API Performance Budget

Goal

Keep API latency within target

How to Run

Run this loop in any supported coding agent environment to continuously optimize API endpoints based on real-time load testing feedback.

1. 01

   Initialize Environment

   Ensure api-load.js script exists with proper k6 load test configuration targeting the API endpoints.

2. 02

   Start Loop Execution

   Execute the loop by prompting the agent to begin performance optimization cycles using k6 load testing.

3. 03

   Monitor Exit Condition

   Allow the agent to iterate up to 10 times, automatically checking if P95 latency meets the target after each optimization.

Workflow Steps

1. 01

   Run load test

   if P95 latency >= target

2. 02

   Analyze performance metrics and identify bottlenecks

   after step 1

3. 03

   Implement performance optimizations

   after step 2

4. 04

   Re-run load test

   after step 3

5. 05

   Check P95 against target and decide exit or repeat

   if iterations < 10 and P95 >= target

6. 06

   Exit loop successfully

   if P95 < target

7. 07

   Exit loop after max iterations

   if iterations >= 10 and P95 still >= target

Start the "API Performance Budget" loop.

Goal: Keep API latency within target
Max iterations: 10
Between iterations run: k6 run api-load.js
Exit when: P95 latency below target


Optimize the API to meet the P95 latency target defined in the load test script. Run iterative optimizations until the target is achieved or 10 iterations are completed.

Self-pace this loop. After each iteration, run `k6 run api-load.js` and evaluate the output, and only continue if the exit condition is not met (P95 latency below target). Stop when the exit condition passes or 10 iterations are reached. Give a short status update each pass.
