SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Golang benchmarking, profiling, and performance measurement enable Go developers to quantify, compare, and optimize code across revisions and environments, ensuring expectations are met.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Benchmarks and micro-benchmarks with statistical analysis using benchstat.
  • Profiling hot paths with go tool pprof and interpreting CPU, memory, and trace data.
  • CI regression detection and production monitoring with Prometheus runtime metrics.
  • Guidance on applying proven optimization patterns from the golang-performance skill.

Quick Start

Run a baseline Go benchmark, capture results, and compare against a later revision to identify performance regressions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I compare Go benchmark results between revisions using benchstat?

Use benchstat to run statistical analysis on Go benchmark outputs, comparing baseline and new revision results to quantify performance changes and detect regressions. It processes benchmark data to highlight significant performance differences.

How do I profile Go application hot paths with pprof?

Profile Go hot paths using go tool pprof to capture and interpret CPU, memory, and trace data. This identifies expensive function calls and resource bottlenecks, guiding your code optimizations effectively.

Can I detect Go performance regressions in CI pipelines?

Yes, you can detect Go performance regressions in CI by running benchmarks across revisions and comparing results with benchstat, while leveraging Prometheus runtime metrics to monitor production performance against expected baselines.

What is the best way to monitor Go production performance with Prometheus?

Monitor Go production performance by collecting Prometheus runtime metrics to track resource usage and latency. This aligns with golang-performance optimization patterns to ensure application behavior meets expectations over time.

Do I need benchstat to analyze Go micro-benchmarks?

Yes, benchstat is required to apply statistical analysis to Go micro-benchmark results. It processes the raw benchmark data to calculate variance and determine whether performance changes are statistically significant.
