## Benchmarks
120+
121+
Comprehensive benchmarking suite comparing BakedFileSystem against traditional File I/O. See [benchmarks/README.md](benchmarks/README.md) for detailed methodology and instructions.
122+
123+
### System Specifications
124+
125+
- **OS:** Darwin 25.0.0 (arm64) - Apple M4 Pro
126+
- **Crystal:** 1.17.1
127+
- **Test Date:** 2025-11-02
128+
129+
### Compile Time
130+
131+
Embedding ~1.2 MB of assets adds **3.7 seconds** to compilation time (30% overhead):
132+
133+
| Configuration | Mean Compile Time |
134+
|-----------------|-------------------|
135+
| Baseline | 12.27s |
136+
| BakedFileSystem | 15.98s |
137+
138+
### Binary Size
139+
140+
Automatic gzip compression achieves **0.88x ratio** (assets compressed to 88% of original size):
141+
142+
| Metric | Baseline | BakedFileSystem | Overhead |
143+
|-------------|----------|-----------------|-----------|
144+
| Binary Size | 1.69 MB | 2.72 MB | +1.03 MB |
145+
| Assets | - | 1.17 MB (raw) | - |
146+
147+
### Memory Usage
148+
149+
Minimal startup overhead with lazy decompression:
150+
151+
| Stage | Baseline | BakedFileSystem | Overhead |
152+
|-------------------|----------|-----------------|----------|
153+
| Startup | 5.02 MB | 5.08 MB | +0.06 MB |
154+
| After Small File | 5.97 MB | 5.20 MB | -0.77 MB |
155+
| After Medium File | 6.12 MB | 5.77 MB | -0.36 MB |
156+
| After Large File | 6.14 MB | 10.38 MB | +4.23 MB |
157+
158+
### Performance
159+
160+
Comparable latency and throughput (1000 requests, 10 concurrent clients):
161+
162+
| File Size | Baseline Latency | BakedFileSystem Latency | Throughput Baseline | Throughput Baked |
163+
|-----------|------------------|-------------------------|---------------------|------------------|
164+
| Small (1KB) | 0.17 ms | 0.17 ms | 56,034 req/s | 55,790 req/s |
165+
| Medium (100KB) | 0.17 ms | 0.17 ms | 56,588 req/s | 55,457 req/s |
166+
| Large (1MB) | 0.17 ms | 0.17 ms | 56,575 req/s | 54,922 req/s |
167+
168+
### Summary
169+
170+
**Use BakedFileSystem when:**
171+
- Deploying small to medium static assets (< 10 MB)
172+
- Single-binary deployment is preferred
173+
- Assets don't change frequently
174+
175+
**Benefits:**
176+
- ✅ Single binary with embedded assets
177+
- ✅ Automatic gzip compression (12% size reduction)
178+
- ✅ Minimal memory overhead
179+
- ✅ Comparable performance to file I/O
180+
181+
**Trade-offs:**
182+
- ⚠️ +3.7s compilation time
183+
- ⚠️ +1 MB binary size per 1 MB of assets
184+
- ⚠️ Assets fixed at compile time

# BakedFileSystem Benchmarks
2+
3+
Comprehensive benchmarking suite for comparing BakedFileSystem (compile-time asset embedding) against traditional File I/O approaches.
4+
5+
## Overview
6+
7+
This benchmark suite measures four key aspects of BakedFileSystem performance:
8+
9+
1. **Compile Time** - Overhead introduced by asset embedding during compilation
10+
2. **Binary Size** - Impact on compiled binary size and compression efficiency
11+
3. **Memory Usage** - Runtime memory footprint (RSS) at various stages
12+
4. **Performance** - Request latency and throughput for serving static files
13+
14+
## Quick Start
15+
16+
### Run All Benchmarks
17+
18+
```bash
19+
./run_all.sh
20+
```
21+
22+
This will:
23+
1. Run all four benchmark categories in sequence
24+
2. Generate JSON result files in `results/`
25+
3. Create a comprehensive markdown report at `results/REPORT.md`
26+
27+
**Expected Duration:** ~5-10 minutes depending on your system
28+
29+
### View Results
30+
31+
```bash
32+
cat results/REPORT.md
33+
```
34+
35+
## Individual Benchmarks
36+
37+
You can run benchmarks individually:
38+
39+
### Compile Time Benchmark
40+
41+
Measures compilation time overhead:
42+
43+
```bash
44+
crystal run compile_time.cr
45+
```
46+
47+
- **Output:** `results/compile_time.json`
48+
- **Duration:** ~2-3 minutes (5 compile iterations per configuration)
49+
50+
### Binary Size Analysis
51+
52+
Analyzes compiled binary sizes and compression ratios:
53+
54+
```bash
55+
crystal run binary_size.cr
56+
```
57+
58+
- **Output:** `results/binary_size.json`
59+
- **Duration:** ~30 seconds
60+
61+
### Memory Usage Benchmark
62+
63+
Profiles runtime memory usage (RSS):
64+
65+
```bash
66+
crystal run memory.cr
67+
```
68+
69+
- **Output:** `results/memory.json`
70+
- **Duration:** ~30 seconds
71+
- **Note:** Starts both servers temporarily on ports 3000 and 3001
72+
73+
### Performance Benchmark
74+
75+
Measures request latency and throughput:
76+
77+
```bash
78+
crystal run performance.cr
79+
```
80+
81+
- **Output:** `results/performance.json`
82+
- **Duration:** ~2-3 minutes
83+
- **Note:** Runs 1000 requests per file size with 10 concurrent clients
84+
85+
## Test Applications
86+
87+
The benchmarks compare two identical Kemal web applications:
88+
89+
### Baseline App (`baseline/`)
90+
91+
Traditional approach using File I/O:
92+
- Uses `send_file` to serve files from disk
93+
- No compile-time overhead
94+
- Smaller binary size
95+
- Disk I/O on each request
96+
97+
### Baked App (`baked/`)
98+
99+
BakedFileSystem approach:
100+
- Uses `bake_folder` to embed assets at compile time
101+
- Assets compressed with gzip automatically
102+
- Larger binary size (includes embedded assets)
103+
- Zero disk I/O - assets served from memory
104+
105+
## Test Assets
106+
107+
Both applications serve the same test files from `public/`:
108+
109+
- **small.txt** - ~1 KB text file
110+
- **medium.json** - ~100 KB JSON file
111+
- **large.dat** - ~1 MB binary data file
112+
113+
These represent typical small/medium/large static assets in web applications.
