What Problem This Script Solves

Integration performance degrades silently over time, causing slow data sync, timeout errors, and poor user experience. Without performance profiling, you only discover bottlenecks when integration failures occur. Manual API testing doesn't reveal latency trends, throughput limitations, or percentile performance issues.

Quick Start: How to Use Integration Performance Profiler

Get up and running in under 5 minutes with these simple steps:

  1. Profile single API endpoint
    python3 integration_profiler.py https://api.example.com/orders
  2. Profile multiple endpoints
    python3 integration_profiler.py https://api.example.com/orders https://api.example.com/customers
  3. Run 50 iterations for statistical accuracy
    python3 integration_profiler.py https://api.example.com/orders --iterations 50
  4. Save detailed report
    python3 integration_profiler.py https://api.example.com/orders --iterations 100 --output profiling_report.json

How It Works: A Look Under the Hood

This Python script performs load testing on API endpoints using the requests library. It sends multiple HTTP requests (default 10 iterations) with precise timing measurement using time.time(), calculates latency statistics (min, max, avg, median, P95, P99), computes throughput as requests per second (1000ms / avg_latency), tracks success/failure rates for reliability analysis, and identifies bottlenecks by comparing avg latency against thresholds (>2s critical, >1s warning, >500ms info). Provides recommendations for optimization (caching, async processing, pagination). No distributed load testing or complex scenario simulation - designed for quick performance profiling during integration development and troubleshooting.

Real-World Success Stories

Here's how real companies are using this script in production:

Payment gateway integration performance degradation

Profiling revealed P95 latency increased from 800ms to 3.2s over 3 months. Analysis identified inefficient payment validation logic making 5 sequential database queries. Optimized to single batch query, reducing P95 to 450ms and preventing transaction timeout failures during peak checkout periods.

Multi-system inventory sync optimization

Profiler detected 15% failure rate on product availability API (timeouts after 30s). Root cause was full table scan on 2M product records. Added database index on SKU field, reducing avg latency from 22s to 1.8s and eliminating timeout errors. Improved inventory accuracy from 87% to 99.2%.

What This Free Script Covers (And Doesn't)

This production script is production-ready and has helped thousands of Odoo deployments. However, it's designed as a starting point, not a complete enterprise solution.

Current Limitations

  • Basic performance metrics; no detailed trace analysis.
  • Single integration profiling; no comparative analysis.
  • Manual bottleneck identification required.

Common Questions & Troubleshooting

Based on 200+ support requests, here are the most common questions about this script:

  • How many iterations should I run for reliable performance metrics?

    Use 10 iterations for quick checks, 50 for development testing, 100+ for production performance baselines. Higher iterations provide more accurate percentile calculations. The Master Pack includes adaptive iteration sizing based on latency variance with automatic convergence detection to minimize test time.

  • Can this tool simulate concurrent users or load spikes?

    This free script runs sequential requests only (single thread). For concurrent load testing, use tools like Apache Bench or Locust. The Master Pack includes distributed load testing with configurable concurrency (1-1000 concurrent users), ramp-up scenarios, and sustained load profiles for capacity planning.

  • How do I profile POST requests with custom headers and body data?

    The script supports POST method but requires code modification to add headers and data. Edit the profile_api_call function to include your custom headers dict and JSON body. The Master Pack includes configuration-based profiling with support for all HTTP methods, custom headers, authentication schemes, and payload templates.

  • What's the difference between P95 and P99 latency metrics?

    P95 means 95% of requests are faster than this value (5% are slower). P99 is 99th percentile (1% slower). P95 is good for typical performance, P99 reveals worst-case tail latency. Monitor P99 for user-facing APIs to catch edge case slowness. The Master Pack tracks P50/P75/P90/P95/P99/P999 for comprehensive latency analysis.
