Performance

Track response time trends, health grades, and spot regressions across sessions.

Health Grades

Brakit assigns a health grade to each endpoint based on its p95 response time. This gives you an at-a-glance view of which endpoints are performing well and which need attention.

P95 Response Times

For each endpoint, brakit tracks the 95th percentile response time. This means 95% of requests are faster than the displayed value, giving you a realistic view of how your endpoints perform under normal conditions, without outliers skewing the average.

Metrics Persistence

Performance metrics are automatically saved to .brakit/metrics.json in your project root. This means your performance data survives across brakit restarts, so you can track trends over time.

Slow Thresholds

Brakit uses two separate thresholds:

• Slow requests: HTTP requests taking longer than 2 seconds are flagged
• Slow queries: Database queries taking longer than 100ms are flagged (stricter, since individual queries should be fast)
• Slow endpoints: Endpoints averaging over 1 second are surfaced in Overview insights

Performance Tab

The Performance tab in the dashboard shows:

• Endpoint list: Every endpoint with its health grade and p95 time
• Trend indicators: Whether an endpoint is getting faster or slower compared to previous sessions
• Request count: Total number of requests per endpoint
