Description
Description
Following the discussions in PRs https://github.com/openedx/openedx-platform/pull/38199 and https://github.com/openedx/openedx-platform/pull/38216, we need to conduct a performance benchmark to evaluate the impact of recent changes to the openedx-platform integrations, specifically the course listing and filtering logic.
Context
We have identified a potential performance bottleneck: certain querysets are evaluated multiple times (e.g., once for course keys/IDs and again for course overviews). We need to verify if this "chained call" approach introduces significant latency.
Scope
Primary Focus: Benchmark endpoints related to filtering by course and organization (identified as high-priority/high-impact).
Baseline: Measure performance with the current feature flags OFF.
Comparison: Measure performance with the new integration logic (PR #38199 & PR #38216) enabled.
