    A microbenchmark support library

    This is important work, at least partially addressed in other benchmark harnesses (like github.com/google/benchmark has DoNotOptimize and ClobberMemory https://github.com/google/benchmark/blob/7fad964a94da9364af1...). By and large this whole area is criminally under-examined, IMO.

    What I'd really like is for someone to put together a suite of statistical tests that reject poor performance measurements. At a bare minimum performance should look like an IID random variable when you sample it. If not, you haven't reached steady state, or there are correlations between repeated runs, etc.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
