Performance and Efficiency Guidelines

To ensure optimal performance, scalability, and maintainability of the system, the following best practices must be adhered to during development.

These guidelines help reduce system load, improve execution speed, and maintain a high-quality user experience.

Minimize API Calls

Always strive to reduce the number of API calls.

Excessive API requests can lead to:

• Increased latency
• Higher operational costs
• Unnecessary load on external services
• Reduced system responsiveness

Best Practices

• Consolidate multiple requests into a single request where possible
• Reuse previously fetched data instead of calling the API again
• Avoid redundant or duplicate API calls
• Cache responses when appropriate

Use Efficient Algorithms and Methods

Always prefer algorithms and methods with lower time and space complexity.

Efficient algorithms ensure faster execution and reduced resource consumption.

Best Practices

• Choose optimal data structures based on the use case
• Avoid unnecessary nested loops
• Minimize repeated computations
• Analyze time complexity before implementation

Example considerations:

• Prefer O(1) or O(log n) over O(n²) when possible
• Use hash maps for fast lookups
• Avoid brute-force solutions when optimized approaches exist

Optimize Recursive Operations

Recursive operations can be expensive if not handled properly.

Without optimization, recursion may cause:

• Excessive API calls
• Increased computation time
• Stack overflow issues
• Reduced system performance

Best Practices

• Use memoization to store previously computed results
• Implement caching using efficient data structures such as hash maps
• Avoid redundant recursive calls
• Convert recursion to iteration where possible

Example optimization techniques:

• Memoization
• Result caching
• Dynamic programming

Implement Proper Popup and User Messages

Popup and notification messages should be clear, meaningful, and context-aware.

Poor messaging can confuse users and degrade user experience.

Best Practices

• Provide clear and actionable feedback

• Avoid excessive or unnecessary popups

• Use appropriate message types:

  • Success
  • Error
  • Warning
  • Informational

• Ensure messages help users understand system actions and outcomes

Example:

Correct:
Quotation updated successfully.

Incorrect:
Done.

Design Highly Efficient Functions

Functions should be modular, reusable, and optimized for performance.

Poorly designed functions can increase maintenance complexity and reduce system efficiency.

Best Practices

• Follow single-responsibility principle
• Avoid redundant logic
• Reuse existing functions where possible
• Keep functions small and focused
• Minimize memory and CPU usage

Function Design Principles

Good functions should be:

• Efficient
• Maintainable
• Reusable
• Readable
• Scalable

Summary

Adhering to these guidelines helps:

• Improve system performance
• Reduce unnecessary processing and API load
• Enhance scalability
• Improve maintainability
• Provide a better overall user experience

Following these best practices ensures the ERP system remains fast, efficient, and reliable.
