This reduces the memory usage significantly (1.7 GB vs. 137 MB for the stress-test I was running) Signed-off-by: Sasha Bogicevic <sasha.bogicevic@iohk.io>
GitHub Actions runners have limited disk space (~14GB available). When building uncached Nix derivations (like our modified hydra-node), the build can exhaust disk space during compilation. This adds a cleanup step that removes unused tools before the build: - .NET SDK (~1.8GB) - Android SDK (~9GB) - GHC (~5GB) - CodeQL (~2.5GB) - Unused Docker images This frees up ~20GB of disk space, ensuring builds complete successfully.
- Add pull_request trigger for PRs targeting master branch - Tag PR builds as pr-<number> for easy identification - Use PR head SHA as version for traceability

End-to-end benchmark results
This page is intended to collect the latest end-to-end benchmark results produced by Hydra's continuous integration (CI) system from the latest master code.
Please note that these results are approximate as they are currently produced from limited cloud VMs and not controlled hardware. Rather than focusing on the absolute results, the emphasis should be on relative results, such as how the timings for a scenario evolve as the code changes.
