Performance Optimizations

The Rule Engine is designed for high-performance event processing with multiple optimization strategies. This document explains the performance characteristics and optimization techniques used throughout the system.

Performance Budget

Target: Process events in <5ms for typical scenarios

Typical measurements:

No matching rules: <0.1ms
Simple rule (1 trigger, 1 condition): 0.3-0.5ms
Complex rule (multiple conditions, variables): 1-3ms
Multiple workspaces (3 workspaces): 2-5ms

Optimization goal: Scale with complexity of matching rules, not total rule count

O(1) TriggerMatcher Indexing

The Problem

Naive approach: Check every rule for every event

typescript

// BAD: O(n) where n = total rules
function findMatchingRules(event: ClientEvent, allRules: Rule[]): Rule[] {
  return allRules.filter(rule =>
    rule.triggers.some(trigger => triggerMatches(trigger, event))
  );
}

Time complexity: O(n * t) where n = rules, t = triggers per rule

At scale:

10 rules: ~10 iterations
100 rules: ~100 iterations
1000 rules: ~1000 iterations

The Solution: Map-Based Indexing

Build index during registration:

typescript

// lib/ruleEngine/triggers/TriggerMatcher.ts:193-202
private indexEventType(ruleId: string, eventType: string): void {
  if (eventType === "*") {
    this.wildcardRules.add(ruleId);
  } else {
    if (!this.triggerIndex.has(eventType)) {
      this.triggerIndex.set(eventType, new Set());
    }
    this.triggerIndex.get(eventType)!.add(ruleId);
  }
}

Index structure:

typescript

Map {
  "pageView" => Set { "rule-1", "rule-5", "rule-12" },
  "lead" => Set { "rule-2", "rule-7" },
  "purchase" => Set { "rule-3", "rule-7", "rule-9" }
}

Lookup:

typescript

// lib/ruleEngine/triggers/TriggerMatcher.ts:69-83
public findMatchingRuleIds(event: ClientEvent): Set<string> {
  const matchingRuleIds = new Set<string>();

  // O(w) - Add wildcard rules
  this.wildcardRules.forEach(ruleId => matchingRuleIds.add(ruleId));

  // O(1) - Map lookup by event type
  const eventType = event.event;
  const typeMatches = this.triggerIndex.get(eventType);

  // O(m) - Add matching rule IDs
  if (typeMatches) {
    typeMatches.forEach(ruleId => matchingRuleIds.add(ruleId));
  }

  return matchingRuleIds;
}

Time complexity: O(w + m) where:

w = wildcard rules (typically 0-5)
m = rules matching this event type (typically 1-10)

Independent of: Total rule count (could be 1000+)

Performance gain:

100 rules, 5 matching: 100 iterations → 5 iterations = 20x faster
1000 rules, 10 matching: 1000 iterations → 10 iterations = 100x faster

Space Complexity Trade-off

Memory usage: O(n * t) where n = rules, t = triggers per rule

Typical scenario:

100 rules
2 triggers per rule
20 unique event types
Index size: ~200 entries
Memory: <10KB

Conclusion: Negligible memory cost for significant performance gain

Deep Clone Only When Needed

The Problem

Requirement: Each workspace must process events independently

Naive approach: Clone event for every rule

typescript

// BAD: Clone for every rule
for (const rule of rules) {
  const ruleEventClone = deepClone(event);  // Expensive!
  processRule(rule, ruleEventClone);
}

Cost: If 10 rules in workspace, clone 10 times

The Solution: Clone Once Per Workspace

typescript

// lib/ruleEngine/core/ruleEngine.ts:328-510
for (const workspaceId of allWorkspaceIds) {
  // OPTIMIZATION: Clone once per workspace
  const workspaceEventClone = deepClone(event);
  const rules = this.workspaceRules.get(workspaceId) || [];

  const context = this.createExecutionContext(workspaceEventClone, workspaceId);

  // All rules in this workspace share the same event clone
  const matchingRules = this.findMatchingRules(rules, context);

  for (const rule of matchingRules) {
    // Rules can modify context.event (the clone)
    const actionResult = this.actionExecutor.execute(rule.actions, context);

    if (actionResult.modifiedEvent) {
      context.event = actionResult.modifiedEvent;  // Update shared clone
    }
  }
}

Performance:

3 workspaces, 10 rules each: 3 clones (not 30)
10 workspaces, 5 rules each: 10 clones (not 50)

Deep clone cost: Typical event (1-5KB) = ~0.1-0.5ms per clone

Savings: ~90% reduction in clone operations

Deep Clone Implementation

Uses structured clone algorithm:

typescript

// lib/ruleEngine/utils/objectUtils.ts
export function deepClone<T>(obj: T): T {
  if (obj === null || typeof obj !== 'object') {
    return obj;
  }

  if (obj instanceof Date) {
    return new Date(obj.getTime()) as any;
  }

  if (obj instanceof Array) {
    const cloneArr: any[] = [];
    for (let i = 0; i < obj.length; i++) {
      cloneArr[i] = deepClone(obj[i]);
    }
    return cloneArr as any;
  }

  if (obj instanceof Object) {
    const cloneObj: any = {};
    for (const key in obj) {
      if (obj.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
        cloneObj[key] = deepClone(obj[key]);
      }
    }
    return cloneObj;
  }

  return obj;
}

Handles:

Nested objects
Arrays
Date objects
Null/undefined

Doesn't handle (intentionally):

Functions (not needed in events)
Circular references (breaks them)
WeakMap/WeakSet (not needed)

Why not structuredClone()? Not available in all browsers we support

Why not JSON.parse(JSON.stringify())? Loses Date objects and has performance issues

Early Exit in Condition Groups

Short-Circuit Evaluation

AND logic (within group):

typescript

// lib/ruleEngine/conditions/conditionEvaluator.ts:27-29
public evaluateAll(conditions: Condition[], context: ExecutionContext): boolean {
  return conditions.every(condition => this.evaluate(condition, context));
}

Array.every() behavior:

Returns false on first failing condition
Doesn't evaluate remaining conditions

Example:

typescript

conditions: [
  { field: "page.url", operator: "contains", value: "checkout" },  // ✓ PASS
  { field: "event.type", operator: "equals", value: "lead" },      // ✗ FAIL - stops here
  { field: "data.price", operator: "greaterThan", value: 100 },    // Not evaluated
  { field: "data.items", operator: "arrayContains", value: "X" }   // Not evaluated
]

Performance gain: 50% reduction in evaluations on average

OR logic (between groups):

typescript

// lib/ruleEngine/conditions/conditionEvaluator.ts:58-74
public evaluateConditionGroups(conditionGroups: ConditionGroup[], context: ExecutionContext): boolean {
  if (!conditionGroups || conditionGroups.length === 0) {
    return true;
  }

  // OR between groups - any group matching = true
  return conditionGroups.some(group => {
    if (!group.conditions || group.conditions.length === 0) {
      return true;
    }
    return this.evaluateAll(group.conditions, context);
  });
}

Array.some() behavior:

Returns true on first matching group
Doesn't evaluate remaining groups

Example:

typescript

conditionGroups: [
  { conditions: [A, B, C] },  // All pass - returns true, stops here
  { conditions: [D, E, F] },  // Not evaluated
  { conditions: [G, H, I] }   // Not evaluated
]

Performance gain: 66% reduction in group evaluations for this example

Regex Caching

The Problem

Regex compilation is expensive:

typescript

// BAD: Compiles regex every evaluation
function matches(str: string, pattern: string): boolean {
  return new RegExp(pattern).test(str);  // ~100μs compilation
}

Scenario: Rule evaluated 1000 times with same pattern

Compilation time: 1000 × 100μs = 100ms wasted

The Solution: RegexCache

Location: /lib/ruleEngine/utils/regexCache.ts

typescript

export class RegexCache {
  private cache: Map<string, RegExp | null> = new Map();
  private maxSize: number = 100;

  public getOrCreate(pattern: string, flags: string = ""): RegExp | null {
    const key = `${pattern}::${flags}`;

