Catching Performance Regressions in Rails
What’s a performance regression?
What’s a performance regression in Rails?
Page load 250ms → 4s
Case Study

None
2 times slower
4.2rc3
Faster framework = Faster app
Examples from Rails commits
Metrics
Timing & Allocations
Faster Methods = Faster App
start = Time.now.to_f sleep 5 ends = Time.now puts "it
took #{ends - start}"
Allocations = GC work Less allocations = less GC work
before = GC.stat[:total_allocated_object] 10_000.times do { "key" => "value" }
end after = GC.stat[:total_allocated_object] puts "allocated: #{after - before}"

Optimize only “hot” code
Track the changes
The Idea to build a service
Track it with benchmarks
Any existing benchmarks?
None
Setup Discourse Populate records Start Unicorn with RAILS_ENV=production Make requests
with Apache Bench to the list of endpoints Print timings and memory usage

ActiveRecord Finders require_relative 'support/activerecord_base.rb' require_relative 'support/benchmark_rails.rb' User.create!(name: 'kir', email: '
[email protected]
')
m = Benchmark.rails(100, "activerecord/#{db_adapter}/finders") do User.find(1) end puts m.to_json
Disable GC is necessary Warm up the code Make N
iterations Calculate the mean timing and object allocations
ActiveRecord::Base#create require_relative 'support/activerecord_base.rb' require_relative 'support/benchmark_rails.rb' fields = { name: "Kir",
notes: "Note", created_at: Date.today } Benchmark.rails(1000, "activerecord/#{db_adapter}/create") do Exhibit.create(fields) end

The Service
What do we want? See benchmark for every commit See
benchmark for every PR Report to PR author (“activerecord became 2% slower”) See charts
