npm install
npm run testThe repository includes a reproducible benchmark runner for /health and every
mounted /api/* route. By default it starts the local Express app on an
ephemeral port, uses synthetic marketplace payloads, creates a benchmark-only
admin token for protected routes, and writes JSON plus Markdown output to
benchmarks/results/.
npm run benchmarkFor CI and quick local checks, run the low-concurrency smoke gate:
npm run benchmark:smokeTo benchmark an existing environment instead of the local app, copy
benchmarks/benchmark.env.example, set BENCHMARK_TARGET_URL, and provide
BENCHMARK_ADMIN_TOKEN for protected admin endpoints. Thresholds are stored in
benchmarks/thresholds.json so reviewers can tune p99 latency and error-rate
limits without changing the runner.
