npm install lambda-server-timingEnables Lambdas to return responses with Server-Timing Header allowing to to pass request-specific timings from the backend to the browser.
Allows a server to communicate performance metrics about the request-response cycle to the user agent. It also standardizes a JavaScript interface to enable applications to collect, process, and act on these metrics to optimize application delivery.
``
$ npm install lambda-server-timing
$ withServerTimings()
This will attach a Server-Timing header to your response headers with the timings recorded for requests.
The header looks like:
HTTP/1.1 200 OKServer-Timing: db;dur=53, app;dur=47.2
And once succesfully returned as a response header, it is shown in the Timings tab under Networks in the Chrome Devtools.
The visual example of it looks like:
This now enables developers to look throught the performance problems of their apps for not just the frontend and but also the backend.
The package also exposes the timer methods
and endTime so you can measure your methods on a regular basis and improve accordingly.
Usage - startTime/endTime
`
$ startTime('abbr', "getAbbreviatedResponse");
$ getAbbreviatedResponse({
...
});
$ endTime('abbr', "getAbbreviatedResponse");
