Description
## Summary
Implements automated performance regression detection with configurable budgets that runs in CI. This addresses item **D2: Performance Regression Detection** from the Phase 4 performance improvement roadmap.
## Changes
### 1. Performance Budget Validator (`validate-performance-budget.ts`)
- Validates HTTP benchmark results against configured thresholds
- Supports hard limits (-10% default) and warning thresholds (-3% default)
- Statistical significance-aware validation (respects `*` markers from benchmarks)
- Strict mode for zero-tolerance on any significant regression
- Clear violation/warning/improvement reporting
### 2. Budget Configuration (`performance-budgets.json`)
- Default thresholds: -10% max regression, -3% warning level
- JSON schema included for IDE autocomplete and validation
- Configurable per-endpoint (ping/query/body) and overall thresholds
- Optional `failOnSignificantRegression` flag for strict policies
### 3. CI Integration (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`)
- Runs automatically after HTTP benchmarks on all PRs
- Fails CI build if performance regresses beyond budgets
- Works seamlessly with existing benchmark infrastructure
- No changes needed to benchmark.ts
### 4. Documentation (`README.md`)
- Usage instructions and configuration examples
- Behavior documentation (✅ pass, ⚠️ warn, ❌ fail)
- Strict mode explanation
- Integration with existing benchmark workflow
## Impact
**Before:**
- HTTP benchmarks run on PRs and post results as comments
- No automated enforcement of performance standards
- Regressions only caught by manual review
**After:**
- Automated detection of performance regressions
- CI fails if performance degrades beyond configured thresholds
- Statistical significance considered (avoids false positives from noise)
- Clear feedback on violations, warnings, and improvements
**Example CI failure output:**
```
❌ Budget Violations:
❌ PING: -12.34% (exceeds budget of -10.00%) *
❌ OVERALL: -11.50% (exceeds budget of -10.00%)
Performance regression detected that exceeds acceptable thresholds.
Please investigate and optimize before merging.
```
## Performance Evidence
Tested with synthetic benchmark data across multiple scenarios:
1. **Passing scenario** (+2% improvement): ✅ Pass
2. **Warning scenario** (-4% regression): ⚠️ Warning logged, CI passes
3. **Failure scenario** (-12% regression): ❌ CI fails with clear error
4. **Strict mode** (-2% significant regression): ❌ Fails in strict mode, passes in normal mode
## Reproducibility
```bash
# Test with custom results and budgets
cd benchmarks/http-server
bun run validate-performance-budget.ts --results=./benchmark-results.json
# Use strict mode (fail on any statistically significant regression)
bun run validate-performance-budget.ts --strict
# Configure thresholds in performance-budgets.json
# Then re-run validation
```
## Validation
- ✅ All tests pass: 3802 passed, 32 skipped
- ✅ Code formatted with Prettier
- ✅ No new linting errors
- ✅ Tested with passing, failing, and warning scenarios
- ✅ Strict mode validated
- ✅ CI workflow updated and tested
## Trade-offs
**Minimal:**
- Adds ~10 seconds to CI runtime for validation step
- Requires maintaining performance-budgets.json configuration
- Teams need to calibrate thresholds based on their requirements
**Benefits far outweigh costs:**
- Prevents performance regressions from merging unnoticed
- Provides clear, actionable feedback on performance changes
- Builds on existing statistical infrastructure (confidence intervals)
- Configurable to match team's risk tolerance
## Future Work
- Consider tracking historical performance trends
- Add performance budget validation for bundle size and type-check times
- Integrate with GitHub Checks API for richer PR status reporting
- Consider performance budget profiles for different deployment targets

- Addresses roadmap item D2: "Performance Regression Detection" (Phase 4)
- Builds on statistical analysis from PR #9 (benchmark infrastructure)
- Complements existing type-check and bundle size budgets (octocov)

Implements automated performance regression detection with configurable
budgets that runs in CI and fails if performance degrades beyond
acceptable thresholds.

- Default thresholds: -10% max regression, -3% warning
- JSON schema for editor support and validation
- Configurable per-endpoint and overall thresholds

- Fails CI if performance regresses beyond budgets
- Works alongside existing HTTP benchmark

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing benchmarks/http-server/validate-performance-budget.ts and performance-budgets.json, then inspect the benchmark step in .github/workflows/ci.yml. Run the supplied Bun validation commands and review README.md for the documented behavior. Done means passing, warning, failing, and strict scenarios behave as described and CI enforces the configured budgets.
