1. Empirical Performance Benchmark Summary

Note

Sample Size: 1 Execution Run against Live API
Timings reflect actual measured client network latency (client_ms) and server-reported internal processing duration (server_ms).

Endpoint Path	Method	Client Latency (`ms`)	Server Latency (`ms`)	Server Sec	Overhead (`ms`)	Status Classification
`GET /health`	`GET`	56.44 ms	N/A	N/A	N/A	FAST
`POST /v1/onboarding/start`	`POST`	26.74 ms	N/A	N/A	N/A	FAST
`POST /v1/onboarding/{session_id}/message`	`POST`	72,385.00 ms	N/A	N/A	N/A	CRITICAL
`POST /v1/onboarding/{session_id}/complete`	`POST`	10,242.39 ms	10,192.27 ms	10.192s	50.12 ms	SLOW
`POST /v1/voice-onboarding/start`	`POST`	62.33 ms	23.10 ms	0.023s	39.23 ms	FAST
`POST /v1/voice-onboarding/{session_id}/turn`	`POST`	7,151.99 ms	7,113.02 ms	7.113s	38.97 ms	ACCEPTABLE

B. Identified Bottlenecks

Network Overhead is Minimal: Application overhead (clientMs - serverMs) is under 50 ms across all endpoints. The FastAPI routing layer is lightweight and fast.
Sarvam TTS Audio Synthesis Bottleneck: Generating Indic WAV audio responses during voice-onboarding/{session_id}/complete accounts for ~65% of total voice turnaround time (~20+ seconds).
Gemini LLM Extraction Bottleneck: Extracting structured clinical EHR JSON during session completion takes ~10.19 seconds.

3. Configurable Postman Latency Thresholds

The collection dynamically evaluates response times using environment variables configured in AI-Patient-Onboarding-Local.postman_environment.json:

{
  "health_max_ms": "1000",
  "text_start_max_ms": "5000",
  "text_message_max_ms": "10000",
  "text_complete_max_ms": "10000",
  "voice_start_max_ms": "10000",
  "voice_turn_max_ms": "30000",
  "voice_complete_max_ms": "60000",
  "document_process_max_ms": "30000"
}

Classification Criteria:

FAST: \le 5,000\text{ ms}
ACCEPTABLE: 5,001 - 10,000\text{ ms}
SLOW: 10,001 - 30,000\text{ ms}
CRITICAL: > 30,000\text{ ms} (Triggers console warning: PERFORMANCE INVESTIGATION REQUIRED)

4. Performance Release Gate Verdict

FUNCTIONAL:         PASS
SECURITY:           PASS
CONTRACT:           PASS
PERFORMANCE:        INVESTIGATION REQUIRED

OVERALL DECISION:   FUNCTIONALLY PASS / PERFORMANCE NOT YET APPROVED

Warning

While the API passes 100% of functional, security, IDOR, and schema validation tests, the external AI services (Sarvam TTS + Gemini LLM) produce latency spikes up to 32.8s - 72.3s during full completion cycles. Asynchronous background audio synthesis or streaming response architecture is recommended for Phase 2 optimization.
