⚡ Epic: Performance Profiling Dashboard

Goal

Build a performance profiling dashboard with flame graphs, slow query analysis, bottleneck identification, resource utilization heatmaps, and actionable performance recommendations.

Why Now?

  1. 1.4.0 Theme: "Performance" is a milestone goal
  2. Optimization: Can't optimize what you can't measure
  3. Troubleshooting: Performance issues need specialized tooling
  4. Proactive: Identify bottlenecks before they cause outages

📖 User Stories

US-1: Request Flame Graphs

As a developer
I want to view flame graphs for requests
So that I can identify where time is spent

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Flame graph visualization for tool invocations
  • Show time breakdown by component
  • Drill down into specific spans
  • Compare flame graphs across requests
  • Filter by endpoint, tool, time range
US-2: Slow Request Analysis

As an operations engineer
I want to identify and analyze slow requests
So that I can optimize performance

Acceptance Criteria:

  • List slowest requests (configurable threshold)
  • Show request details and timing
  • Group by endpoint/tool
  • Trending slow requests
  • Alert on slow request spikes
US-3: Resource Utilization Heatmaps

As an operations engineer
I want to visualize resource utilization over time
So that I can identify patterns and bottlenecks

Acceptance Criteria:

  • CPU utilization heatmap
  • Memory utilization heatmap
  • Connection pool usage
  • Database query times
  • Time-of-day patterns visible
US-4: Bottleneck Identification

As a developer
I want automatic bottleneck identification
So that I know where to focus optimization efforts

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Identify slowest components
  • Highlight resource contention
  • Show dependency bottlenecks
  • Rank by impact
  • Suggest optimizations
US-5: Performance Recommendations

As a developer
I want actionable performance recommendations
So that I know how to improve performance

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Auto-generated recommendations
  • Based on observed patterns
  • Prioritized by impact
  • Links to relevant documentation
  • Track recommendation status

  }
}

Recommendation Example

⚡ Performance Recommendations

1. HIGH IMPACT: Enable caching for 'database-query' tool
   - 340 requests/hour to same endpoint
   - Avg response time: 450ms
   - Estimated improvement: 60% reduction in latency
   [Enable Caching] [Dismiss] [Learn More]

2. MEDIUM IMPACT: Increase connection pool size
   - Connection wait time: 120ms avg
   - Pool exhaustion: 12 times/hour
   - Recommendation: Increase from 10 to 25

✅ Success Criteria

  • Flame graphs render correctly
  • Slow requests identified and listed
  • Heatmaps show utilization patterns
  • Bottlenecks automatically identified
  • Recommendations generated
  • Performance data collection efficient
