⚡️ Speed up method BaseArangoService.get_record_by_path by 188%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 188% (1.88x) speedup for BaseArangoService.get_record_by_path in backend/python/app/connectors/services/base_arango_service.py

⏱️ Runtime : 16.8 milliseconds → 5.83 milliseconds (best of 133 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 188% speedup (from 16.8ms to 5.83ms) and 16.7% throughput improvement through several targeted micro-optimizations that reduce Python overhead in the hot path:

Key Performance Optimizations:

1. Logger method caching - The most impactful change extracts self.logger.info, self.logger.warning, and self.logger.error to local variables at function start. This eliminates repeated attribute lookups during execution, which the line profiler shows was consuming significant time in the original version.

2. Query string optimization - Replaces the multi-line f-string with a concatenated single-line string, reducing Python's string formatting overhead during query construction.

3. Database cursor optimization - Adds full_count=False to the db.aql.execute() call, which tells ArangoDB to skip counting total results since we only need the first match. This reduces database-side processing.

4. Iterator handling improvement - Uses explicit try/except StopIteration around next(cursor) instead of providing a default value, which is slightly more efficient for the common case where results exist.

Performance Impact Analysis:
Looking at the line profiler results, the original version spent 85.2% of execution time (60.7ms out of 71.3ms total) in the db.aql.execute() call. The optimized version reduces this to 41.1% (7.2ms out of 17.5ms total) - demonstrating that both the full_count=False parameter and reduced Python overhead contribute significantly to the improvement.

Test Case Performance:
The optimizations are most effective for:

• High-volume concurrent calls (500+ operations) where the logger caching and reduced attribute lookups compound
• Mixed workloads with both found/not-found scenarios, as the database optimization helps both cases
• Small-to-medium loads where Python overhead reduction is most noticeable

This optimization is particularly valuable for database-heavy workloads where this method might be called frequently, as the 16.7% throughput improvement directly translates to better system scalability.
