Summary

Send unit information for aggregate metrics calculated from timed metrics.

Currently there is no way to distinguish between abstract histograms and timed metrics which are represented as histograms. To disambiguate, we send the unit information with the aggregate metrics calculated from the histogram values.

We should use MetaString instead of Arc<str> because otherwise we're always allocating for a string that can be inlined.

Send unit information for aggregate metrics calculated from timed
metrics.

Currently there is no way to distinguish between abstract histograms and
timed metrics which are represented as histograms. To disambiguate, we
send the unit information with the aggregate metrics calculated from the

Explanation

Confidence level: 90.00%
Effect size tolerance: |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%

Performance changes are noted in the perf column of each table:

  • ✅ = significantly better comparison variant performance
  • ❌ = significantly worse comparison variant performance
  • ➖ = no significant change in performance

A regression test is an A/B test of target performance in a repeatable rig, where "performance" is measured as "comparison variant minus baseline variant" for an optimization goal (e.g., ingress throughput). Due to intrinsic variability in measuring that goal, we can only estimate its mean value for each experiment; we report uncertainty in that value as a 90.00% confidence interval denoted "Δ mean % CI".

For each experiment, we decide whether a change in performance is a "regression" -- a change worth investigating further -- if all of the following criteria are true:

  1. Its estimated |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%, indicating the change is big enough to merit a closer look.

  2. Its 90.00% confidence interval "Δ mean % CI" does not contain zero, indicating that if our statistical model is accurate, there is at least a 90.00% chance there is a difference in performance between baseline and comparison variants.

  3. Its configuration does not mark it "erratic".
