**Detect I/O anti-patterns (N+1, redundant calls, slow SQL/HTTP, fanout) in OpenTelemetry traces. Run as a CI quality gate on captured traces, or as a long-running OTLP daemon with Prometheus metrics and a query API.**
> **Read this first**
> - **Prerequisite:** your services must emit **OpenTelemetry traces** (SQL + HTTP spans). If they don't, perf-sentinel has nothing to analyze. See [docs/INSTRUMENTATION.md](docs/INSTRUMENTATION.md) for language-specific setup (Java/Quarkus/.NET/Rust).
> - **What it is:** a self-hosted, single-binary (`<20 MB RSS`) anti-pattern detector, runnable in batch mode on captured traces (local exploration, post-mortem, or a CI quality gate that exits 1 on threshold breach) or as a long-running daemon (OTLP ingestion, query API, live dashboard, Prometheus metrics).
> - **What it is *not*:** a full APM, a continuous profiler, or a standalone regulatory carbon accounting platform. See [What perf-sentinel is not](#what-perf-sentinel-is-not).

## Why perf-sentinel?
Performance anti-patterns like N+1 queries exist in any application that does I/O, monoliths and microservices alike. In distributed architectures, a single user request cascades across multiple services, each with its own I/O, and nobody has visibility on the full path.
Existing tools each solve part of the problem. Hypersistence Utils covers JPA only, Datadog and New Relic are heavy proprietary agents you may not want in every pipeline, Sentry's detectors are solid but tied to its SDK and backend. None of them gives you a **protocol-level anti-pattern detector you can self-host**, runnable either as a CI quality gate on captured traces (exit 1 on threshold breach, SARIF for code scanning) **or** as a long-running OTLP daemon (gRPC + HTTP ingestion, Prometheus `/metrics`, live HTML dashboard, query API, runtime ack workflow) you place alongside or in front of your existing tracing backend.
perf-sentinel observes the traces your application already emits (SQL queries, HTTP calls) regardless of language or ORM. It doesn't need to understand JPA, EF Core or SeaORM, it sees the queries they generate.
## What it detects
Ten finding types, plus cross-trace correlations in daemon mode:
| Pattern | Trigger |
|---------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
| N+1 SQL | Same query template fired ≥ N times in a single trace |
| N+1 HTTP | Same URL template called ≥ N times in a single trace |
| Redundant SQL | Identical query with identical params, same trace |
| Redundant HTTP | Identical call with identical params, same trace |
| Slow SQL | Query duration above configured threshold |
| Slow HTTP | Request duration above configured threshold |
| Excessive fanout | One span starts ≥ N children in parallel |
| Chatty service | Service A → B repeatedly within one user request |
| Pool saturation | Concurrent in-flight queries exceed configured pool size |
| Serialized calls | Sequential I/O that could be parallelized |
Each finding carries: type, severity, normalized template, occurrences, source endpoint, suggestion, source location (when OTel spans carry `code.*` attributes), and GreenOps impact (see below). For per-detector severity rules and tunable thresholds, see [docs/design/04-DETECTION.md](docs/design/04-DETECTION.md).
## Output formats
- **`text`** (default): severity-grouped colored terminal output. Available on `analyze`, `diff`, `pg-stat`, `query`, `explain`, `ack`.
- **`json`**: structured report. Available on `analyze`, `diff`, `pg-stat`, `query`, `explain`, `ack`. Full schema in [docs/SCHEMA.md](docs/SCHEMA.md), example fixtures in [docs/schemas/examples/](docs/schemas/examples/).
- **`sarif`** (SARIF v2.1.0): GitHub/GitLab code scanning with inline PR annotations via `physicalLocations`. Available on `analyze` and `diff`. See [docs/SARIF.md](docs/SARIF.md).
- **HTML dashboard**: single-file offline report from `perf-sentinel report`, click-through trace trees, dark/light theme, CSV export from Findings / pg_stat / Diff / Correlations tabs. See [docs/HTML-REPORT.md](docs/HTML-REPORT.md).
