Bencher

What is Bencher?

Bencher is an open source suite of continuous benchmarking tools designed to detect and prevent performance regressions before they reach production. Integrated into CI/CD pipelines, Bencher automatically runs performance benchmarks against code changes, allowing teams to identify performance degradation early in the development process. The tool addresses a common challenge in software development: performance issues that slip through testing and impact end users. By establishing a continuous benchmarking workflow, Bencher enables developers to track performance metrics over time and catch regressions as part of the normal code review process. Bencher is built for development teams using modern CI/CD workflows who want to maintain application performance standards alongside code quality. It supports integration with popular version control systems and continuous integration platforms, making it accessible to teams already using automated testing practices. As an open source project, Bencher offers no-cost access to its core benchmarking capabilities. The tool's approach to continuous benchmarking helps teams establish performance as a measurable, trackable aspect of their development process rather than an afterthought addressed during optimization sprints.
