1. Performance Analysis¶

1.1 Critical Path Analysis¶

Booking Flow Performance (Most Critical):

Client Request
    ↓ (5-10ms) Model Binding + Decryption
Validation
    ↓ (1-5ms) Hash validation
User Validation/Registration
    ↓ (50-100ms) DB call
Slot Validation
    ↓ (50-150ms) DB call (SchedulingDatabase)
Booking Creation (Phase 1)
    ↓ (100-200ms) DB call (XML processing)
Booking Creation (Phase 2)
    ↓ (100-200ms) DB call (PsyterDatabase)
Video Meeting Creation
    ↓ (200-500ms) External API call (VideoSDK)
Booking Status Update
    ↓ (50-100ms) DB call
Notification Sending
    ↓ (100-300ms) External API call (FCM)
Response
    ↓
Total: 650-1,550ms (0.65-1.55 seconds)

Performance Rating: ⚠️ 6/10 - Acceptable but slow

Bottlenecks:
1. External API calls (700ms) - 45% of total time
2. Database calls (450ms) - 30% of total time
3. XML processing - Overhead in serialization

1.2 Endpoint Performance Estimates¶

Concerns:
- Booking endpoint > 1 second (user perception threshold)
- No caching for frequently accessed data
- Synchronous external API calls

2. Database Performance¶

2.1 Connection Management¶

Status: ⚠️ 6/10 - Basic Implementation

Current Approach: BaseRepository.CreateDbConnection()

protected SqlConnection CreateDbConnection(string dbKey = "PsyterDatabase")
{
    var encrypted = _config.GetConnectionString(dbKey);
    var decrypted = DecryptConnectionString(encrypted);
    var conn = new SqlConnection(decrypted);
    conn.Open();  // ❌ Synchronous
    return conn;
}

Issues:

🟡 Synchronous Connection Opening

Impact: Blocks thread while waiting for database

Fix:

protected async Task<SqlConnection> CreateDbConnectionAsync(string dbKey)
{
    var conn = new SqlConnection(decrypted);
    await conn.OpenAsync();  // ✅ Non-blocking
    return conn;
}

🟡 Connection String Decryption Overhead

Issue: Decryption happens on every connection

Performance Impact: +5-10ms per connection

Optimization:

private static ConcurrentDictionary<string, string> _connectionCache = new();

protected SqlConnection CreateDbConnection(string dbKey)
{
    var decrypted = _connectionCache.GetOrAdd(dbKey, key => 
        DecryptConnectionString(_config.GetConnectionString(key)));
    // Cache decrypted connection string
}

🟡 No Connection Pool Configuration

Current: Default ADO.NET pooling

Recommendation: Tune pool settings

Data Source=...;Max Pool Size=200;Min Pool Size=10;Connection Timeout=30;

2.2 Query Performance¶

Status: ❓ Cannot Fully Assess (Stored Procedures)

Stored Procedure Calls: All database access via SP

✅ Advantages:
- Execution plan caching
- Reduced network traffic
- SQL injection protection

⚠️ Concerns:

🟡 XML Parameter Processing

Code: Multiple repositories use XML serialization

var xml = XmlHelper.ObjectToXml(bookingData);  // ❌ Serialization overhead
var response = await _schedulingRepository.SaveScheduleBooking(xml);

Performance Impact:
- XML serialization: 10-50ms
- XML parsing in SQL: 20-100ms
- Total overhead: 30-150ms per call

Recommendation: Use JSON parameters (SQL Server 2016+)

-- Modern approach
CREATE PROCEDURE SaveBooking
    @BookingJson NVARCHAR(MAX)
AS
BEGIN
    INSERT INTO Bookings
    SELECT * FROM OPENJSON(@BookingJson)
    WITH (UserId BIGINT, ...)
END

🟡 No Query Timeout Configuration Visible

Default: 30 seconds (from appsettings.json)

Recommendation: Set per-query timeouts for long-running operations

cmd.CommandTimeout = 60;  // For complex reports

2.3 Database Call Patterns¶

Analysis of Repository Methods:

✅ Good:
- Single database roundtrips
- Parameterized queries
- Proper disposal

⚠️ Issues:

🟡 N+1 Query Potential

Location: CareProviderController.GetCareProvidersListWithSchedule()

// Step 1: Get provider list
var response = _careProviderRepository.GetCareProvidersListForFilterCriteria(...);

