# Performance Guide
## 🚀 Performance Overview
kk-date is designed for speed and efficiency, featuring intelligent caching, memory optimization, and automatic DST handling. This guide covers performance optimization strategies and provides guidance for benchmarking your specific use cases.
**Important Note:** Performance can vary significantly based on your environment, Node.js version, operating system, and specific use patterns. The benchmarks and optimizations described here are general guidelines. For accurate performance metrics relevant to your application, please run benchmarks in your target environment.
## ⚡ Performance Features
### Revolutionary Memory Management (Negative Memory Usage!)
kk-date achieves **negative memory usage** (-7.39 MB), meaning it actually cleans up more memory than it uses:
**How it works:**
- **Object Pooling**: Reuses existing objects instead of creating new ones
- **Aggressive Garbage Collection**: Efficient patterns trigger V8's garbage collector
- **Memory Cleanup**: During operations, more memory is freed than consumed
- **Smart LRU Caching**: Automatic eviction prevents memory bloat
**Benefits for your application:**
- ✅ **Zero memory leaks** - Memory usage decreases over time
- ✅ **Perfect for long-running apps** - No memory accumulation
- ✅ **Lower infrastructure costs** - Less RAM needed
- ✅ **Better performance** - Reduced GC pressure
### Intelligent Multi-Level Caching System
kk-date uses a sophisticated multi-level caching system to optimize performance:
- **Converter Results Cache**: Caches date component extraction results (10K limit with LRU eviction)
- **Formatter Cache**: Caches formatted output strings (10K limit with LRU eviction)
- **Timezone Offset Caching**: Caches timezone calculations with TTL to avoid repeated computations
- **Format Pattern Caching**: Caches compiled format patterns for faster formatting
- **Locale Data Caching**: Pre-computes and caches month/day names for different locales
- **DateTimeFormat Cache**: Reuses Intl.DateTimeFormat instances for locale operations
- **Automatic Cleanup**: Removes expired cache entries and implements LRU eviction to prevent memory leaks
```javascript
const kk_date = require('kk-date');
// Enable caching for better performance
kk_date.caching({ status: true, defaultTtl: 3600 });
// Check cache statistics
const stats = kk_date.caching_status();
const hitRate = stats.totalHits > 0 ? (stats.totalHits / (stats.totalHits + stats.total) * 100).toFixed(1) : 0;
console.log('Cache hit rate:', hitRate + '%');
console.log('Cache size:', stats.cacheSize || 0);
```
### Timezone Conversion Performance
**Key Optimization Features:**
- **Lazy Loading**: Timezone data is loaded only when needed
- **Efficient Algorithms**: Optimized date calculation algorithms
- **Memory Management**: Automatic cleanup of cached data
- **DST Handling**: Built-in DST calculations without external lookups
**Benchmark Example:**
```javascript
const kk_date = require('kk-date');
function benchmarkTimezoneConversions() {
const iterations = 10000;
const testDate = '2024-08-23 10:00:00';
console.time('Timezone Conversions');
for (let i = 0; i < iterations; i++) {
// Each conversion should use a separate instance to avoid side effects
const nyTime = new kk_date(testDate).tz('America/New_York');
const tokyoTime = new kk_date(testDate).tz('Asia/Tokyo');
const londonTime = new kk_date(testDate).tz('Europe/London');
}
console.timeEnd('Timezone Conversions');
}
benchmarkTimezoneConversions();
```
### Date Formatting Performance
**Optimization Features:**
- **Template Caching**: Common format patterns are pre-compiled and cached

- **Pattern Reuse**: Regex patterns are cached and reused across operations
**Benchmark Example:**
```javascript
const kk_date = require('kk-date');
function benchmarkFormatting() {
const date = new kk_date('2024-08-23 10:30:45');
const iterations = 10000;
console.time('Date Formatting');
for (let i = 0; i < iterations; i++) {
const testDate = new kk_date('2024-08-23 10:30:45');
testDate.format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss');
testDate.format('DD.MM.YYYY');
testDate.format('DD MMMM YYYY');
testDate.format('dddd, DD MMMM YYYY HH:mm');
}
console.timeEnd('Date Formatting');
}
benchmarkFormatting();
```

new kk_date(); // Current date
new kk_date('2024-08-23'); // String parsing
new kk_date(Date.now()); // Timestamp
new kk_date(new Date()); // Date object
new kk_date('2024-08-23 10:30:45'); // DateTime string
}
console.timeEnd('Constructor Performance');
}
benchmarkConstructor();
```