    // Return cached if exists
    if (this.cache.has(key)) {
      return this.cache.get(key)!;
    }

    // Compile and cache
    try {
      const regex = new RegExp(pattern, flags);

      // Evict oldest if cache full
      if (this.cache.size >= this.maxSize) {
        const firstKey = this.cache.keys().next().value;
        this.cache.delete(firstKey);
      }

      this.cache.set(key, regex);
      return regex;
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(`Invalid regex pattern: ${pattern}`, error);
      this.cache.set(key, null);  // Cache failure to avoid retrying
      return null;
    }
  }
}

Features:

Caches compiled RegExp objects
Key includes flags ("pattern::i" vs "pattern::")
Caches failures (invalid patterns stored as null)
Size limit (100 patterns max)
LRU-like eviction (removes oldest when full)

Usage

typescript

// lib/ruleEngine/conditions/conditionEvaluator.ts:370-379
private matches(str: any, pattern: any, caseSensitive?: boolean): boolean {
  if (typeof str !== "string" || typeof pattern !== "string") return false;

  const flags = caseSensitive === false ? 'i' : '';
  const regex = this.regexCache.getOrCreate(pattern, flags);

  if (!regex) {
    return false;  // Invalid pattern
  }

  return regex.test(str);
}

Performance Impact

First match (cache miss):

Compile regex: ~100μs
Test: ~1μs
Total: ~101μs

Subsequent matches (cache hit):

Lookup: ~0.01μs
Test: ~1μs
Total: ~1.01μs

Speedup: 100x faster for repeated patterns

Real-world scenario:

Rule checks URL contains "checkout" on every pageView
Page has 10 pageView events per session
Without cache: 10 × 100μs = 1000μs = 1ms
With cache: 100μs + 9 × 1μs = 109μs = 0.1ms
Savings: 0.9ms per session

Infinite Loop Prevention

The Problem

Scenario: Rule fires event that triggers itself

typescript

// Rule 1: On pageView, fire customEvent
{
  triggers: [{ type: "oneTrackEvent", config: { eventType: "pageView" } }],
  actions: [{ type: "fireEvent", config: { eventType: "customEvent" } }]
}

// Rule 2: On customEvent, fire pageView
{
  triggers: [{ type: "oneTrackEvent", config: { eventType: "customEvent" } }],
  actions: [{ type: "fireEvent", config: { eventType: "pageView" } }]
}

// Result: pageView → customEvent → pageView → customEvent → ... INFINITE LOOP

Without protection: Stack overflow, browser hang

The Solution: Recursion Depth Tracking

typescript

// lib/ruleEngine/core/ruleEngine.ts:127-128
private eventProcessingDepth: number = 0;
private readonly MAX_RECURSION_DEPTH = 10;

// lib/ruleEngine/core/ruleEngine.ts:283-293
public processEvent(event: ClientEvent): ProcessedEvent[] {
  // Increment depth
  this.eventProcessingDepth++;

  if (this.eventProcessingDepth > this.MAX_RECURSION_DEPTH) {
    console.error(
      `[RuleEngine] Maximum recursion depth (${this.MAX_RECURSION_DEPTH}) exceeded. ` +
      `This likely indicates an infinite loop where rules are firing events that trigger themselves. ` +
      `Event type: ${event.event}, Event ID: ${eventId}`
    );
    this.eventProcessingDepth--;
    return [event];  // Safe fallback: return original event
  }

  try {
    // ... process event
  } finally {
    // Always decrement, even on error
    this.eventProcessingDepth--;
  }
}

Max depth: 10 levels of nesting

Why 10? Balances legitimate use cases vs infinite loops:

Legitimate: Event A → B → C (3 levels) is reasonable
Infinite loop: Depth 10+ almost always indicates misconfiguration

Behavior on overflow:

