Benchmarking Performance Basics

Measure fairly and repeatably

Performance benchmarking requires representative workloads, controlled environments, multiple runs, and clear metrics (p50/p95, CPU, memory) to compare changes reliably.

Design

Use realistic scenarios; control environment and inputs.

Run Repeatably

Warm up, run multiple iterations, record variance.

Report

Share percentiles, resource use, and setup for reproducibility.