// Step 2: For each provider, attach schedule (done in stored procedure?)
foreach (var careProvider in response.CareProvidersList)
{
    careProvider.AvailableScheduleHoursList = scheduleResponse.AvailableHoursList
        .Where(x => x.ServiceProviderId == careProvider.UserLoginInfoId).ToList();
}

Assessment: Likely optimized in stored procedure, but verify

🟡 Two Databases

Impact: Cannot use transactions across PsyterDatabase + SchedulingDatabase

Code: SessionBookingController.BookSession()

// Phase 1: SchedulingDatabase
var bookingResponse = await _schedulingRepository.SaveScheduleBooking(xml);

// Phase 2: PsyterDatabase
var response = await _sessionBookingRepository.SaveBookingOrderPayForData(xml);

Risk: Partial failures leave inconsistent state

Recommendation: Implement distributed transactions or compensating actions

try
{
    var schedulingBooking = await _schedulingRepository.SaveScheduleBooking(...);
    var orderBooking = await _sessionBookingRepository.Save...();
}
catch
{
    // Rollback scheduling booking
    await _schedulingRepository.CancelBooking(schedulingBooking.Id);
    throw;
}

3. API Response Times¶

3.1 Response Time Targets¶

Industry Standards:
- < 100ms: Excellent
- 100-300ms: Good
- 300-1000ms: Acceptable
- 1000ms+: Poor (user perceives delay)

Current Estimates:

3.2 Optimization Opportunities¶

🟡 Parallel Processing in Booking

Current: Sequential operations

var validateUser = await _userRepository.Validate(...);  // 100ms
var validateSlot = await _schedulingRepository.Get...(); // 150ms
// Total: 250ms sequential

Optimized: Parallel execution

var userTask = _userRepository.Validate(...);
var slotTask = _schedulingRepository.Get...();
await Task.WhenAll(userTask, slotTask);
// Total: 150ms (max of both)

Potential Savings: 100-200ms per booking

🟡 Async/Await Throughout

Current: Synchronous database calls

Impact:
- Thread pool exhaustion under load
- Poor scalability

Recommendation: Convert all repositories to async

Estimated Improvement:
- 2x better throughput
- 3x better concurrent user capacity

3.3 Response Caching¶

Status: 🔴 Not Implemented

Cacheable Endpoints:

1. Catalogue Data (changes rarely)
   

   [ResponseCache(Duration = 3600)]  // 1 hour
   public IActionResult GetCatalogueDataForFilters()
   

   
   Benefit: Eliminate DB call (save 50-100ms)

2. Provider Profiles (changes infrequently)
   

   [ResponseCache(Duration = 300, VaryByQueryKeys = new[] { "providerId" })]
   public IActionResult GetCareProvidersProfileData(...)
   

   
   Benefit: Save 100-200ms per request

3. Assessment Questions (static)
   

   [ResponseCache(Duration = 86400)]  // 24 hours
   public IActionResult GetAssessmentQuestions()
   

Estimated Impact: 30-50% reduction in database load

4. Resource Utilization¶

4.1 Memory Usage¶

Status: ✅ 7/10 - Generally Efficient

Analysis:

✅ Good Practices:
- Proper using statements
- No obvious memory leaks
- Objects disposed correctly

Potential Issues:

🟡 XML Serialization Memory

Code: Large objects serialized to XML

var xml = XmlHelper.ObjectToXml(bookingDetail.BookingData);
// Creates XML string in memory (~5-50KB per booking)

Impact: Moderate under high load

Optimization: Use streaming XML writer

using var stream = new MemoryStream();
using var writer = XmlWriter.Create(stream);
serializer.Serialize(writer, obj);

🟡 No Memory Limits

Issue: No max request size configured

Risk: Large requests could exhaust memory

Recommendation:

builder.Services.Configure<FormOptions>(options =>
{
    options.MultipartBodyLengthLimit = 10 * 1024 * 1024; // 10MB
});

4.2 CPU Usage¶

Status: ✅ 7/10 - Acceptable

CPU-Intensive Operations:

1. Encryption/Decryption: AES-256 operations
   - Per request: 5-10 IDs decrypted
   - Impact: Low-Medium

2. XML Serialization: String manipulation
   - Per booking: 1-2 large objects
   - Impact: Medium

3. Hash Validation: HMAC-SHA256
   - Per protected endpoint: 1 calculation
   - Impact: Low

Estimated CPU per Request: 10-50ms

Bottleneck: Not CPU-bound (I/O-bound system)

4.3 Network I/O¶

Status: ⚠️ 5/10 - Could Be Better

External API Calls:

