Python Typeguard Performance Considerations for Database I/O Wrappers
· 6 min read
When implementing runtime checks like Typeguard, the primary concern is the performance overhead it adds to production code, especially in high-throughput applications that rely on fast I/O operations (like database queries).
The short answer is: Typeguard adds a measurable execution overhead, but it is often negligible compared to the time spent on I/O (Database operations).
Here is a breakdown of the performance implications and when you should be concerned.
