CI/CD performance gates
Use repeatable performance runs as release-candidate gates with explicit latency, error, and runner-health criteria.
What this workflow should produce
- A stable gate that fails for explainable reasons.
- Thresholds tied to labels and user journeys.
- Run history that supports release review and regression analysis.
Use case
A performance gate turns a repeatable run into a release decision. The point is not to block teams with noisy tests; it is to catch performance regressions before they reach users.
How Maxoperf supports it
Maxoperf keeps the test, run metadata, results, logs, and notes in one place. API and developer entry points make it possible to wire release workflows around the same public product surface.
A practical rollout
Define one candidate profile, run it manually until stable, then automate it. Gate on the signals your team would trust in a human review: latency percentiles, error rate, assertions, and runner health.
FAQ
Should performance gates run on every commit?
Usually no. Run small smoke checks often and heavier performance gates on release candidates, nightly builds, or controlled test windows.
