Summary

  • run the same composed happy-path workload through Polly and Kevlar sequentially in one process
  • measure 15 minutes of aggregate throughput, cross-thread allocations, GC collections, managed memory, and peak working set
  • publish JSON artifacts and an auto-generated stress-results docs page from scheduled and main-branch runs

Closes #47

Validation

  • dotnet build Kevlar.slnx -c Release
  • dotnet run --project benchmarks/Kevlar.StressTests -c Release --no-build -- --duration 00:00:04 --warmup 00:00:00.25 --workers 2 --output artifacts/stress/stress-results.json
  • python .github/scripts/stress_docs.py --input artifacts/stress/stress-results.json --commit local --output artifacts/stress/generated.md
  • dotnet run --project tests/Kevlar.Tests -c Release --no-build -- --timeout 5m
  • dotnet run --project tests/Kevlar.IntegrationTests -c Release --no-build -- --timeout 5m
  • dotnet run --project tests/Kevlar.Analyzers.Tests -c Release --no-build -- --timeout 5m
  • dotnet run --project tests/Kevlar.NetStandard.Tests -c Release --no-build -- --timeout 5m
  • npm ci && npm run build (docs)

The workflow uses the required 00:15:00 measured duration; local validation used four seconds.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a stress-testing tool to compare Kevlar and Polly resilience pipelines.
    • Supports configurable duration, warmup, worker count, and output settings.
    • Captures throughput, timing, allocations, memory usage, and garbage-collection metrics.
  • Automation

    • Added scheduled and manually triggered stress-test runs.
    • Publishes results and updates performance documentation automatically.
  • Documentation

    • Added stress-testing guidance, reproduction instructions, configuration options, and measurement details.

Warning

Review limit reached

@thomhurst, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 1 minute

Limit details: You’ve used all 10 included reviews currently available.

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

Wait for the limit to reset, then comment @coderabbitai review or push new commits to the PR.

An organization admin can change what happens after included review limits in Billing.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits within each organization.

For paid Pro and Pro+ reviews, CodeRabbit uses a developer's included PR review attempts over the past 7 days to set the current hourly allowance. At typical activity levels, the full plan allowance applies. Higher sustained activity can lower the allowance until earlier attempts leave the 7-day window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a .NET stress-test executable that compares Kevlar and Polly, records performance metrics, generates Markdown results, and publishes them through a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow.

Changes

Stress testing and documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Stress-test project and result contracts
Kevlar.slnx, benchmarks/Kevlar.StressTests/*
Adds the .NET 10 executable, validated command-line options, result records, and source-generated JSON serialization.
Kevlar and Polly measurement
benchmarks/Kevlar.StressTests/StressRunner.cs
Runs both resilience pipelines in one process and measures operations, throughput, allocations, memory, and garbage collection.
Result formatting and page generation
.github/scripts/stress_docs.py
Validates stress results, formats metrics, renders Markdown sections, and writes the generated page.
Workflow publication and documentation wiring
.github/workflows/stress.yml, docs/docs/performance.md, docs/docs/stress-tests.md, docs/sidebars.ts
Runs stress tests on configured triggers, stores artifacts, publishes changed results on main, and adds the documentation page to the site.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3c65a

The PR adds scheduled stress-test reporting and documentation publishing; the generated report currently omits the managed-memory metric, and the workflow can succeed before a dispatched documentation build or deployment fails. Merge is low risk but requires owner awareness and follow-up for report completeness and failure propagation.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with metrics, quick on my feet,
Kevlar and Polly now race in the heat.
JSON hops out, then Markdown grows,
A weekly workflow records what it knows.
Squeak—clean results where documentation flows!

Run Polly and Kevlar sequentially in one process for a 15-minute throughput and memory comparison, then publish the generated results to docs.
Use equivalent ratio breakers, publish managed memory, support day-prefixed durations, and wait for documentation deployment.

P2 Badge Balance the order of measured phases

Every scheduled comparison measures Polly first and Kevlar second, so any time-dependent runner or process behavior across the two 7.5-minute phases—such as CPU throttling, noisy-neighbor load, or runtime adaptation—is systematically attributed to the library in that position and can skew the published throughput ratio. Run both orders and aggregate them, or interleave balanced measurement windows, so phase-order effects do not become library effects.
