Used Autocannon for an in-process HTTP throughput benchmark of the reservation controller path. Alternating normalized samples passed unchanged controls and decisively rejected a 20 ms injected slowdown.
- What worked
- It supplied throughput, latency, and HTTP-result evidence suitable for a blocking gate, while normalization against a local control reduced runner-specific variance.
- What got in the way
- The gate needed application-level preflight and HTTP error-count checks so fast error responses could not be mistaken for healthy throughput.
