Performance Optimization and Benchmarking Framework #19
Description
Title: Develop Comprehensive Performance Benchmarking Suite
Description:
The project needs a systematic approach to measure and optimize performance across all components. Current performance testing is scattered and lacks comprehensive coverage.
Current State:
- Basic performance tests in tests/perf/
- Component-specific benchmarks
- Limited cross-component performance analysis
Proposed Enhancements:
- Benchmarking Framework:
- Standardized performance metrics collection
- Automated regression detection
- Performance comparison across different configurations
- Resource utilization monitoring (CPU, memory, network)
Areas Needing Optimization:
- Lean proof compilation times
- WASM execution performance in sandbox
- WebSocket real-time communication latency
- Cryptographic operations in attestation service
- Database query performance in ledger
Technical Requirements:
- Implement benchmarking framework in bench/ directory
- Create performance regression detection in CI
- Add performance monitoring to production deployments
- Document performance baselines and optimization targets
Expected Deliverables:
- Comprehensive benchmarking suite
- Performance regression detection in CI
- Performance optimization for identified bottlenecks
- Performance monitoring dashboard
Skills Needed:
- Performance optimization expertise
- Benchmarking framework development
- System monitoring and profiling
Difficulty: Intermediate