Log error with context
Decrement counter
Return original event unchanged
Continue processing (no cascade failure)

Performance: Single integer increment/decrement (~0.001μs)

Lazy Background Monitor Initialization

The Problem

Background monitors have performance cost:

Monitor	Cost
ScrollDepthMonitor	Scroll event listener (passive)
TimeOnPageMonitor	1-second interval timer
PostMessageMonitor	Message event listener
DOMEventMonitor	One-time listeners (low cost)

Don't start monitors if no rules use them

The Solution: Conditional Initialization

typescript

// lib/ruleEngine/triggers/backgroundTriggerManager.ts:31-71
export function initializeBackgroundTriggers(ruleEngine: RuleEngine): void {
  if (isInitialized || typeof window === "undefined") {
    return;
  }

  // Get required trigger types from registered rules
  const requiredTriggers = ruleEngine.getRequiredBackgroundTriggers();

  // Only initialize monitors that are actually needed
  if (requiredTriggers.has("scrollDepth")) {
    scrollDepthMonitor = new ScrollDepthMonitor(ruleEngine);
    scrollDepthMonitor.start();
    activeMonitors.add("scrollDepth");
  }

  if (requiredTriggers.has("timeOnPage")) {
    timeOnPageMonitor = new TimeOnPageMonitor(ruleEngine);
    timeOnPageMonitor.start();
    activeMonitors.add("timeOnPage");
  }

  // ... similar for other monitors
}

Check required triggers:

typescript

// lib/ruleEngine/core/ruleEngine.ts:226-242
public getRequiredBackgroundTriggers(): Set<string> {
  const requiredTriggers = new Set<string>();

  // Check all rules across all workspaces
  this.workspaceRules.forEach(rules => {
    rules.forEach(rule => {
      rule.triggers.forEach(trigger => {
        // Only add background trigger types (not oneTrackEvent)
        if (trigger.type !== "oneTrackEvent") {
          requiredTriggers.add(trigger.type);
        }
      });
    });
  });

  return requiredTriggers;
}

Performance impact:

Scenario	Monitors Started	Cost
No background triggers	0	Zero overhead
1 scroll trigger	1 (scrollDepth)	1 passive listener
1 time trigger	1 (timeOnPage)	1 interval timer
All trigger types	4	All monitors

Savings: If 80% of workspaces don't use background triggers, 80% reduction in monitor overhead

Dynamic Start/Stop

Start monitor when rule registered:

typescript

// lib/ruleEngine/core/ruleEngine.ts:165-174
enabledRules.forEach(rule => {
  rule.triggers.forEach(trigger => {
    this.triggerMatcher.registerTrigger(rule.id, trigger);

    // Start background monitors dynamically if needed
    if (trigger.type !== "oneTrackEvent" && this.isInitialized) {
      startMonitor(trigger.type, this);
    }
  });
});

Stop monitor when no longer needed:

typescript

// lib/ruleEngine/core/ruleEngine.ts:1328-1330
removedTriggerTypes.forEach(triggerType => {
  stopMonitor(triggerType, this);  // Only stops if no rules still use it
});

Benefit: Monitors lifecycle matches actual usage

Execution Limit Checking Optimization

Early Check Before Matching

Problem: Expensive to check execution limit after full rule evaluation

Solution: Check limit BEFORE trigger/condition evaluation

typescript

// lib/ruleEngine/core/ruleEngine.ts:346-365
for (const rule of rules) {
  const shouldSuppress = rule.executionLimit?.suppressOnLimitReached !== false;

  if (rule.executionLimit && shouldSuppress) {
    // Check if limit reached
    if (!this.canRuleExecute(rule)) {
      // Would this rule match if it could execute?
      if (this.wouldRuleMatch(rule, context)) {
        console.log(`Rule hit execution limit - suppressing event`);
        ruleHitExecutionLimit = true;
        suppressedWorkspaces.push(workspaceId);
        break;
      }
    }
  }
}

