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
Components to benchmark activerecord activemodel actionview actioncontroller activesupport
3.2 – 4.0 – 4.1 – 4.2
higher is faster
higher is faster
higher is faster
None
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
Correct benchmarks
Full app benchmark higher is faster
Full app benchmark before higher is faster

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
railsperf The prototype of the service. Built in January
