⚡️ Speed up function heartbeat by 1,139%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 1,139% (11.39x) speedup for heartbeat in skyvern/forge/sdk/routes/agent_protocol.py

⏱️ Runtime : 1.16 milliseconds → 93.5 microseconds (best of 250 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 1139% speedup by eliminating redundant object creation through response caching. Instead of constructing a new Response object on every request, the optimized version creates a single _HEARTBEAT_RESPONSE object at module import time and reuses it.

Key Performance Impact:

• Object creation elimination: The original code constructs a new Response object, dictionary for headers, and performs string operations on every call (5,822ns per hit). The optimized version simply returns a pre-constructed object (293.8ns per hit).
• Memory allocation reduction: No repeated allocation of Response objects, headers dictionaries, or string concatenation overhead.
• CPU instruction reduction: The hot path goes from complex object construction to a simple reference return.

Why This Works for Heartbeat Endpoints:
Heartbeat responses are inherently immutable - they always return the same content, status code, and headers. Since FastAPI handles the actual HTTP response serialization, reusing the same Response object is safe and doesn't affect concurrency.

Test Case Performance:
The optimization excels in all concurrent and high-load scenarios (10-500 concurrent calls), which is exactly what heartbeat endpoints experience in production. The throughput remains constant at 302,750 ops/sec because the async event loop capacity stays the same, but individual request latency drops dramatically.

Production Benefits:
This optimization is particularly valuable for heartbeat endpoints that handle health checks from load balancers, monitoring systems, and service meshes - all of which can generate high-frequency, concurrent requests where this 11x latency reduction significantly improves system responsiveness.