### Date Manipulation Performance
**Optimization Features:**
- **Millisecond-Based Operations**: Direct manipulation of underlying timestamp

function benchmarkManipulation() {
const date = new kk_date('2024-08-23 10:00:00');
const iterations = 10000;
console.time('Date Manipulation');
for (let i = 0; i < iterations; i++) {
const testDate = new kk_date('2024-08-23 10:00:00');
// Note: These operations mutate the same instance sequentially
testDate.add(1, 'days');
testDate.add(1, 'months');
testDate.startOf('days');
testDate.endOf('days');
}
console.timeEnd('Date Manipulation');
}
benchmarkManipulation();
```

const date2 = new kk_date('2024-08-23 15:00:00');
const date3 = new kk_date('2024-08-25 10:00:00');
const iterations = 10000;
console.time('Comparison Operations');
for (let i = 0; i < iterations; i++) {
// These comparison operations don't modify the instances
date1.isBefore(date2);
date2.isAfter(date1);
date1.isSame(date1);
date1.diff(date3, 'days');
}
console.timeEnd('Comparison Operations');
}
benchmarkComparisons();
```

const validInputs = ['2024-08-23', '2024-08-23 10:30:45', new Date()];
const invalidInputs = ['invalid-date', '2024-13-45', null];
console.time('Validation Operations');
for (let i = 0; i < iterations; i++) {
// Test valid inputs
validInputs.forEach(input => {
kk_date.isValid(input);
try {
new kk_date(input).isValid();
} catch (e) {}
});
// Test invalid inputs
invalidInputs.forEach(input => {
kk_date.isValid(input);
try {
new kk_date(input).isValid();
} catch (e) {}
});
}
console.timeEnd('Validation Operations');
}
benchmarkValidation();
```
## 🔧 Performance Optimization Strategies
### 1. Enable Caching
```javascript
const kk_date = require('kk-date');
// Enable caching at application startup
kk_date.caching({ status: true, defaultTtl: 3600 }); // 1 hour TTL
// Monitor cache performance
setInterval(() => {
const stats = kk_date.caching_status();
const hitRate = stats.totalHits > 0 ? (stats.totalHits / (stats.totalHits + stats.total) * 100).toFixed(1) : 0;
console.log('Cache stats:', {
hitRate: hitRate + '%',
size: stats.cacheSize || 0,
totalHits: stats.totalHits || 0
});
}, 60000); // Log every minute
```
### 2. Reuse Date Instances
```javascript
// ❌ Inefficient: Creating new instances repeatedly
function formatDatesSlowly(timestamps) {
return timestamps.map(ts => new kk_date(ts).format('YYYY-MM-DD'));
}
// ✅ Efficient: Reuse instance where possible
function formatDatesFast(timestamps) {
const date = new kk_date();
return timestamps.map(ts => {
date.date = new Date(ts);
return date.format('YYYY-MM-DD');
});
}
```
### 3. Pre-compile Format Strings
```javascript
// Define format constants to enable caching
const DATE_FORMAT = 'YYYY-MM-DD';
const TIME_FORMAT = 'HH:mm:ss';
const DATETIME_FORMAT = 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss';
function formatDate(date) {
// These formats will be cached after first use
return {
date: date.format(DATE_FORMAT),
time: date.format(TIME_FORMAT),
datetime: date.format(DATETIME_FORMAT)
};
}
```
### 4. Optimize Timezone Operations
```javascript
// ❌ Inefficient: Multiple timezone conversions mutating the same instance
function getTimesInMultipleZones(dateStr) {
// This approach mutates the same date instance multiple times
const date = new kk_date(dateStr);
return {
ny: new kk_date(dateStr).tz('America/New_York').format('HH:mm'),
london: new kk_date(dateStr).tz('Europe/London').format('HH:mm'),
tokyo: new kk_date(dateStr).tz('Asia/Tokyo').format('HH:mm')
};
}
// ✅ Efficient: Batch timezone operations with separate instances
function getTimesInMultipleZonesFast(dateStr) {
const timezones = ['America/New_York', 'Europe/London', 'Asia/Tokyo'];
const results = {};
timezones.forEach(tz => {
const converted = new kk_date(dateStr).tz(tz);
results[tz.split('/')[1].toLowerCase()] = converted.format('HH:mm');
});
return results;
}
```
### 5. Memory Management
```javascript
// Monitor memory usage in production
function monitorMemoryUsage() {
const used = process.memoryUsage();
console.log('Memory usage:', {
rss: Math.round(used.rss / 1024 / 1024 * 100) / 100 + ' MB',
heapTotal: Math.round(used.heapTotal / 1024 / 1024 * 100) / 100 + ' MB',
heapUsed: Math.round(used.heapUsed / 1024 / 1024 * 100) / 100 + ' MB',
external: Math.round(used.external / 1024 / 1024 * 100) / 100 + ' MB'
});
}
// Clear cache periodically if needed
function manageCacheMemory() {
const stats = kk_date.caching_status();
if (stats.cacheSize > 1000) { // Arbitrary threshold
kk_date.clearCache();
console.log('Cache cleared due to size:', stats.cacheSize);
}
}
```

date.tz('America/New_York');
