Use of AutoMapper in Discount Grpc #23

Closed DavidAJohn closed 2 months ago

DavidAJohn commented 3 months ago

While updating the version of AutoMapper used in parts of the application (in order to switch to the non-DI v13> package), it occurred to me that perhaps the Discount Grpc project should be using a custom mapper class instead - which should be quicker (but slightly less convenient).

Otherwise, we're potentially losing part of the speed advantage that Grpc offers.

The Basket API also uses AutoMapper when updating (or POSTing to) a customer basket.

It uses a call to the Discount Grpc service to retrieve any current discounts for a particular product when it is added to a basket.

Testing in Postman, I found that with 2 items in a basket the request was completing in anywhere from 125ms to 288ms.

It would be interesting to see how much could be shaved off that by using what would be a very simple, one-way custom mapper class instead of AutoMapper.
