Performance

This page describes what we measure on @cosyte/deid, how, and how to run the measurements yourself. The shared method every Cosyte package follows (throughput, latency percentiles, memory, import time and bundle size, and how a pull request is compared with main) is written down in the performance standard in cosyte/config's decision records. The numbers for the current release are in Current numbers below.

What we measure today​

Nothing yet. @cosyte/deid has no benchmark and no performance regression test in its repository, so we make no claim about how fast it is or how much memory it uses. Until it has one, every number in Current numbers reads "not measured for this release", with that reason.

What the measurement will cover​

When the package is brought under the performance standard, its benchmark will measure what the standard asks of every package:

  • Throughput: by document size.
  • Latency: the 50th, 95th and 99th percentiles of a single pass.
  • Memory: peak heap and allocations over a long run.
  • Import time and bundle size of the root entry point and of each subpath.

Its inputs will be synthetic, like every fixture in this repository, so a run is the same anywhere and no patient data is involved.

What these numbers are not​

  • Not a guarantee for every input. A document much larger or more deeply nested than the benchmark's inputs is not characterized by them.
  • Not a comparison with other libraries. That is a separate suite with its own written method.
  • Not a behavior contract. Nothing here changes what a pass removes, keeps or records.

Run the benchmarks yourself​

There is no benchmark to run yet. When one is added, this section will give the command.

Current numbers​

The numbers for this section are measured on main at each release and filled in when the release is built. They are never typed by hand.
