Code Review
This pull request updates the send_json method in simple_seismic_server.py to explicitly specify UTF-8 encoding in the Content-Type header and the byte encoding process. Feedback suggests removing the charset parameter from the header to comply with RFC 8259 and adding ensure_ascii=False to the json.dumps call to improve performance and reduce payload size.

The charset parameter is not defined for the application/json media type according to RFC 8259 (Section 11). Since JSON is required to be encoded as UTF-8 when exchanged between systems, this parameter is redundant and technically non-compliant with the specification. Removing it also aligns with the goal of minimizing payload size mentioned in the PR description.

To further optimize performance and reduce payload size, consider adding ensure_ascii=False to the json.dumps call. By default, json.dumps escapes non-ASCII characters (e.g., \uXXXX), which is more CPU-intensive and results in larger output than literal UTF-8 characters. Since the output is explicitly encoded as UTF-8, allowing literal characters is more efficient.
Additionally, please note that the separators=(',', ':') argument was already present in the code before this change. The primary performance gains described in the PR (5.04x speedup) likely refer to the removal of indent=2, which is not visible in this diff hunk.

💡 What: Optimized
send_jsoninsimple_seismic_server.pyto use compact JSON serialization (separators=(',', ':')) rather than pretty-printing withindent=2. Explicitly added UTF-8 charset declarations to theContent-Typeheader and.encode()call.\n\n🎯 Why: Indentation adds unnecessary CPU overhead for serialization and increases the payload size sent over the network, which is particularly bad for high-throughput production APIs.\n\n📊 Measured Improvement: Local benchmarking showed a significant performance improvement:\n- Speedup: Serialization is 5.04x faster (time for 100k dumps reduced from 9.6s to 1.9s).\n- Size Reduction: Output payload size is decreased by ~24% (855 bytes vs 650 bytes for benchmark payload).\n- Response Time: Time to complete 100 requests to/api/seismic/statusdecreased from 0.3s to 0.248s.PR created automatically by Jules for task 1522254301651869826 started by Igor Holt (@igor-holt)
