Performance Budgets

Performance budgets define measurable limits (e.g., latency, weight, CPU) that protect user experience.

Enterprise teams enforce budgets via quality gates and evidence capture.

What is a performance budget?
A measurable limit that protects user experience (e.g., latency, weight, CPU, memory).

How do budgets become enforceable?
Tie budgets to quality gates and release verification with evidence.

What’s a common failure mode?
Budgets exist but aren’t enforced; regressions ship silently.

How do we choose budget values?
Start from baselines and business outcomes, then tighten iteratively.

What’s the first improvement?
Pick one key metric and enforce it as a release gate.
