Bencher - Continuous Benchmarking
About Bencherdev
From the project's README at github.com/bencherdev/bencher. Lightly cleaned for readability; for the full source see the upstream repo.
Bencher is the first continuous benchmarking platform to run your existing benchmarks on the exact same bare metal both locally and in CI. It tracks results over time and fails the PR when there's a performance regression.
Built for teams where performance matters: Databases Compilers Browsers Runtimes Networking stacks Cryptographic libraries Operating Systems
Most teams start on GitHub Actions runners with a benchmark comparison script. That approach breaks down when noisy shared CI runners hide real performance regressions. Typical CI runners: >30% variance Bencher Bare Metal runners: <2% variance
Health score breakdown
6-dimension composite. See methodology for formula and weights.
