Tezos Context Trace

tezos_context is a part of the Tezos Octez implementation that uses Irmin. The Irmin team has created a shim around tezos_context that records all tezos_context API calls and records them in a trace. This trace (after some pre-processing) is used to replay tezos_context API calls with different versions of Irmin in order to benchmark performance of changes to Irmin.

The code in this repository is organized into three libraries:

• tezos-context-trace: Holds type definitions for trace events and implements a serialization.
• tezos-context-trace-recorder: Implements a shim of the tezos_context library that records API calls into a trace.
• tezos-context-trace-tools: Tools for working with traces. This includes the tezos-context-replay tool that is used for benchmarking.