- **Interactive TUI**: three keyboard-driven views in one drill-down (Analyze, Inspect, Explain) from `perf-sentinel analyze --tui`, `inspect`, or `explain --tui` (or `query inspect` for live daemon data). See [docs/INSPECT.md](docs/INSPECT.md).
- **Live daemon**: NDJSON findings on stdout, Prometheus `/metrics` with Grafana Exemplars, `/health` probe, HTTP query API. See [docs/METRICS.md](docs/METRICS.md) and [docs/QUERY-API.md](docs/QUERY-API.md).
- **Periodic disclosure (optional)**: hash-verifiable `perf-sentinel-report/v1.0` JSON from `perf-sentinel disclose`, signable via Sigstore. See [docs/REPORTING.md](docs/REPORTING.md).
The JSON `io_intensity_band` / `io_waste_ratio_band` enum values (`healthy` / `moderate` / `high` / `critical`) are stable across versions, numeric thresholds behind them may evolve. Reference table and rationale in [docs/LIMITATIONS.md#score-interpretation](docs/LIMITATIONS.md#score-interpretation).
## Performance
| Metric | Result (v0.8.0) |
|----------------------------------------|----------------------------|
| Peak pipeline throughput | **> 1.8 M events / sec** |
| Sustained end-to-end throughput | **≈ 1.0 M events / sec** |
| Resident memory at sustained peak load | **≈ 190 MB** |
The `<20 MB RSS` figure quoted in the TL;DR and the comparison table is the **steady-state daemon footprint at low traffic** (apples-to-apples with the idle-agent figures listed for the other tools): the musl + mimalloc release binary idles at **~17 MB** (the native build idles at ~10 MB — mimalloc trades a little RSS for allocator speed). Under the sustained ~1.0 M events / sec load above, the same daemon peaks at **≈ 190 MB** (down from the 237 MB measured on 0.6.1, comfortably under the 250 MB ceiling).
Measured on a Mac Mini M4 Pro (12 cores, 24 GB unified memory, macOS 26.4.1), release build `aarch64-unknown-linux-musl` with `mimalloc`, running inside a Docker Desktop `linux/arm64` VM provisioned with 15.6 GB. Rust 2024 edition, rustc 1.96.0 stable. Reproduce with `perf-sentinel bench --help`.
## Install
```bash
# from crates.io
cargo install perf-sentinel
# or download a prebuilt binary (Linux amd64/arm64, macOS arm64, Windows amd64)
curl -LO https://github.com/robintra/perf-sentinel/releases/latest/download/perf-sentinel-linux-amd64
chmod +x perf-sentinel-linux-amd64 && sudo mv perf-sentinel-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/perf-sentinel

Linux binaries target musl (fully static, run on any distro and `FROM scratch` images). A Helm chart is available under [`charts/perf-sentinel/`](charts/perf-sentinel/). See [docs/HELM-DEPLOYMENT.md](docs/HELM-DEPLOYMENT.md).
## Deployment
Four environments, three deployment models. Full setup in [docs/INTEGRATION.md](docs/INTEGRATION.md), CI recipes in [docs/CI.md](docs/CI.md), Prometheus metrics in [docs/METRICS.md](docs/METRICS.md), sidecar example in [`examples/docker-compose-sidecar.yml`](examples/docker-compose-sidecar.yml).
Models: **CI batch** (`analyze --ci` on captured traces, exits 1 on threshold breach), **central collector** (OTel Collector forwards to `watch` daemon, Prometheus metrics and query API), **sidecar** (one daemon per service for isolated debugging).

The companion repo [perf-sentinel-simulation-lab](https://github.com/robintra/perf-sentinel-simulation-lab/blob/main/docs/SCENARIOS.md) validates eight operational modes end to end on a real Kubernetes cluster, each shipping a Mermaid diagram, the exact inputs/outputs, and the gotchas hit during validation.
