Performance Optimizations

Smart Request Processing

1

Parallel Classification

Request analysis happens concurrently with provider health checks
2

Pre-computed Routes

Common routing decisions are cached and reused across requests
3

Async Health Checks

Provider status updates happen in background without blocking requests

Efficient Data Handling

Zero-Copy Operations

Minimal memory allocation and copying during request processing

Connection Pooling

Persistent connections to all providers reduce connection overhead

Optimized JSON

Fast parsing and serialization with minimal allocations

Resource Management

Graceful degradation under extreme load conditions

Performance Comparison

Benchmarks run on identical hardware (4 CPU cores, 8GB RAM) with 1000 concurrent requests.

Cache Performance

Hit Rate Optimization

Different request patterns achieve different cache performance:

Repeated Queries

90%+ hit rate
FAQ-style applications

Similar Content

60-70% hit rate
Content generation tasks

Unique Requests

20-30% hit rate
Highly varied applications

Cache Warming Strategies

Adaptive automatically pre-loads cache with common patterns:
  • Popular request types
  • Frequently used prompts
  • High-traffic user patterns

Monitoring and Observability

Built-in Metrics

Latency Percentiles

Track P50, P95, P99 response times across all endpoints

Cache Analytics

Monitor hit rates, cache efficiency, and performance gains

Provider Health

Real-time status and response time monitoring for all providers

Error Tracking

Detailed error rates, types, and recovery statistics

Dashboard Insights

Access real-time performance data in your Adaptive dashboard:
  • Request latency trends and percentiles
  • Cache hit rates across all tiers
  • Provider performance comparisons
  • Cost savings from cache hits
  • Throughput and scaling metrics
Performance Tip: Enable semantic caching for applications with similar but not identical requests to maximize cache efficiency.

Scaling Considerations

Horizontal Scaling

1

Load Balancing

Multiple Adaptive instances can be load-balanced for higher throughput
2

Cache Sharing

Distributed cache layers maintain efficiency across instances
3

Auto-scaling

Automatic instance scaling based on request volume and latency

Performance Best Practices

Enable All Caches

Use both semantic and prompt-response caching for maximum performance

Connection Reuse

Use persistent connections and connection pooling in your clients

Batch Requests

Group similar requests together when possible for better cache efficiency

Monitor Metrics

Watch performance dashboards to identify optimization opportunities
