Honest Perf Benchmarks for a Paid-API Compiler
The article discusses the implementation of performance benchmarks for a TypeScript compiler that utilizes paid APIs. It highlights the challenges of creating a reliable benchmarking suite, particularly in generating a consistent corpus for testing. The author emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between capability and intent when using API keys in continuous integration environments.
- ▪The TypeScript compiler processes markdown sources and relies on paid Claude APIs for cognitive tasks.
- ▪A deterministic generator was developed to ensure byte-identical output across different machines during benchmarking.
- ▪The design includes a double-gate system to prevent unintentional API usage during continuous integration runs.

Up to today there were zero performance gates on any of it.
