February 2026 monthly summary for chalk-go (chalk-ai/chalk-go). Focused on delivering a robust Benchmark Kill Command to improve test stability, resource management, and tracing during termination. No major bug fixes were completed this month in the Chalk-Go repo.

January 2026 highlights: Chalk-go benchmarks gained significant capabilities with a new Benchmark Resource Configuration and Performance Metrics Protocol, enabling container resource specifications, latency tracking, and multi-percentile metrics (including p99.9) with updated protocol buffers. This work extends CreateBenchmarkRequest to support these features and enhances measurement fidelity for performance testing. In addition, Named Queries for Benchmark Operations were introduced to support named queries and versioning, with corresponding proto code generation. From a documentation perspective, chalk-ai/docs added Stream Resolver examples and deployment guidance to illustrate environment-specific usage and streaming deployment patterns, and corrected an API documentation hyperlink to ensure accurate access. Together, these changes deliver more accurate, repeatable benchmarks and clearer deployment guidance, driving faster data-driven decisions and more reliable streaming workloads.

December 2025 monthly summary for the dev team across chalk-ai/docs and chalk-ai/chalk-go. Focused on delivering user-focused features, strengthening benchmarking capabilities, and expanding data-management APIs. Key outcomes include clarified documentation for Dataset.recompute, new Benchmark service with CronQuery scheduling and enhanced input/bulk/result handling, and the SQL Queries Service addition. Proto updates underpinned API stability and future extensibility. Overall impact includes reduced user confusion, faster benchmarking iterations, and scalable SQL management.
