name: benchmark-run

# Runs the committed benchmark (`just bench`) and records the numbers.
#
# This is a measurement, not a test: nothing here fails the build. Unlike
# benchmark-ab, which compares two refs inside one job, this just reports the
# absolute throughput of the current ref alongside Crow for reference.
#
# Absolute req/s is only meaningful against other runs on the same runner type,
# so compare like with like when reading the history.
#
# Non-SSL only. Windows is excluded: benchmark/Makefile depends on `nc`, `&`
# and `kill`, so it would need a PowerShell rewrite first.
