Can you recommend me some tool for performance testing of native applications to integrate into CI/CD? The idea is that I would like to test the performance change of specific changes to a code base. It's trivial to write, but I'm 99% sure something must exists, alas, I cannot find such a project.

A new Admin Update landed in my inbox. It included the interestingly-titled article "Fishing with Remora" - https://www.admin-magazine.com/Articles/Fishing-with-Remora?utm_source=Mastodon

This immediately brought a Gary Larson cartoon… and, in a way, it is totally appropriate. Image source in alt text.

🚀 Thanks to everyone who checked out DNS Benchmark Tool here on Mastodon!
I shared the release across networks, but it was the Hacker News community that really pushed adoption forward — stars jumped from 7 → 110+ and downloads rebounded to 200+/day. Still, every bit of feedback helps shape the patches (v0.3.0 → v0.3.1), so I’m grateful for the support here too.

Ever wondered what separates a baseline from a benchmark in software testing?
Baselines track your internal progress, while benchmarks push you toward external excellence.

Learn how both shape smarter testing strategies 👇

#PostgreSQL 18 just landed—and I built a benchmark dashboard comparing PG versions 12–18 using pgbench mix tests:

https://pgbench.github.io/mix/

PG18 leads in every metric:
- 3,057 TPS
- 5.232 ms latency
- 183,431 transactions
Have you tested version 18 in production yet? Any tuning tips or surprises?

Try this instead! 🧙‍♂️
Just run `mercury-test --wizard` and let the magic happen.
