Explanation

Confidence level: 90.00%
Effect size tolerance: |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%

Performance changes are noted in the perf column of each table:

  • ✅ = significantly better comparison variant performance
  • ❌ = significantly worse comparison variant performance
  • ➖ = no significant change in performance

A regression test is an A/B test of target performance in a repeatable rig, where "performance" is measured as "comparison variant minus baseline variant" for an optimization goal (e.g., ingress throughput). Due to intrinsic variability in measuring that goal, we can only estimate its mean value for each experiment; we report uncertainty in that value as a 90.00% confidence interval denoted "Δ mean % CI".

For each experiment, we decide whether a change in performance is a "regression" -- a change worth investigating further -- if all of the following criteria are true:

  1. Its estimated |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%, indicating the change is big enough to merit a closer look.

  2. Its 90.00% confidence interval "Δ mean % CI" does not contain zero, indicating that if our statistical model is accurate, there is at least a 90.00% chance there is a difference in performance between baseline and comparison variants.

  3. Its configuration does not mark it "erratic".

P1 Badge Validate shard count before unsigned cast

dogstatsd_metrics_stats_num_shards is cast to uint64 before it is validated, so a negative value from YAML/env (for example -1) becomes a huge unsigned integer, bypasses the < 1 fallback, and can trigger a massive allocation/panic when creating the shard slice at startup. Clamp or validate the signed value before converting it to uint64.

P1 Badge Reject zero max_items to prevent empty-heap panic

The config guard only handles negative values, so dogstatsd_metrics_stats_max_items: 0 is accepted. In that case every new metric takes the replacement branch and immediately dereferences shard.minHeap[0] while the heap is empty, causing a runtime panic on the first metric sample. Treat 0 as invalid (or default it) before using it.

P2 Badge Restore debug log writes in StoreMetricStats

This implementation still initializes dogstatsdDebugLogger, but the actual Infof call is commented out, so enabling DogStatsD metric stats no longer emits the per-metric debug logs that the previous implementation produced. Users who enable this feature for troubleshooting will silently lose that log signal unless logging is restored or the related setting/docs are updated.
