## What it is
A GitHub Action that collects benchmark results from many benchmarking tools and tracks them across CI runs. It stores results on a GitHub Pages branch with chart visualization and alerts on performance regressions via comments or workflow failure.

## Use cases
- track benchmark results across CI runs
- detect performance regressions automatically
- visualize benchmark history on GitHub Pages
- fail CI when benchmarks exceed a threshold
- benchmark Rust, Go, Python, C++, Java, and JS projects in one repo

## When to choose
- your project already has benchmark suites and runs on GitHub Actions
- you want continuous performance monitoring with regression alerts
- you need multi-language benchmark tracking in a polyglot repository

## When to avoid
- you don't use GitHub Actions or GitHub Pages
- you need local-only benchmarking without CI integration
- you need profiling or flame graphs rather than benchmark tracking

## Facets