1. VideoSDK (per booking)
   - Latency: 200-500ms
   - Payload: ~500 bytes request, 200 bytes response

2. Firebase FCM (per booking)
   - Latency: 100-300ms
   - Payload: ~1KB (notification + data)

Total External Latency: 300-800ms per booking (50% of total time)

Optimization Opportunity:

🟡 Async Background Notifications

Current: Synchronous notification sending blocks response

await SendBookingNotificationInternally(orderId, true);  // Blocks response
return Ok(response);

Better: Fire-and-forget

_ = Task.Run(() => SendBookingNotificationInternally(orderId, true));
return Ok(response);  // Return immediately

Benefit: Save 100-300ms response time

5. Scalability¶

5.1 Horizontal Scalability¶

Status: ✅ 8/10 - Good Foundation

Stateless Design:
- ✅ No in-memory state
- ✅ JWT authentication (no server sessions)
- ✅ Database-backed everything
- ✅ Scoped DI lifetimes

Scaling Characteristics:
- Can deploy multiple instances
- Load balancer ready
- No sticky sessions required

Concerns:

🟡 No Distributed Caching

Issue: Response cache is in-memory (per instance)

Recommendation: Use Redis

builder.Services.AddStackExchangeRedisCache(options =>
{
    options.Configuration = "redis-server:6379";
});

🟡 External Service Bottlenecks

Issue: VideoSDK/FCM could become bottlenecks

Mitigation:
- Implement circuit breakers
- Queue notification sending
- Retry policies

5.2 Vertical Scalability¶

Status: ⚠️ 6/10 - Limited by Synchronous Code

CPU Scaling: Limited by synchronous DB calls

Thread Utilization: Blocking I/O prevents efficient threading

Recommendation: Async/await throughout

Expected Improvement:
- Current: 50 concurrent requests per 2-core server
- After async: 200+ concurrent requests per 2-core server

5.3 Database Scalability¶

Status: ⚠️ 5/10 - Potential Bottleneck

Concerns:

🟡 Single Database Instances

Issue: No read replicas mentioned

Recommendation:
- Read replicas for provider search
- Write to primary, read from replicas
- Connection string routing

protected SqlConnection CreateDbConnection(bool readOnly = false)
{
    var key = readOnly ? "PsyterDatabase_ReadOnly" : "PsyterDatabase";
    // ...
}

🟡 No Connection Pooling Monitoring

Risk: Pool exhaustion under load

Recommendation: Monitor pool metrics

// Log connection pool stats
SqlConnection.ClearAllPools();  // If needed

6. Error Handling & Recovery¶

6.1 Exception Handling¶

Status: 🔴 4/10 - Poor

Issues Identified:

🔴 Inconsistent Error Handling

Pattern 1: Expose exception details

catch (Exception ex)
{
    return StatusCode(500, ex);  // ❌ Leaks stack trace
}

Pattern 2: Lose stack trace

catch (Exception ex)
{
    throw ex;  // ❌ Should be `throw;`
}

Pattern 3: Silent failure

catch (Exception ex)
{
    return false;  // ❌ No logging
}

Impact: Hard to diagnose production issues

🔴 No Graceful Degradation

Example: VideoSDK failure

string meetingId = await _videSDKHelper.CreateAndSaveVideoSDKMeetingId(...);
// If this fails, entire booking fails

Better:

try
{
    meetingId = await _videSDKHelper.Create...();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    _logger.LogError(ex, "Video meeting creation failed");
    meetingId = "PENDING";  // ✅ Allow booking, create meeting later
}

6.2 Transient Fault Handling¶

Status: 🔴 2/10 - Not Implemented

No Retry Logic Found

Scenarios Needing Retries:
1. Database connection failures (network blip)
2. External API timeouts (VideoSDK, FCM)
3. HTTP 429 / 503 responses

Recommendation: Use Polly library

// Retry policy
var retryPolicy = Policy
    .Handle<SqlException>()
    .Or<HttpRequestException>()
    .WaitAndRetryAsync(3, retryAttempt => 
        TimeSpan.FromSeconds(Math.Pow(2, retryAttempt)));

await retryPolicy.ExecuteAsync(async () =>
{
    return await _videSDKHelper.CreateMeetingAsync(...);
});

6.3 Circuit Breaker¶

Status: 🔴 0/10 - Not Implemented

Risk: Cascading failures from external services

Example Scenario:
1. VideoSDK API goes down
2. All bookings timeout (30 seconds each)
3. Thread pool exhausted
4. Entire API unresponsive

Recommendation:

var circuitBreaker = Policy
    .Handle<HttpRequestException>()
    .CircuitBreakerAsync(
        exceptionsAllowedBeforeBreaking: 5,
        durationOfBreak: TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1));

6.4 Timeout Management¶

Status: ⚠️ 5/10 - Basic Configuration

Database Timeouts: Configured (30 seconds default)

HTTP Timeouts: Not explicitly set

Recommendation:

// VideoSDKHelper
var httpClient = new HttpClient
{
    Timeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10)  // ✅ Explicit timeout
};

7. Monitoring & Observability¶

7.1 Logging¶

Status: 🔴 2/10 - Critical Gap

Finding: NO logging framework implemented

Impact:
- Cannot diagnose production issues
- No performance metrics
- No audit trail
- No error tracking

Recommendation: Implement Serilog

builder.Host.UseSerilog((context, config) =>
{
    config
        .ReadFrom.Configuration(context.Configuration)
        .Enrich.WithProperty("Application", "TahoonAPI")
        .Enrich.WithProperty("Environment", context.HostingEnvironment.EnvironmentName)
        .WriteTo.Console()
        .WriteTo.ApplicationInsights(TelemetryConfiguration.Active, TelemetryConverter.Traces)
        .WriteTo.Seq("http://seq-server:5341");
});

Key Metrics to Log:
- Request duration
- External API call duration
- Database query duration
- Error rates
- Booking success/failure rates

7.2 Application Performance Monitoring (APM)¶

Status: 🔴 0/10 - Not Implemented

Missing:
- No Application Insights
- No New Relic / Datadog
- No performance traces
- No distributed tracing

Recommendation: Add Application Insights

builder.Services.AddApplicationInsightsTelemetry(options =>
{
    options.ConnectionString = builder.Configuration["ApplicationInsights:ConnectionString"];
});

Benefits:
- Real-time performance metrics
- Dependency tracking (DB, external APIs)
- Exception tracking
- Custom metrics

7.3 Health Checks¶

Status: 🔴 0/10 - Not Implemented

No health check endpoints found

Recommendation:

builder.Services.AddHealthChecks()
    .AddSqlServer(connectionString, name: "psyter-db")
    .AddSqlServer(schedulingConnectionString, name: "scheduling-db")
    .AddUrlGroup(new Uri("https://api.videosdk.live"), name: "videosdk");

app.MapHealthChecks("/health", new HealthCheckOptions
{
    ResponseWriter = UIResponseWriter.WriteHealthCheckUIResponse
});

Endpoints:
- GET /health - Overall health
- GET /health/ready - Readiness probe (Kubernetes)
- GET /health/live - Liveness probe

7.4 Metrics Collection¶

Status: 🔴 0/10 - Not Implemented

Missing Metrics:
- Request count
- Request duration (percentiles)
- Error rate
- Throughput (req/sec)
- Concurrent requests
- Database connection pool stats
- External API latency

Recommendation: Prometheus + Grafana

builder.Services.AddOpenTelemetryMetrics(builder =>
{
    builder.AddAspNetCoreInstrumentation();
    builder.AddHttpClientInstrumentation();
    builder.AddPrometheusExporter();
});

app.MapPrometheusScrapingEndpoint();  // /metrics

8. Resilience Patterns¶

8.1 Bulkhead Isolation¶

Status: 🔴 0/10 - Not Implemented

Issue: Resource sharing across all operations

Risk: Slow VideoSDK API calls consume all threads

Recommendation: Isolate external calls

var bulkheadPolicy = Policy.BulkheadAsync(
    maxParallelization: 10,
    maxQueuingActions: 50);

await bulkheadPolicy.ExecuteAsync(() => _videoSDK.CreateMeeting(...));

8.2 Fallback Strategies¶

Status: 🔴 1/10 - Minimal

No fallback behavior for:
- Database unavailable
- VideoSDK unavailable
- FCM unavailable

Recommendation: Graceful degradation

// Example: Booking without video meeting
try
{
    meetingId = await CreateVideoMeeting();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    _logger.LogWarning(ex, "Video meeting creation failed, will retry later");
    meetingId = "PENDING";
    await _messageQueue.Enqueue(new CreateMeetingMessage { BookingId = ... });
}

8.3 Rate Limiting¶

Status: 🔴 0/10 - Not Implemented

Risk: API abuse, DDoS

Recommendation: See Security Audit section

9. Data Integrity¶

9.1 Transaction Management¶

Status: ⚠️ 6/10 - Basic

Analysis:

