Timeout when trying to get diff of two files

[calexander3]

Hi there. I am getting a timeout when trying to compare these two files:
current_api.json
master_api.json

[calexander3]

It was working very reliably until Dec 14th at 3:17PM Eastern. After that, only a very small amount have succeeded. We send a hand full of requests per work day. Here are those files:
current_api-12-14.json
master_api-12-14.json

There is about 115k size difference between the working set and the failing set

We were able to trim some things for the purposes of the comparison. Less than ideal but it looks to be working again. But its REALLY close to the timeout.

current_api-1-5.json

[calexander3]

It started happening again. Here is the latest file:
current_api-1-9.json

Hi @calexander3,

Thanks a lot for sharing some many details. We do have a long standing issue on our side for API documents that extensively use references ($ref). We are working actively on this to improve the support of references which should help (a lot) in terms of performance (and prevent from reaching the timeout limit that we have set to 30s and which is already way too high!).

Unfortunately I don't have a quick answer / solution for you right now but I'll be sure to let you know here when we release the ongoing work to improve reference management on our side.

Please hang tight 😊

That's very helpful information! I noticed we had some extra mime types that we don't need and those all container $ref. I removed them and it is around 20 seconds now

@paulRbr Here are the two files that seemed to be timing out from my standpoint.
ApplicationServicesApi.json
Branch_ApplicationServicesApi.json

@paulRbr Is there any update on this issue? We started seeing this issue more frequently now!

Hi @praveenm-symplr,

Sorry for the long response time. We will release some important changes next week which should improve the timeouts. I will make sure to ping you folks on this issue as soon as our improvements are deployed in prod.

Hang tight 🤗
