Go Gin Benchmarks Example

Example repository demonstrating how to benchmark a Gin HTTP API with CodSpeed.

Running the API

# Install dependencies
go mod tidy

# Run the server
go run api.go

The API will be available at http://localhost:8080 with these endpoints:

• GET /albums - List all albums
• GET /albums/:id - Get album by ID
• POST /albums - Create a new album

Running Benchmarks

# Run all benchmarks
go test -bench=.

# Run with longer benchmark time for more accurate results
go test -bench=. -benchtime=5s

CI Workflow

The repository uses GitHub Actions with CodSpeed to:

• Run benchmarks on every pull request using codspeed-macro runners
• Track performance changes over time
• Automatically comment on PRs with performance impact
