BenchBloc

BenchBloc is a benchmarking tool for Ruby that allows you to benchmark your code by using a simple hash syntax, which will generate rake tasks, which when run will format and log to a bench_bloc.log file. It currently allows you to bench via Ruby's built-in Benchmark API or through the ruby-prof gem.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'bench_bloc'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install bench_bloc

In a '/bench_bloc' folder at the root of your app, create any number of files that end in '*.bloc.rb'. In these files use the Ruby hash syntax to namespace how you want the rake tasks to be generated. Task namespaces can be nested.

To generate a task, a hash must contain at least the prof property, among others. The prof property must be a lamda, the block of which will be the code that you will benchmark.

{
    posts: {
        save_a_post: {
            prof: (obj) -> { sleep 3 }
        }
    }
}

Will generate the rake bench_bloc:posts:save_a_post rake task. When this task is run the results will be formatted and saved to /log/bench_bloc.log
