SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Performance bottlenecks and regressions hinder software reliability; libperf provides deterministic measurement tools to quantify execution time and memory usage.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Benchmark function: run multiple iterations to collect timing and memory data.
  • Validate constraints: enforce max duration, max memory, and scaling behavior to guard against regressions.
  • Scaling analysis: compare performance across input sizes to detect linear vs sublinear growth.
  • Integration in CI: easily plug into pipelines to catch performance regressions early.

Quick Start

Run a benchmark on a function with 100 iterations and verify duration and memory against thresholds.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect performance bottlenecks and memory regressions in Node.js?

To detect performance bottlenecks in Node.js, benchmark code execution time and memory usage across multiple iterations. This approach identifies latency issues and validates scaling behavior against defined constraints to prevent regressions.

What's the best way to catch performance regressions in a CI pipeline?

The best way to catch performance regressions in CI is integrating benchmarking tools that enforce maximum duration and memory constraints. This validates scaling behavior and provides structured diagnostics early in the development cycle.

How does benchmarking analyze scaling behavior across different input sizes?

Scaling analysis compares benchmark metrics across varying input sizes to detect linear versus sublinear performance growth. This deterministic measurement identifies bottlenecks and validates that code scaling meets expected performance constraints.

Can I validate maximum memory usage and latency thresholds during development?

Yes, you can validate maximum memory usage and latency thresholds during development by running benchmarks with enforced constraints. This guards against regressions by failing when execution time or memory exceeds defined limits.

How do you handle outliers when measuring code execution time?

Handling outliers when measuring code execution time involves deterministic measurement tools that provide structured diagnostics. This ensures accurate benchmarking by filtering anomalous data points and validating true performance scaling behavior.
