Agenda

Extracted from benchmarking-agenda labelled issues and pull requests from the nodejs org prior to the meeting.

nodejs/benchmarking

• Investigate the time taken, and number of benchmarks in core #225
• Require cached pref much lower #202
• Add Ghost.js workload to the benchmarking #159

• Adding Node-DC-EIS micro-services workload to the benchmarks: input from @uttampawar on Node-DC-EIS #78
• Adding npm workload to the benchmarks for the (new) Developer tooling: Node.js use case.
  • What should the workload be? npm install a laundry list of modules? Run through all of the npm commands?
  • To avoid network latency, I think it would be advisable to set up a local npm proxy like verdaccio. Thoughts?
• Feedback on doc: update use cases and case coverage #243
• Feedback on Candidate benchmarks #6 (any suggested workloads?)

Invited

• Benchmarking team: @nodejs/benchmarking

Wish I could attend, but I'll be traveling to Node+JS Interactive.

Suggested additional items if there's time and interest:

• Adding Node-DC-EIS micro-services workload to the benchmarks: input from @uttampawar on Node-DC-EIS #78
• Adding npm workload to the benchmarks for the (new) Developer tooling: Node.js use case.
  • What should the workload be? npm install a laundry list of modules? Run through all of the npm commands?
  • To avoid network latency, I think it would be advisable to set up a local npm proxy like verdaccio. Thoughts?
• Feedback on doc: update use cases and case coverage #243

I'm also going to be at Node+JS Interactive so I'm going to suggest we move out 1 week. Unfortunately, I'm busy at the 2EDT time slot but I could do 5EDT. @nodejs/benchmarking would that time work for people?

[mhdawson]

@davisjam all of those suggestions look like good additions to the agenda.

[davisjam]

(FWIW 5EDT on 16 Oct. works for me.)

[mhdawson]

Going to move before I forget, For those who have not responded yet, if it does not work for you please comment here and we'll try to find a different time.