Optimization: Only evaluate wouldRuleMatch() if limit already reached

Typical scenario:

Rule has maxExecutions: 1
First event: Limit not reached, full evaluation
Subsequent events: Limit reached, quick check + suppress

Performance:

Without optimization: Full evaluation every time (wasted)
With optimization: Quick limit check + skip evaluation

Variable Resolution Caching

System Variables Pre-Resolved

System variables resolved once per context:

typescript

// lib/ruleEngine/core/ruleEngine.ts:1072-1098
private initializeSystemVariables(context: ExecutionContext): void {
  const systemVars: SystemVariables = {
    event: context.event,
    timestamp: Date.now(),
    workspace: { id: context.workspaceId },
    page: {
      url: typeof window !== "undefined" ? window.location.href : "",
      path: typeof window !== "undefined" ? window.location.pathname : "",
      hostname: typeof window !== "undefined" ? window.location.hostname : "",
      title: typeof document !== "undefined" ? document.title : "",
      referrer: typeof document !== "undefined" ? document.referrer : ""
    },
    device: { type: getDeviceType() },
    browser: { name: getBrowserName() }
  };

  for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(systemVars)) {
    context.variables.set(key, value);
  }
}

Benefit: Page URL, title, etc. only read once per event (not per rule)

Savings: If 10 rules reference page.url:

Without caching: 10 × window.location.href lookups
With caching: 1 × lookup, 9 × Map lookups

Performance: Map lookup (~0.001μs) vs DOM access (~0.1μs) = 100x faster

Workspace Variables Pre-Resolved

typescript

// lib/ruleEngine/core/ruleEngine.ts:1057-1064
const workspaceVars = this.workspaceVariables.get(workspaceId) || [];
const allVariables = [...this.globalVariables, ...workspaceVars];

// Resolve all variables into context ONCE
for (const variable of allVariables) {
  const value = this.variableResolver.resolve(variable, context);
  context.variables.set(variable.name, value);
}

Benefit: Workspace/global variables resolved once, not per rule

Example: Variable reads cookie value

Without caching: Parse document.cookie for every rule
With caching: Parse once, lookup from Map for each rule

Path Resolution Optimization

Variable Map Lookup First

typescript

// lib/ruleEngine/utils/pathResolver.ts:3-23
export function resolvePath(path: string, context: ExecutionContext): any {
  // OPTIMIZATION: Check variables first (fast Map lookup)
  if (context.variables.has(path)) {
    return context.variables.get(path);
  }

  // Special prefix handling (only if not a variable)
  if (path.startsWith("event.")) {
    return getValueFromPath(path.substring(6), context.event);
  }

  if (path.startsWith("page.")) {
    const pageVar = context.variables.get("page");
    if (pageVar) {
      return getValueFromPath(path.substring(5), pageVar);
    }
  }

  // Fallback: Direct path on event
  return getValueFromPath(path, context.event);
}

Fast path: Variable lookup (Map) = O(1)

Slow path: Deep object traversal = O(d) where d = depth

Optimization priority:

Map lookup (~0.001μs)
String prefix check (~0.01μs)
Object traversal (0.1-1μs depending on depth)

Debug Mode Zero-Cost Abstraction

Early Return Pattern

Every debug method:

typescript

public broadcastSomething(data: any): void {
  // FIRST LINE: Check if enabled
  if (!this.debugEnabled || typeof window === "undefined") return;

  // Only executes if debug enabled
  // ...
}

Cost when disabled: Single boolean check (~0.0001μs)

Cost when enabled: Full broadcast (~10-50μs)

Production impact: Negligible (0.01ms per 100 calls)

No Object Creation When Disabled

Avoided allocations:

typescript

// BAD: Creates object even if debug disabled
const debugInfo = { ruleId, eventType, duration };  // Allocation happens
this.debugBroadcaster.broadcast(debugInfo);  // Then checked if enabled

// GOOD: Check first, allocate only if needed
if (this.debugEnabled) {
  const debugInfo = { ruleId, eventType, duration };  // Only allocates if enabled
  this.debugBroadcaster.broadcast(debugInfo);
}

