Oct 1, 2025Month: 2025-10. Summary: Implemented TPCC roachtest profiling integration to enable PGO-driven performance optimization by collecting CPU, allocation, and mutex profiles from a short 75-second workload. Added an end-of-test profiling step to feed data into the PGO workflow, establishing the foundation for data-driven performance improvements.

Sep 1, 2025September 2025 monthly summary for cockroachdb/cockroach: Targeted test stabilization and reliability improvements. Fixed a BenchmarkRefreshRange initialization bug that caused test failures after storage changes. Implemented roachtest reliability and debugging enhancements to improve observability and reduce flaky runs, including increased runMultiStoreRemove verbosity, test deflaking for splits/load/uniform, stronger leader liveness handling, and KV prober tracing on plan failures. These changes tighten CI feedback, speed debugging, and bolster release readiness.
