  • @gnat thanks for the suggestion. I'll look at those questions (they have about 50 answer together, so it will take time). The main difference I could see among my question and the two you point to, is that my question is not a very generic one about huge code bases (I don't have to deal with a 200k code, luckily!). I added a few details about my code (scheduled on events by an orchestrator - extension of a method of another code - uses REST APIs - etc.). Not sure if this is enough to differentiate my question. If you don't think so, I can delete it, unless you have suggestions to improve it. Commented Aug 28, 2017 at 13:32

    You've been asked to do a few things, but to what end? Does the performance need improvement? Do you need to document what this is doing? Knowing what your employer expects you to get out of this can guide answers to be better for you. Commented Aug 28, 2017 at 13:54
  • @Becuzz good point. I will modify the question to explain what's the final goal of my task. Commented Aug 28, 2017 at 13:55
  • It helps when the code/data flow is traceable: logging and timestamp in result; maybe even more evident marking text. Commented Aug 28, 2017 at 14:22
