by ADMIN 22 views

Introduction

The purpose of this working group charter is to outline the goals, scope, and membership guide for the Performance Monitoring and Optimization Working Group. This group aims to improve the performance of the Express.js framework and its packages by providing a platform for discussion, collaboration, and tooling development.

Goals

The primary goals of this working group are:

  1. Performance Monitoring Tooling: Develop and maintain tooling for performance monitoring, including narrowly scoped benchmarks, benchmark suites on PRs, and comprehensive HTTP benchmarks.
  2. Performance Optimization Work: Organize and prioritize performance optimization work across multiple repositories, focusing on low-hanging fruit and major UX/api impact items.
  3. Collaboration with Node.js Core: Partner with the @nodejs/web-server-frameworks group to unlock core performance improvements in Node.js, making it easier to land optimizations in Express.js and its packages.

Scope

The scope of this working group includes:

  • Developing and maintaining performance monitoring tooling
  • Organizing and prioritizing performance optimization work
  • Collaborating with Node.js core to unlock performance improvements
  • Providing a platform for discussion and collaboration among members
