Benchmarks in CI: Escaping the Cloud Chaos


Struggling with unreliable benchmarking in CI? Learn how CodSpeed Macro Runners reduce variance and false positives, making continuous performance checks finally practical in your workflow.

Performance regressions can hide functional bugs: A sudden slowdown might point to deeper issues, like accidental O( n 2)\mathcal{O}(n^2) O( n 2) logic or misuse of an API, which won't necessarily show up in unit tests. And just better performance overall means happier users, lower costs, better developer feedback loops, and less time spent debugging post-deploy slowdowns. We'll soon publish a deep dive to share how we built this infrastructure, from choosing the hardware to the stability tweaks we had to layer on top of the OS, and why these details matter so much when you're chasing < 1% regressions.