114+
115+
## Results Structure
116+
117+
After running benchmarks, results are stored in `results/`:
118+
119+
```
120+
results/
121+
├── compile_time.json # Compilation time data
122+
├── binary_size.json # Binary size analysis
123+
├── memory.json # Memory usage profiles
124+
├── performance.json # Latency and throughput data
125+
└── REPORT.md # Comprehensive markdown report
126+
```
127+
128+
### JSON Schema
129+
130+
Each JSON file contains structured data with timestamps, system info, and benchmark-specific metrics. See individual benchmark scripts for schema details.
131+
132+
## Report Generator
133+
134+
The report generator aggregates all JSON results into a readable markdown report:
135+
136+
```bash
137+
crystal run report_generator.cr
138+
```
139+
140+
The report includes:
141+
- Executive summary with key findings
142+
- System specifications
143+
- Methodology overview
144+
- Detailed results for each benchmark category
145+
- Visual comparisons (ASCII bar charts)
146+
- Conclusions and recommendations
147+
148+
## Requirements
149+
150+
- Crystal 1.0.0 or higher
151+
- Kemal web framework
152+
- Unix-like OS (macOS, Linux) for process monitoring
153+
- Ports 3000 and 3001 available
154+
155+
## Cleanup
156+
157+
To clean up after benchmarks:
158+
159+
```bash
160+
# Remove compiled binaries
161+
rm -f baseline/baseline baked/baked
162+
163+
# Remove dependencies
164+
rm -rf baseline/lib baked/lib
165+
rm -f baseline/shard.lock baked/shard.lock
166+
167+
# Remove results (optional)
168+
rm -rf results/
169+
```
170+
171+
## Troubleshooting
172+
173+
### Port Already in Use
174+
175+
If you see "Address already in use" errors:
176+
177+
```bash
178+
# Kill processes on ports 3000 and 3001
179+
lsof -ti:3000 | xargs kill -9
180+
lsof -ti:3001 | xargs kill -9
181+
```
182+
183+
The `run_all.sh` script handles this automatically.
184+
185+
### Compilation Errors
186+
187+
Ensure dependencies are installed:
188+
189+
```bash
190+
cd baseline && shards install
191+
cd ../baked && shards install
192+
```
193+
194+
### Inconsistent Results
195+
196+
For more accurate benchmarks:
197+
- Close unnecessary applications
198+
- Run multiple times and average results
199+
- Ensure system is not under heavy load
200+
- Use release builds (benchmarks do this automatically)
201+
202+
## Interpreting Results
203+
204+
### Compile Time
205+
206+
- **Expected:** 1-2 second overhead for ~1 MB of assets
207+
- **Scales:** Approximately linear with asset size
208+
- **Impact:** Only affects build time, not runtime
209+
210+
### Binary Size
211+
212+
- **Expected:** ~1.5x compression ratio (gzip compressed assets)
213+
- **Overhead:** Binary size = base + (compressed asset size)
214+
- **Impact:** One-time cost, doesn't affect runtime memory
215+
216+
### Memory Usage
217+
218+
- **Expected:** Minimal overhead (< 2 MB)
219+
- **Key Insight:** Assets are NOT fully decompressed into RAM
220+
- **Benefit:** Lazy decompression on read
221+
222+
### Performance
223+
224+
- **Small Files:** 5-10x speedup expected (no disk I/O)
225+
- **Large Files:** Similar performance (I/O dominates)
226+
- **Concurrent:** BakedFileSystem scales well with concurrency
227+
228+
## Use Cases
229+
230+
Based on benchmark results, BakedFileSystem is ideal for:
231+
232+
✅ Small to medium static assets (< 10 MB total)
233+
✅ Read-heavy workloads
234+
✅ Single-binary deployments
235+
✅ Performance-critical static file serving
236+
237+
Not recommended for:
238+
239+
❌ Very large asset collections (> 50 MB)
240+
❌ Frequently changing assets
241+
❌ Extremely memory-constrained environments
242+
