Introducing the Redis/Intel Benchmarks Specification for Performance Testing, Profiling, and Analysis

The Redis and Intel collaboration aims to improve the performance of Redis by automating the process of identifying performance regressions and optimizing database code efficiency through a "zero-touch" performance and profiling automation framework. This framework is designed to scale the pursuit of performance improvements across Redis components, providing insights about how software uses the platform and identifying opportunities for further optimization on Intel CPUs. The goal is to identify shifts in performance as early as possible, allowing developers to understand the impact of their code changes and enabling the design of better products. The framework fosters cross-company and cross-community standards on performance and observability requirements and expectations, aiming to automatically identify performance regressions, gain a deeper understanding of hotspots, and find improvement opportunities.
