BambooHR Performance Tuning

Overview

Optimize BambooHR API performance through request reduction, caching, incremental sync, and connection pooling. The biggest wins come from eliminating N+1 query patterns using custom reports and the changed-since endpoint.

Prerequisites

• BambooHR API client configured
• Redis or in-memory cache available (optional)
• Performance monitoring in place

Instructions

Step 1: Eliminate N+1 Queries with Custom Reports

The single biggest performance improvement: use POST /reports/custom instead of individual employee GETs.
