In this api, we are checking the performance of placing a holding on a discovery service interface (EDS) running in the Fameflower release - 

...

1. The placing a hold request takes about 1 seconds: POST /patron/account/{id}/instance/{instanceId}/hold. 
2. Seems like the main issue is the mod-circulation instance-level request API, POST /circulation/requests/instances which is called by mod-patron subsequently.
   POST /patron/account/{id}/instance/{instanceId}/hold and POST /circulation/requests/instances show almost the same response time. In addition, mod-circulation's native item-level request code is 24.5% faster than mod-circulation's instance-level request code.
3. JVM profiling shows the slowest operations, totalling more CPU time than other calls: 
   
   1. logging with INFO level - Logging level could be reduced to WARNING or ERROR, but at the cost of having less data to work with should there be a need to troubleshoot. The most CPU consuming methods are org.folio.circulation.support.Result.next and  org.folio.circulation.support.Result.after from org.folio.circulation.support.SingleRecordFetcher, and org.folio.circulation.support.SingleRecordFetcher.fetch method
   2. JSON de/serialization - fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper.readValue method of mod-circulation-storage and mod-inventory-storage consumed high CPU resources as there were a lot of JSON decoding, this implementation could be reviewed for optimisation possibilities. The most CPU consuming methods are org.folio.rest.persist.PgUtil.streamGet from org.folio.rest.impl.InstanceStorageAPI.getInstanceStorageInstancesByInstanceId (mod-inventory-storage), org.folio.rest.impl.HoldingsStorageAPI.getHoldingsStorageHoldings(mod-inventory-storage) and org.folio.rest.persist.PostgresClient.doGet from  org.folio.rest.impl.LoansAPI.getLoanStorageLoans  and org.folio.rest.impl.RequestsAPI.getRequestStorageRequests(mod-circulation-storage)
   3. request's validation - need to consider using a more efficient request's validation instead of org.hibernate.validator.internal.engine.ValidatorImpl.validate method because it's one of the slowest operations. The slowest method is org.folio.rest.RestVerticle.route and org.folio.rest.RestVerticle.parseParams
4. mod-circulation-storage and mod-feesfines generated missing indexes warnings, see Recommended Improvements for the JIRAs that were created/covered by this testing effort.

There aren't any WARNING statements of missing indexes in mod-inventory-storage, mod-patron modules.

The following WARNING statements of missing indexes were generated during a test run and logged by mod-circulation-storage:

The slowest query which took the most of execution time was initiated by the mod_circulation_storage service presented in the following table:

...

• In mod-circulation, mod-circulation-storage, mod-inventory-storage consider using a more efficient JSON package or calling use the existing jackson serialization calls in a different way to address the item: JVM profiling shows JSON de/serialization operations one of the slowest operations.
• In mod-circulation consider using a more efficient request's validation instead of org.hibernate.validator.internal.engine.ValidatorImpl.validate method because it's one of the slowest operations.
• The following JIRAs have been created for mod-circulation-storage and mod-fees-fines:
