Getting Started

DeepIntShield has been rigorously tested under high load conditions to ensure optimal performance for production deployments. Our benchmark tests demonstrate exceptional performance characteristics at 5,000 requests per second (RPS) across different AWS EC2 instance types.

Key Performance Highlights:

  • Perfect Success Rate: 100% request success rate under high load
  • Minimal Overhead: Less than 15µs added latency per request on average
  • Efficient Queue Management: Sub-microsecond queue wait times on optimized instances
  • Fast Key Selection: Near-instantaneous weighted API key selection (~10 ns)

DeepIntShield was benchmarked on two primary AWS EC2 instance configurations:

  • Buffer Size: 15,000
  • Initial Pool Size: 10,000
  • Use Case: Cost-effective option for moderate workloads
  • Buffer Size: 20,000
  • Initial Pool Size: 15,000
  • Use Case: High-performance option for demanding workloads

Note: t3.xlarge tests used significantly larger response payloads (~10 KB vs ~1 KB), yet still achieved better performance metrics.


One of DeepIntShield’s key strengths is its configuration flexibility. You can fine-tune the speed ↔ memory trade-off based on your specific requirements:

Configuration ParameterEffect
initial_pool_sizeHigher values = faster performance, more memory usage
buffer_size & concurrencyControls queue depth and max parallel workers (per provider)
retry & timeoutTune aggressiveness for each provider to meet your SLOs

Configuration Philosophy:

  • Higher settings (like t3.xlarge profile) prioritize raw speed
  • Lower settings (like t3.medium profile) optimize for memory efficiency
  • Custom tuning lets you find the sweet spot for your specific workload
