Disclaimer: this is my app and the post is mostly announcement

https://jsbench.me

Long time ago, JSPerf was down for some time and since I was learning React and JSPerf was server-side app, I decided to build my own, SPA version in React. Fast forward to today... JSBench.me is out of beta. v1.0.0 is released.

What is it for?

Well, if you use(d) JSPerf, then explanation is not needed. If not, shortest description would be that it is Javasscript playground (like JSBin, JSFiddle) but for testing performance of your snippets. In the background Benchmark.js runs all tests and JSBench.me is UI for it.

Question? Do you benchmark your Javascript code?

I got a habit of doing it, more as a learning tool than a development tool. Once you realize one way of doing something is faster, you adopt it for future.

What's under the hood?

As said, it is an SPA, built with React and Mobx. Back office is relatively complex mix of AWS services: Cloud Formation, API Gateway, Cognito, Lambda and DynamoDB. So, complete project is in the cloud depending on AWS services. V1 also uses AWS SAM with Cloud Formation to build complete infrastructure from yaml files. Whole project tought me a lot and will produce several posts here, one of which is already here.

Features and what's new in this version

Other than standard test running, you always could save/publish and link your test suites. Voting is also possible. Last version (other than complete rewrite to latest libraries and Typescript) adds many UI helpers that users requested like: sorting tests (drag&drop or buttons), running individual tests in the suite, dark & light theme, manual&auto resizing of code editors, etc. More in the change log