## Quickstart
```bash
# 1. Try the bundled demo (no setup required)
perf-sentinel demo
# 2. Analyze a captured trace file
perf-sentinel analyze --input traces.json
# 3. Use as a CI quality gate (exits 1 on threshold breach)
perf-sentinel analyze --input traces.json --ci --config .perf-sentinel.toml
# 4. Stream traces from your apps (daemon mode)
perf-sentinel watch
```
Minimal `.perf-sentinel.toml` at the repo root:
```toml
[thresholds]
n_plus_one_sql_critical_max = 0 # zero tolerance for N+1 SQL
io_waste_ratio_max = 0.30 # max 30% avoidable I/O
[detection]
n_plus_one_min_occurrences = 5
slow_query_threshold_ms = 500

## GreenOps: I/O intensity score (directional)
Every finding carries an **I/O intensity score (IIS)**, total I/O ops for an endpoint divided by invocations, and an **I/O waste ratio** (avoidable ops / total ops). Reducing N+1 queries and redundant calls improves response times *and* energy use; these are not competing goals.
`co2.total` is reported as the [Software Carbon Intensity v1.0 / ISO/IEC 21031:2024](https://github.com/Green-Software-Foundation/sci) numerator `(E × I) + M`, summed over analyzed traces. Multi-region scoring is automatic when OTel spans carry `cloud.region`. In daemon mode, energy can be refined via measured sources (Scaphandre RAPL on x86, Kepler eBPF on ARM and x86, Redfish BMC for bare-metal wall-plug power, or cloud-native CPU% + SPECpower), and grid intensity pulled live from Electricity Maps.
> **perf-sentinel is a specialized carbon calculator for software / compute emissions**, with an activity-based methodology, region-hourly grid intensity (Electricity Maps, ENTSO-E, RTE, National Grid ESO, EIA, ...), bottom-up embodied carbon (Boavizta + HotCarbon 2024) and Sigstore-signed, hash-verifiable disclosures.
>
> It is **suitable as a primary data source** for a horizontal carbon accounting platform, or **as an internal controlling tool** for software-emissions KPIs and RGESN conformance.
>
> It is **not yet third-party verified** for standalone CSRD / GHG Protocol Scope 2/3 inventory reporting, which requires audit by a qualified body and integration with non-IT scopes. CO₂ figures carry a `~2×` uncertainty bracket in the default proxy mode (tighter with any measured-energy source: Scaphandre RAPL, Kepler eBPF, Redfish BMC, or cloud SPECpower + calibration). Methodology, sources and bounds: [docs/LIMITATIONS.md#carbon-estimates-accuracy](docs/LIMITATIONS.md#carbon-estimates-accuracy) and [docs/METHODOLOGY.md](docs/METHODOLOGY.md).
Concrete pairings: pass the I/O counts and per-region energy estimates to **Watershed**, **Sweep**, **Greenly** or **Persefoni** as activity data ; or use perf-sentinel directly to demonstrate **RGESN** (Référentiel Général d'Écoconception de Services Numériques, ARCEP/Ademe/DINUM 2024) software-optimization conformance, where N+1 detection, redundant calls, caching and fanout reduction map onto the corresponding criteria.
For organisations who still want to publish a *non-regulatory* periodic efficiency disclosure (quarterly/yearly JSON, optional Sigstore signature), the optional `perf-sentinel disclose` workflow is documented in [docs/REPORTING.md](docs/REPORTING.md). It is intentionally kept off the main quickstart path.
## How does it compare?
perf-sentinel's niche is being **lightweight, protocol-agnostic, CI/CD-native and carbon-aware**, not replacing a full observability suite.

Agent footprint figures for commercial APMs are order-of-magnitude estimates from public deployment reports; actual overhead depends on instrumentation scope.
### What perf-sentinel is not
A fair comparison requires naming what perf-sentinel does **not** do:
- **Not a full APM replacement.** No dashboards, no alerting UI, no RUM, no log aggregation, no distributed profiling. If you need those, Datadog, New Relic and Sentry remain the right tools.
- **Not a continuous profiler.** It observes I/O patterns at the protocol level; it does not sample on-CPU time, allocations or stack traces. For flame graphs and language-aware CPU/memory profiling, [Grafana Pyroscope](https://grafana.com/oss/pyroscope/) is the open-source counterpart and pairs well: pyroscope tells you where compute time goes, perf-sentinel tells you which I/O patterns drive that time.