✅ Single Database Transactions: Handled by stored procedures

⚠️ Cross-Database Transactions: Not handled

Code: SessionBookingController.BookSession()

// Step 1: SchedulingDatabase
var bookingResponse = await _schedulingRepository.SaveScheduleBooking(...);

// Step 2: PsyterDatabase  
var response = await _sessionBookingRepository.SaveBookingOrderPayForData(...);

Risk: If Step 2 fails, Step 1 is orphaned

Solutions:

Option 1: Distributed Transaction (not recommended)

using var scope = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeAsyncFlowOption.Enabled);
// Both database calls
scope.Complete();

Option 2: Compensating Transaction (recommended)

var slotBookingId = await SaveSchedulingBooking(...);
try
{
    var orderId = await SaveOrderPayForData(...);
}
catch
{
    await CancelSchedulingBooking(slotBookingId);  // Compensate
    throw;
}

Option 3: Saga Pattern (best for microservices)

// Orchestrator coordinates multi-step process
// with compensation logic for each step

9.2 Idempotency¶

Status: ⚠️ 4/10 - Unclear

Issue: No idempotency keys found

Scenario: Retry leads to duplicate booking

Recommendation: Add idempotency

public class BookOrderRequest
{
    public string IdempotencyKey { get; set; }  // Client-generated UUID
    // ...
}

// Check before processing
var existing = await CheckIdempotencyKey(request.IdempotencyKey);
if (existing != null)
    return Ok(existing);  // Return cached response

9.3 Data Validation¶

Status: ✅ 7/10 - Good

Validation Layers:
1. ✅ Model validation (ASP.NET)
2. ✅ Anti-XSS validation
3. ✅ SecureHash validation
4. ✅ Organization ownership validation

Gap: No database constraint verification in code

10. Load Testing Recommendations¶

10.1 Load Test Scenarios¶

Scenario 1: Normal Load
- 100 concurrent users
- 10 req/sec sustained
- Duration: 1 hour
- Expected: < 500ms p95, < 1% errors

Scenario 2: Peak Load
- 500 concurrent users
- 50 req/sec sustained
- Duration: 15 minutes
- Expected: < 1000ms p95, < 5% errors

Scenario 3: Stress Test
- 1000+ concurrent users
- Ramp up until failure
- Identify breaking point

Scenario 4: Soak Test
- 200 concurrent users
- 24 hours continuous
- Check for memory leaks

10.2 Performance Benchmarks¶

Target SLAs:

10.3 Load Testing Tools¶

Recommended:
1. k6 (Grafana)
2. JMeter
3. Azure Load Testing

Example k6 Script:

import http from 'k6/http';
import { check, sleep } from 'k6';

export const options = {
  vus: 100,
  duration: '5m',
  thresholds: {
    http_req_duration: ['p(95)<1000'],
    http_req_failed: ['rate<0.01'],
  },
};

export default function () {
  // Get token
  const tokenRes = http.post('https://api/auth/token', {
    grant_type: 'password',
    access_key: 'test-key',
  });

  const token = tokenRes.json('access_token');

  // Search providers
  http.post('https://api/careprovider/getcareproviderslistwithschedule', 
    JSON.stringify({ ... }), 
    { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` } }
  );

  sleep(1);
}

13. Conclusion¶

The Tahoon API demonstrates acceptable performance under light-to-moderate load but has significant reliability gaps that must be addressed before production deployment at scale.

Performance Summary:
- ✅ Reasonable response times for simple operations
- ⚠️ Booking flow approaching user perception threshold (1s+)
- ⚠️ No caching strategy
- 🔴 Synchronous I/O limits scalability

Reliability Summary:
- 🔴 No logging = cannot diagnose issues
- 🔴 No retry logic = vulnerable to transient failures
- 🔴 No monitoring = blind to performance degradation
- 🔴 Inconsistent error handling = unpredictable failures

Critical Path to Production:
1. Week 1: Add logging + health checks
2. Week 2: Implement retry policies + circuit breakers
3. Week 3: Add monitoring + alerting
4. Week 4: Load testing + optimization

Overall Assessment:
- Current State: Suitable for low-volume pilot (< 100 users)
- After Quick Wins: Suitable for beta (< 1000 users)
- After Async Conversion: Suitable for production (< 10,000 users)
- Long-Term: Needs architectural evolution for enterprise scale

Primary Recommendation: Do NOT deploy to production without implementing logging, monitoring, and basic resilience patterns. The lack of observability makes it impossible to diagnose issues in production.
