MODULE 02 // LAYER ARCHITECTURE
MODULE 04 // LATENCY OPTIMIZATION

Speed Optimization.

Every millisecond matters. Adding ABIS to your stack shouldn't degrade user experience. Optimize latency through parallelization, timeouts, and intelligent request routing.

LATENCY BUDGET ALLOCATION

User experience research shows that 100ms is the threshold for "instant" response. Each layer in your stack consumes part of this budget. If your base API response is 50ms, ABIS analysis must complete in under 50ms to maintain perceived performance.

Key optimization strategies: parallel execution (call ABIS simultaneously with other services), aggressive timeouts (3-5 seconds max), connection pooling to reduce TCP handshake overhead, and strategic async patterns where real-time blocking isn't required.

Critical techniques include: request prioritization (skip ABIS for read-only operations), geographic co-location (deploy ABIS in same region as your API), HTTP/2 multiplexing for connection reuse, and payload minimization (send only essential fields).

50ms
Target P50
Median ABIS response time for optimal UX. Achievable with proper optimization.
150ms
Maximum P99
99th percentile must stay under this threshold to prevent tail latency issues.
5s
Hard Timeout
Absolute maximum wait time before failing open. Prevents cascade failures.
