This looks great!
I would also note that all of the performance metrics produced by the
testsuite, nofib, and (soon) head.hackage are preserved in a PostgreSQL
database on gitlab.haskell.org which can be accessed by way of Postgrest
[1]. The schema can be found here [2]. You will also find the import
tools in the same repository (but they are quite rough around the edges;
you have been warned).
The schema is probably most conveniently used via the `results_view`
view. For instance, one can request all metrics for commits in the last
month with:
$ curl
https://perf.ghc.haskell.org/db/results_view?commit_date=gt.2020-09-01
Another useful view is `deltas`, which provides compares metrics for
pairs of commits. This I have found quite useful in spotting
regressions.
Apart from curl, there are a few other options for consuming this
information:
* I have an Python notebook which has some convenient helpers for
quickly plotting things in `ghc-utils` [3]. I find this option to
have the greatest power/weight ratio for most use-cases.
* There is an incredibly hacky attempt at a web interface here [4]
(source here [5]) although it's probably best to bury this sad effort
* Sometimes I have needed to fall back to SQL for some queries; if
someone would find this useful we can arrange read-only SQL access on
an individual basis.
Regardless, this project has been gradually evolving as the need arises
for the last few years. It's been quite useful but I think it's
potential is quite under-realized.
Cheers,
- Ben
