# Exa Performance Tuning

## Overview
Optimize Exa API performance with caching, batching, and connection pooling.

## Prerequisites
- Exa SDK installed
- Understanding of async patterns
- Redis or in-memory cache available (optional)
- Performance monitoring in place

## Latency Benchmarks

| Operation | P50 | P95 | P99 |
|-----------|-----|-----|-----|
| Read | 50ms | 150ms | 300ms |
| Write | 100ms | 250ms | 500ms |
| List | 75ms | 200ms | 400ms |

## Caching Strategy

### Response Caching
```typescript
import { LRUCache } from 'lru-cache';

const cache = new LRUCache<string, any>({
  max: 1000,
  ttl: 60000, // 1 minute
  updateAgeOnGet: true,
});

async function cachedExaRequest<T>(
  key: string,
  fetcher: () => Promise<T>,
  ttl?: number
): Promise<T> {
  const cached = cache.get(key);
  if (cached) return cached as T;

  const result = await fetcher();
  cache.set(key, result, { ttl });
  return result;
}
```

### Redis Caching (Distributed)
```typescript
import Redis from 'ioredis';

const redis = new Redis(process.env.REDIS_URL);

async function cachedWithRedis<T>(
  key: string,
  fetcher: () => Promise<T>,
  ttlSeconds = 60
): Promise<T> {
  const cached = await redis.get(key);
  if (cached) return JSON.parse(cached);

  const result = await fetcher();
  await redis.setex(key, ttlSeconds, JSON.stringify(result));
  return result;
}
```

## Request Batching

```typescript
import DataLoader from 'dataloader';

const exaLoader = new DataLoader<string, any>(
  async (ids) => {
    // Batch fetch from Exa
    const results = await exaClient.batchGet(ids);
    return ids.map(id => results.find(r => r.id === id) || null);
  },
  {
    maxBatchSize: 100,
    batchScheduleFn: callback => setTimeout(callback, 10),
  }
);

// Usage - automatically batched
const [item1, item2, item3] = await Promise.all([
  exaLoader.load('id-1'),
  exaLoader.load('id-2'),
  exaLoader.load('id-3'),
]);
```

## Connection Optimization

```typescript
import { Agent } from 'https';
