Handle Large File Inputs and Performance Optimization #17
Description
Ensure the PDF generation service can handle large or complex inputs efficiently without timeouts or excessive resource consumption.
Details
- Test system with large HTML/Markdown inputs (e.g., 100+ pages worth of content).
- Profile CPU, memory, and response time during conversions.
- If necessary, implement streaming PDF generation or chunked processing.
- Evaluate asynchronous job queue approach (e.g., using BullMQ or RabbitMQ) for heavy loads, returning a job ID and polling endpoint.
- Document any input size or complexity limits in the API docs.
- Add timeouts and safeguards to avoid server crashes.
Subtasks
- Benchmark and profile service with large inputs.
- Implement async job queue if needed.
- Add timeout handling and limits.
- Update docs with performance guidelines.
Acceptance Criteria
- Large inputs processed without crashing or excessive delay.
- Service maintains reasonable resource usage under load.
- Documentation reflects current limits and best practices.
