Benchmeth

The super easy way to benchmark methods in a live application

class Person
  def compute
    # boom
  end
  benchmark :compute
end

Works with class methods, too

class Person
  def self.compute
    # yolo
  end
  class << self
    benchmark :compute
  end
end

Installation

Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:

gem "benchmeth"

How to Use

By default, benchmark data is written to stdout in the following format:

compute : 1000 ms

but you can easily do whatever you want with it.

Benchmeth.on_benchmark do |method_name, seconds|
  puts "#{method_name} took #{seconds} seconds!"
end

To call a method without benchmarking, append _without_benchmark to the name.

Active Support Notifications

You can switch to Active Support notifications with:

Benchmeth.use_notifications = true

And subscribe with:

ActiveSupport::Notifications.monotonic_subscribe "benchmark.benchmeth" do |*args|
  event = ActiveSupport::Notifications::Event.new(*args)
  puts "%s : %d ms" % [event.payload[:name], event.duration]
end
