  • Automated artifact management with 90-day retention
  • Smart PR commenting with performance reports and comparisons

Intelligent Performance Tracking

  • Automated data storage with commit metadata and environment details
  • Baseline comparison system with configurable regression thresholds

ELI5: what does this do?

Also do we need to do this to test.yml too or is it irrelevant?

ELI5: Concurrency Control

The concurrency section prevents multiple performance tests from running at the same time for the same branch.

Think of it like this:

  • Imagine you have a kitchen (your GitHub Actions runner)
  • You don't want 2 chefs (workflows) cooking the same recipe (testing the same branch) at the same time
  • They'd interfere with each other and make a mess

What it does:

concurrency:
  group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}  # Creates unique ID like "perf-main" or "perf-feature-branch"
  cancel-in-progress: true                           # Cancel old test if new one starts

Why we need this:

  • If you push 2 commits quickly, GitHub might try to run performance tests for both
  • Performance tests need consistent conditions to be accurate
  • Running multiple tests simultaneously would give unreliable results
  • Canceling the old test saves resources and gives faster feedback

Do we need this in test.yml too?
Yes! test.yml already has the same concurrency setup (lines 22-24). It's a best practice for all workflows that can take time to run.

This is not irrelevant - it's essential for reliable performance measurements.

ELI5: workflow_dispatch

workflow_dispatch is like having a "Run Now" button for your GitHub Actions workflow.

Think of it like this:

  • Normally, GitHub Actions only run automatically when something happens (like pushing code)
  • workflow_dispatch adds a manual "Start" button that you can press anytime
  • It's like having a remote control for your workflow

What it does:

on:
  push: ...           # Runs automatically when you push code
  pull_request: ...   # Runs automatically when you create/update PR
  schedule: ...       # Runs automatically on a timer
  workflow_dispatch:  # Runs manually when YOU click the button

Where to find the button:

  1. Go to your GitHub repo
  2. Click the "Actions" tab
  3. Click on "⚡ Performance Testing" workflow
  4. You'll see a "Run workflow" button on the right side

Why this is useful:

  • Testing: You want to test the performance pipeline without making a commit
  • Debugging: Something seems wrong and you want to run it manually to investigate
  • On-demand: You want fresh performance metrics right now, not wait for the next push
  • Verification: After fixing something, you want to verify it works immediately

Example scenarios:

  • "I think I found a performance bug, let me run the perf tests to confirm"
  • "I want to check our current performance before starting optimization work"
  • "The nightly run failed, let me manually trigger it to see what's wrong"

It's basically giving you full control over when performance tests run, not just waiting for automatic triggers.

- Move perf-compare.js to .github/workflows/scripts/ for better organization
- Add exhaustive documentation to benchmark.rs module with detailed function commentary
- Add comprehensive header documentation to perf.yml workflow explaining architecture
- Format tables in perf.yml for better human readability
- Add detailed inline comments throughout workflow explaining each step
- Improve code organization and maintainability

Addresses all review feedback from PR #23 with precision and rigor.

✅ Code Formatting Fixed

The test failures were due to code formatting issues in benchmark.rs. Fixed in commit 682843f:

🔧 Formatting Issues Resolved:

  1. Trailing spaces: Removed extra spaces in doc comment lines (/// ///)
  2. Extra blank lines: Cleaned up inconsistent spacing throughout functions
  3. Doc comment formatting: Standardized format for consistency

📋 Context:

  • CI/CD was failing on cargo fmt --all -- --check step
  • The formatter detected multiple spacing and formatting inconsistencies
  • Applied cargo fmt to automatically fix all formatting issues
  • All code now passes strict formatting requirements

🚀 Status:

New CI/CD runs triggered. All formatting issues resolved - tests should now pass successfully.

Local verification: cargo fmt --all -- --checkCLEAN