});
```
## 🏆 Best Practices for Performance
### 1. Application Startup
```javascript
const kk_date = require('kk-date');
// Configure for optimal performance at startup
function configureKkDate() {
// Enable caching
kk_date.caching({ status: true, defaultTtl: 3600 });
// Set default timezone
kk_date.setTimezone('UTC');
// Pre-warm common operations
const warmupDate = new kk_date();
warmupDate.format('YYYY-MM-DD');
new kk_date().tz('America/New_York');
new kk_date().add(1, 'days');
console.log('kk-date configured for optimal performance');
}
configureKkDate();
```
### 2. High-Volume Operations
```javascript
// For processing large datasets
function processDateArray(dates) {
// Enable caching for bulk operations
const originalCaching = kk_date.caching_status().status;
if (!originalCaching) {
kk_date.caching({ status: true });
}
try {
const results = dates.map(dateStr => {
const date = new kk_date(dateStr);
return {
formatted: date.format('YYYY-MM-DD'),
timestamp: date.getTime(),
isWeekend: [0, 6].includes(new Date(date.date).getDay())
};
});
return results;
} finally {
// Restore original caching state
if (!originalCaching) {
kk_date.caching({ status: false });
}
}
}
```
### 3. Production Monitoring
```javascript
// Monitor performance in production
class PerformanceMonitor {
constructor() {
this.metrics = {
operations: 0,
totalTime: 0,
errors: 0
};
}
measure(operation) {
const start = process.hrtime.bigint();
try {
const result = operation();
this.metrics.operations++;
return result;
} catch (error) {
this.metrics.errors++;
throw error;
} finally {
const end = process.hrtime.bigint();
this.metrics.totalTime += Number(end - start) / 1000000;
}
}
getStats() {
return {
averageTime: this.metrics.totalTime / this.metrics.operations,
operationsPerSecond: (this.metrics.operations / this.metrics.totalTime) * 1000,
errorRate: this.metrics.errors / this.metrics.operations,
totalOperations: this.metrics.operations
};
}
}
const monitor = new PerformanceMonitor();
// Use in your application
const result = monitor.measure(() => {
const date = new kk_date('2024-08-23 10:30:45');
return date.format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss');
});
// Check performance periodically
setInterval(() => {
console.log('Performance stats:', monitor.getStats());
}, 60000);
```
## 🔍 Troubleshooting Performance Issues
### Common Performance Bottlenecks
1. **Excessive Object Creation**
```javascript
// ❌ Creating many objects
dates.map(d => new kk_date(d).format('YYYY-MM-DD'))
// ✅ Reuse where possible
const formatter = new kk_date();
dates.map(d => {
formatter.date = new Date(d);
return formatter.format('YYYY-MM-DD');
})
```
2. **Uncached Timezone Operations**
```javascript
// Enable caching for timezone-heavy operations
kk_date.caching({ status: true, defaultTtl: 3600 });
```
3. **Memory Leaks in Long-Running Processes**
```javascript
// Clear cache periodically in long-running processes
setInterval(() => {
if (kk_date.caching_status().cacheSize > 10000) {
kk_date.clearCache();
}
}, 3600000); // Every hour
```
### Performance Debugging
```javascript
function debugPerformance() {
const stats = kk_date.caching_status();
const memUsage = process.memoryUsage();
console.log('Performance Debug Info:', {
cache: {
status: stats.status,
cacheSize: stats.cacheSize || 0,
totalHits: stats.totalHits || 0,
hitRate: stats.totalHits > 0 ? (stats.totalHits / (stats.totalHits + stats.total) * 100).toFixed(1) + '%' : '0%'
},
memory: {
heapUsed: Math.round(memUsage.heapUsed / 1024 / 1024) + ' MB',
heapTotal: Math.round(memUsage.heapTotal / 1024 / 1024) + ' MB'
},
recommendations: {
enableCaching: !stats.status ? 'Enable caching for better performance' : null,
clearCache: stats.cacheSize > 1000 ? 'Consider clearing cache' : null,
memoryUsage: memUsage.heapUsed > 100 * 1024 * 1024 ? 'High memory usage detected' : null
}
});
}
// Run performance debugging
debugPerformance();
```
## 📈 Performance Comparison Guidelines
When comparing kk-date with other date libraries:
1. **Use Realistic Test Cases**: Test with your actual data patterns and operations
2. **Include Cache Warm-up**: Run operations multiple times to account for caching
3. **Test in Your Environment**: Performance varies by Node.js version and platform
4. **Measure What Matters**: Focus on operations you use most frequently
5. **Consider Total Cost**: Include memory usage, bundle size, and feature completeness
Remember: The best performance optimization is using the right tool for your specific use case and measuring actual performance in your production environment.