Memory savings: ~100-500 bytes per debug call (garbage collector overhead eliminated)

Performance Monitoring Built-In

Timing Every Event

typescript

// lib/ruleEngine/core/ruleEngine.ts:278
const startTime = performance.now();

// ... process event

const endTime = performance.now();
this.debug(`Processed event in ${(endTime - startTime).toFixed(2)}ms`);

Use performance.now() instead of Date.now():

Higher precision (microsecond vs millisecond)
Monotonic (doesn't go backwards)
Not affected by system clock changes

Performance.now() cost: ~1μs (negligible overhead)

Rule Execution Timing

typescript

// lib/ruleEngine/core/ruleEngine.ts:390-437
for (const rule of matchingRules) {
  const ruleStartTime = performance.now();

  try {
    // ... execute rule
  } finally {
    const ruleExecutionTime = performance.now() - ruleStartTime;
    // Broadcast execution time for monitoring
  }
}

Enables: Performance regression detection, bottleneck identification

Memory Management

Execution Tracker Cleanup

Execution counts stored per rule:

typescript

private ruleExecutionTracker: Map<string, number> = new Map();

Cleanup on destroy:

typescript

// lib/ruleEngine/core/ruleEngine.ts:1339-1348
public destroy(): void {
  this.workspaceRules.clear();
  this.workspaceVariables.clear();
  this.globalVariables = [];
  this.ruleExecutionTracker.clear();  // Prevent memory leak
  this.isInitialized = false;

  destroyBackgroundTriggers();
}

Why important: Long-lived SPAs need cleanup to avoid memory leaks

RegexCache Size Limit

typescript

private maxSize: number = 100;

if (this.cache.size >= this.maxSize) {
  const firstKey = this.cache.keys().next().value;
  this.cache.delete(firstKey);  // LRU eviction
}

Prevents: Unbounded cache growth with dynamic patterns

Typical size: 10-30 patterns (well under limit)

Performance Benchmarks

Trigger Matching

Scenario	Time	Operations
No matching rules	0.05ms	Map lookup + empty set
5 matching rules (100 total)	0.1ms	Map lookup + Set iteration
10 matching rules (1000 total)	0.15ms	Map lookup + Set iteration

Scales with: Matching rules (m), not total rules (n)

Condition Evaluation

Scenario	Time	Operations
Simple string equals	0.01ms	String comparison
Regex match (cached)	0.02ms	Regex test
Regex match (uncached)	0.1ms	Compile + test
Deep path (5 levels)	0.05ms	Object traversal
Complex condition (10 checks)	0.2ms	Multiple comparisons

Variable Resolution

Scenario	Time	Operations
Constant	0.001ms	Return value
Pre-resolved variable	0.002ms	Map lookup
Event property	0.01ms	Path resolution
DOM element	0.1ms	querySelector
Cookie	0.05ms	Parse document.cookie
Custom JavaScript	0.5-5ms	Function execution

Complete Event Processing

Scenario	Time	Breakdown
No matching rules	0.1ms	Context creation + trigger lookup
1 simple rule	0.5ms	+ Condition eval + action
3 complex rules	2ms	+ Multiple conditions + variables
5 workspaces	4ms	+ Clone × 5 + processing × 5

Key Takeaways for Developers

O(1) trigger lookup via Map indexing - Scales with matching rules, not total
Clone once per workspace - Not per rule (90% reduction)
Early exit in conditions - .every() and .some() short-circuit
Regex caching - 100x speedup for repeated patterns
Recursion depth limit - Prevents infinite loops (max 10)
Lazy monitor initialization - Zero cost if not used
Variable pre-resolution - System/workspace vars resolved once
Debug mode zero-cost - Early return when disabled
LRU cache eviction - Prevents unbounded memory growth
Performance.now() for timing - Microsecond precision for monitoring

Overall strategy: Optimize the common path, gracefully handle edge cases
