⚡ Pipeline Performance Analysis
I analyzed the complete flow from PropertyMe FTP upload through to Webflow publish. Here's what I found and how we can speed things up.
🔍 Current Pipeline Flow
PropertyMe → FTP Upload → XML Parse → Image Processing → Webflow Publish ~50ms ~5-60s/image ~500ms-2s ↑ BIGGEST BOTTLENECK
🚨 Identified Bottlenecks
| Issue | Impact | Location |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Sequential image processing | Images processed one-by-one. 10 images = 10x delay | image-processor.ts:250 |
| 2. Webflow item lookup | Paginates through ALL items to find existing listing | webflow-client.ts:439 |
| 3. Geocoding per listing | Google Maps API call for every listing | webflow-client.ts:494 |
| 4. 30s publish debounce | Intentional delay, but could be smarter | publish-debounce.ts:14 |
🚀 Recommended Improvements
1. Parallel Image Processing (High Impact)
Currently images are processed sequentially. Processing 3-5 images in parallel would cut image time by 60-80%.
Change: Use Promise.all() with a concurrency limit (e.g., 5) instead of sequential loop
Estimated gain: 10 images: 60s → 15s
2. Webflow Item Cache (High Impact)
Every listing does a full collection scan to find existing items. A local cache of uniqueID → itemId mappings would eliminate this.
Change: Maintain JSON file with uniqueID → Webflow itemId mappings. Refresh daily or on 404.
Estimated gain: 500ms-2s → 0ms per listing
3. Geocoding Cache (Medium Impact)
Same property address gets geocoded on every update. Cache geocoding results by address string.
Change: Store address → lat/lng/placeId in JSON file. Only geocode new addresses.
Estimated gain: 200-500ms per repeat update
4. Smart Publish Debounce (Low Impact)
Current 30s fixed delay. Could use adaptive timing based on upload patterns.
Change: Start at 10s, extend only if more uploads detected within window
Estimated gain: 10-20s faster for single listings
5. Image Change Detection (Future)
Currently re-processes all images even if only price/status changed. Check source image ETags or hashes.
Change: Store source URL hashes, skip konimage if unchanged
Estimated gain: Skip 5-60s for status-only updates
📊 Estimated Impact Summary
| Scenario | Current | After Changes | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| New listing (10 images) | ~65s | ~18s | 72% faster |
| Price/status update | ~65s | ~2s | 97% faster |
| Batch of 10 listings | ~11 min | ~3 min | 73% faster |
Recommended Priority Order
- #1 Parallel images — Biggest win, minimal code change (wrap in Promise.all)
- #2 Webflow item cache — Major win for updates, needs new JSON file
- #3 Geocoding cache — Medium win, simple JSON cache
- #4 Image change detection — Great for price updates, needs hash tracking
