Daniel Stenberg announces a new performance test suite for curl after years of considering and dismissing the idea. He explored existing tools like Grafana but found them too complex, deciding instead to build something practical step-by-step using dedicated hardware rather than shared cloud infrastructure.
Background
curl is a widely used open-source command-line tool for data transfer over various protocols, maintained by Daniel Stenberg. Performance regressions in curl can impact millions of downstream projects and users.
