Improving API Performance

Caching, Pagination, and Hands-On


Implementation
Why is API Performance
Important?
• • Enhances user experience.
• • Reduces server load and operational costs.
• • Improves scalability for high traffic.
• • Boosts application reliability and
responsiveness.
Caching
• • Temporarily stores frequently accessed data.
• • Types of caching:
• - In-memory cache (e.g., MemoryCache).
• - Distributed cache (e.g., Redis, Memcached).
• • Benefits:
• - Reduces database hits.
• - Speeds up response time.
• • Example: Caching product data in memory.
Pagination
• • Divides large datasets into smaller,
manageable chunks.
• • Common strategies:
• - Limit and offset.
• - Cursor-based pagination.
• • Benefits:
• - Improves performance for large datasets.
• - Reduces bandwidth usage.
• • Example: Returning 10 products per API call.
Response Compression
• • Compresses API responses to reduce
payload size.
• • Common methods:
• - Gzip.
• - Brotli.
• • Benefits:
• - Reduces data transfer time.
• - Improves user experience on slow
networks.
Hands-On: Enhancing the Product
Catalog API
• • Add in-memory caching for product data.
• • Implement pagination to handle large
datasets.
• • Enable response compression to reduce
payload size.
• • Test using Postman and analyze
performance improvements.
Tools Used
• • Visual Studio 2019 or later.
• • Postman for API testing.
• • .NET Core in-memory caching.
• • Gzip response compression.
Key Takeaways
• • Caching improves speed and reduces server
load.
• • Pagination optimizes API responses for large
datasets.
• • Response compression enhances
performance on slow networks.
• • Combining these techniques creates scalable
and efficient APIs.