- **Not a real-time monitoring solution.** Daemon mode streams findings, but the project's center of gravity is CI quality gates and post-hoc trace analysis, not live prod observability.
- **Not a standalone regulatory carbon accounting platform.** perf-sentinel computes activity-based software-emissions numbers from audit-quality sources, but standalone CSRD or GHG Protocol Scope 2/3 reporting requires third-party verification and integration with non-IT scopes it does not cover. Pair it with a horizontal carbon platform (Watershed, Sweep, Greenly, Persefoni, ...) or use it directly for RGESN conformance and internal software-emissions KPIs.
- **Not a replacement for measured energy.** The I/O-to-energy model is an approximation. For accurate measured power, plug in Scaphandre (x86 RAPL), Kepler (eBPF, ARM-friendly) or Redfish (bare-metal BMC wall-plug), all three supported as inputs, or use cloud provider energy APIs. For what software-only attribution can and cannot cover on a typical server, see [docs/LIMITATIONS.md § What software-only attribution covers](docs/LIMITATIONS.md#what-software-only-attribution-covers).
- **Not zero-config.** Protocol-level detection requires OTel instrumentation in your apps. If your stack does not emit traces, perf-sentinel has nothing to analyze.
- **Not an IDE plugin.** For in-IDE feedback on JVM/.NET code as you type, [Digma](https://digma.ai/) offers a well-integrated JetBrains experience.
## Acknowledging known findings
Drop `.perf-sentinel-acknowledgments.toml` at your repo root to suppress findings the team has accepted; they are filtered from `analyze` / `report` / `inspect` / `diff` and do not count toward the quality gate. Runtime acks against a live daemon are exposed via the `ack` CLI, the live HTML dashboard, and the TUI. Full reference: [docs/ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.md](docs/ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.md) and [docs/ACK-WORKFLOW.md](docs/ACK-WORKFLOW.md).
## Still frames
The [Quick look](#quick-look) section at the top shows live GIFs. The frozen frames below let you zoom in on individual panels for readability.
<details>
<summary>Still frames (TUI, analyze, explain, inspect, pg-stat, calibrate, disclose, report)</summary>
**Configuration** (`.perf-sentinel.toml`):
**All-in-one TUI** (`perf-sentinel analyze --tui`). One session drills down Analyze, Inspect and Explain via Enter, Esc walks back up, the tab bar tracks the active view:
**Analysis report** (`perf-sentinel analyze`) page by page, with a small overlap so every finding appears fully on at least one page:
**Explain mode** (`perf-sentinel explain --trace-id <id>`). Span-anchored findings (N+1, redundant, slow, fanout) are rendered inline next to the offending spans; trace-level findings (chatty service, pool saturation, serialized calls) are surfaced in a dedicated header above the tree:
**Inspect mode** (`perf-sentinel inspect`). The findings panel header colors findings by severity, below are five frames walking the demo fixture across the three severity levels plus a detail-panel view with its scroll feature:
`inspect --input` also auto-detects a pre-computed Report JSON (e.g. a daemon snapshot from `/api/export/report`). Findings and Correlations panels light up fully, the Detail panel surfaces a span-tree-unavailable hint that points at the two paths which do carry raw spans:
**pg-stat mode** (`perf-sentinel pg-stat --input <pg_stat_statements.csv>`): ranks SQL queries by total execution time, by call count, by mean latency. Cross-reference with your traces via `--traces` to spot queries that dominate the DB without showing up in instrumentation:
**Calibrate mode** (`perf-sentinel calibrate --traces <traces.json> --measured-energy <energy.csv>`):
**Disclose preview** (`perf-sentinel disclose --tui`). A read-only preview of the periodic disclosure: a calendar stepper over the period, live intent and confidentiality toggles, and the equivalent command to copy. It never writes or hashes a report:
**Report dashboard** (`perf-sentinel report`), one still per tab. Each `<picture>` serves the dark variant when your browser advertises `prefers-color-scheme: dark`:
