## Bundle Size Budget

Enforcement Strategy

1. CI/CD Integration

yaml
# .github/workflows/performance-budget.yml
name: Performance Budget Check

on: [pull_request]

jobs:
  budget-check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Build production bundle
        run: npm run build

      - name: Check bundle size
        run: |
          npx bundlesize

      - name: Lighthouse CI
        run: |
          npm install -g @lhci/cli
          lhci autorun

2. Webpack Bundle Analyzer

javascript
// webpack.config.js
const BundleAnalyzerPlugin =
  require("webpack-bundle-analyzer").BundleAnalyzerPlugin;

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    new BundleAnalyzerPlugin({
      analyzerMode: process.env.ANALYZE ? "server" : "disabled",
    }),
  ],
  performance: {
    hints: "error",
    maxAssetSize: 200000, // 200 KB
    maxEntrypointSize: 400000, // 400 KB
  },
};

3. package.json Configuration

json
{
  "bundlesize": [
    {
      "path": "./dist/js/main.*.js",
      "maxSize": "200 KB"
    },
    {
      "path": "./dist/css/main.*.css",
      "maxSize": "50 KB"
    },
    {
      "path": "./dist/js/vendor.*.js",
      "maxSize": "150 KB"
    }
  ]
}

Monitoring Plan

Real User Monitoring (RUM)

typescript
// Track Core Web Vitals
import { getCLS, getFID, getFCP, getLCP, getTTFB } from "web-vitals";

function sendToAnalytics(metric) {
  const body = JSON.stringify(metric);

  if (navigator.sendBeacon) {
    navigator.sendBeacon("/analytics", body);
  } else {
    fetch("/analytics", { body, method: "POST", keepalive: true });
  }
}

getCLS(sendToAnalytics);
getFID(sendToAnalytics);
getLCP(sendToAnalytics);

Synthetic Monitoring

bash
# Lighthouse CI
lhci autorun --config=.lighthouserc.json

# WebPageTest API
curl "https://www.webpagetest.org/runtest.php?url=https://example.com&k=API_KEY"

Performance Dashboard

markdown
**Daily Metrics:**

- Bundle size trend
- API latency percentiles
- Core Web Vitals scores
- Page load times

**Alerts:**

- Bundle size exceeds budget by 10%
- LCP >2.5s for >5% of users
- API p95 >500ms
- Any metric exceeds budget

Optimization Strategies

Reduce Bundle Size

typescript
// Code splitting
const ProductPage = lazy(() => import("./ProductPage"));

// Tree shaking
import { specific } from "library"; // ✅
import * as library from "library"; // ❌

// Dynamic imports
if (featureFlag) {
  const module = await import("./feature");
}

Optimize API Calls

typescript
// Parallel requests
const [user, orders] = await Promise.all([fetchUser(id), fetchOrders(id)]);

// Caching
const cachedData = await redis.get(key);
if (cachedData) return cachedData;

// Pagination
const products = await db.products
  .find()
  .limit(20)
  .skip((page - 1) * 20);

Optimize Database Queries

sql
-- Add indexes
CREATE INDEX idx_orders_user_created ON orders(user_id, created_at);

-- Limit columns
SELECT id, name FROM products; -- ✅
SELECT * FROM products;        -- ❌

-- Use EXPLAIN
EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT ...;

Budget Violation Response

When Budget Exceeded

  1. Immediate:

    • Block PR from merging
    • Notify team in Slack
    • Create ticket
  2. Within 24 hours:

    • Investigate cause
    • Identify optimization opportunities
    • Propose fix or budget increase
  3. Decision:

    • Fix code (preferred)
    • Increase budget (requires justification)

Budget Increase Request Template

markdown
## Budget Increase Request

**Component:** Main JS bundle
**Current Budget:** 200 KB
**Requested Budget:** 250 KB
**Reason:** Added critical feature X

**Impact Analysis:**

- Load time increase: +0.5s
- User impact: Medium
- Revenue impact: Unknown

**Alternatives Considered:**

1. Code splitting: Reduces to 210 KB (preferred)
2. Remove feature Y: Reduces to 195 KB (rejected)
3. Lazy loading: Complex, 3 weeks effort

**Recommendation:** Implement code splitting

Best Practices

  1. Set realistic budgets: Based on user data
  2. Enforce in CI: Automated checks
  3. Monitor continuously: RUM + synthetic
  4. Review quarterly: Adjust as needed
  5. Prioritize UX: User-centric metrics
  6. Document exceptions: Why budget increased
  7. Celebrate wins: When under budget
