyncGenerator<T> {
  let cursor: string | undefined;

  do {
    const { data, nextCursor } = await fetcher(cursor);
    for (const item of data) {
      yield item;
    }
    cursor = nextCursor;
  } while (cursor);
}

// Usage
for await (const item of paginatedIdeogramList(cursor =>
  ideogramClient.list({ cursor, limit: 100 })
)) {
  await process(item);
}
```

## Performance Monitoring

```typescript
async function measuredIdeogramCall<T>(
  operation: string,
  fn: () => Promise<T>
): Promise<T> {
  const start = performance.now();
  try {
    const result = await fn();
    const duration = performance.now() - start;
    console.log({ operation, duration, status: 'success' });
    return result;
  } catch (error) {
    const duration = performance.now() - start;
    console.error({ operation, duration, status: 'error', error });
    throw error;
  }
}
```

## Instructions

### Step 1: Establish Baseline
Measure current latency for critical Ideogram operations.

### Step 2: Implement Caching
Add response caching for frequently accessed data.

### Step 3: Enable Batching
Use DataLoader or similar for automatic request batching.

### Step 4: Optimize Connections
Configure connection pooling with keep-alive.

## Output
- Reduced API latency
- Caching layer implemented
- Request batching enabled
- Connection pooling configured

## Error Handling
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Cache miss storm | TTL expired | Use stale-while-revalidate |
| Batch timeout | Too many items | Reduce batch size |
| Connection exhausted | No pooling | Configure max sockets |
| Memory pressure | Cache too large | Set max cache entries |

## Examples

### Quick Performance Wrapper
```typescript
const withPerformance = <T>(name: string, fn: () => Promise<T>) =>
  measuredIdeogramCall(name, () =>
    cachedIdeogramRequest(`cache:${name}`, fn)
  );
```
