📄 1,206% (12.06x) speedup for BaseArangoService.connect in backend/python/app/connectors/services/base_arango_service.py

⏱️ Runtime : 25.6 milliseconds 1.96 milliseconds (best of 217 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized code achieves a 1206% speedup (25.6ms → 1.96ms) and 87% throughput improvement by eliminating redundant database calls and optimizing collection lookups.

Key Database Call Optimizations:

  1. Collection Existence Checks: Instead of calling self.db.has_collection(name) for each collection individually (expensive DB round-trips), the optimization caches all collection names upfront with set(self.db.collections()) and uses fast set membership tests.

  2. Database Existence Check: Similarly, sys_db.has_database(arango_db) is replaced with arango_db not in set(sys_db.databases()) to batch the database listing operation.

  3. Graph Existence Checks: The repeated self.db.has_graph() calls are optimized by caching graph names with set(self.db.graphs()) once.

Data Structure Optimizations:

  1. Edge Collection Lookup: Converting the linear search (collection_name, schema) in EDGE_COLLECTIONS to a pre-computed set lookup collection_name in edge_collection_set eliminates O(n) searches.

  2. Department Processing: The department initialization caches list(departments_collection.all()) once and creates a set for O(1) name lookups, rather than iterating the collection multiple times.

  3. Collection Reset: Uses dict.fromkeys() instead of a manual loop for resetting collections, leveraging Python's optimized dictionary operations.

Performance Impact:
These optimizations are particularly effective because database operations are I/O bound and expensive. By reducing the number of database calls from O(n) per collection/graph to O(1) batch operations, the code eliminates the primary bottleneck. The line profiler shows the original code spent significant time in has_collection calls (31.3% of runtime), which are now batched.

The 87% throughput improvement demonstrates this optimization scales well under load, making it especially valuable for applications that frequently initialize ArangoDB connections or handle multiple concurrent database operations.
