Windsurf Performance Tuning

Overview

Optimize Windsurf API performance with caching, batching, and connection pooling.

Prerequisites

• Windsurf 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

import { LRUCache } from 'lru-cache';

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

async function cachedWindsurfRequest<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)

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

import DataLoader from 'dataloader';

const windsurfLoader = new DataLoader<string, any>(
  async (ids) => {
    // Batch fetch from Windsurf
    const results = await windsurfClient.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([
  windsurfLoader.load('id-1'),
  windsurfLoader.load('id-2'),
  windsurfLoader.load('id-3'),
]);

Connection Optimization

import { Agent } from 'https';

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

const client = new WindsurfClient({
  apiKey: process.env.WINDSURF_API_KEY!,
  httpAgent: agent,
});

Pagination Optimization

async function* paginatedWindsurfList<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 paginatedWindsurfList(cursor =>
  windsurfClient.list({ cursor, limit: 100 })
)) {
  await process(item);
}

Performance Monitoring

async function measuredWindsurfCall<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 Windsurf 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

const withPerformance = <T>(name: string, fn: () => Promise<T>) =>
  measuredWindsurfCall(name, () =>
    cachedWindsurfRequest(`cache:${name}`, fn)
  );
