How I Improved My Node.js API Response Time by 40%

As developers, we all hate slow APIs, and recently, mine started crawling during peak traffic.

So, I rolled up my sleeves and went deep into:

• Identifying bottlenecks using clinic.js and express-status-monitor

• Optimizing MongoDB queries (with .lean() and indexes)

• Slimming down middleware and removing redundancies

• Enabling caching with Redis and GZIP compression

• Cleaning up async logic with Promise.all() and async/await

• And even... removing all console.log() from production 🚫

📉 Result?
Reduced average response time from 700ms to 400ms (~40% improvement!)
