Claude Code helps developer slash API latency by identifying quadratic bug

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer used Claude Code to diagnose and resolve a significant latency issue in their checkout API. By feeding trace data and source code to Claude Code, they identified that orders with more than 12 items were disproportionately increasing the API's p99 latency. Further analysis revealed a quadratic time complexity bug in the discount application function, which was exacerbated by a recent feature enabling bulk orders. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates AI's utility in debugging complex, intermittent performance issues by analyzing trace data and code.

    How I Used Claude Code to Cut My API's P99 Latency in Half

    <h2> TL;DR </h2> <p>Our checkout API's p99 latency crept up to 2.1s and nobody could pin down why. I paired with Claude Code to profile it, found two dumb mistakes hiding behind "it's probably the database," and cut p99 to under 900ms in an afternoon. This is the actual debugging…
