Perfetto does support embedding though I concede it's not as seamless as it was with chrome://tracing. As with Chrome://tracing, you can put the UI inside an iframe and pass the trace to the UI via postMessage (see https://perfetto.dev/docs/visualization/deep-linking-to-perf...). There are quite a few people that do this: the big ones I'm aware of is the Rust language CI for performance (https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-perf/issues/1857) and Flutter Devtools (https://github.com/flutter/devtools/pull/4386/files). There's also an effort via contributions from some external folk to add more "proper" support for embedding (i.e. compiling Perfetto directly into a larger application, more like a library). That discussion is happening at https://github.com/google/perfetto/pull/2267 and the PRs spawned off it. We're hoping to have some more pub

> what do people use to run benchmarks on CI? Typically, you purchase/rent a server that does nothing but sequentially run queued benchmarks (and the size/performance of this server doesn't really matter, as long as the performance is consistent), then sends the report somewhere for hosting and processing. Of course, this could be triggered by something running in CI, and the CI job could wait for the results, if benchmarking is an important part of your workflow. Or if your CI setup allows it, you tag one of the nodes as a "benchmarking" node which only run jobs tagged as "benchmark", but I don't think a lot of the hosted setups allow this, mostly seen this in self-hosted CI setups. But CI and benchmarks really shouldn't be run on the same host. > What does the rust project use? It's not clear exactly where the Rust benchmark "perf-runne

r" is hosted, but here are the specifications of the machine at least: https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-perf/blob/414230abc695bd7... > What do other projects use? Essentially what I described above, a dedicated machine that runs benchmarks. The Rust project seems to do it via GitHub comments (as I understand https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-perf/tree/master/collecto...), others have API servers that respond to HTTP requests done from CI/chat, others have remote GUIs that triggers the runs. I don't think there is a single solution that everyone/most are using.
