# Running Benchmarks in CI
> Running performance tests in your CI/CD pipeline ensures that performance regressions are caught early in the development process, before they reach production. CodSpeed integrates seamlessly with your existing CI workflows to provide automated performance monitoring.

## Benefits of CI Performance Testing
### Catch Regressions Early
Performance issues are detected immediately when code is committed, not weeks
later in production.
Integrating performance tests into your CI pipeline creates an automated safety
net that catches performance regressions as soon as they're introduced. Instead
of discovering slowdowns after deployment, your team gets immediate feedback
during code review.
### Maintain Performance Standards
Set performance thresholds to automatically fail builds that introduce
significant regressions.
CI-based performance testing enforces consistent performance standards across
your codebase. You can configure
[performance checks](/features/performance-checks/) to automatically block
merges when benchmarks exceed acceptable regression thresholds, ensuring your
application maintains its performance characteristics over time.
### Streamlined Development Workflow
Performance testing in CI eliminates the friction of manual performance
validation:
* **Automated execution**: Benchmarks run automatically on every pull request
* **Consistent environment**: Tests execute in standardized CI environments,
reducing variability
* **Zero maintenance overhead**: No need to remember to run performance tests
manually
* **Team visibility**: Performance results are shared directly in pull request

### Historical Performance Tracking
CodSpeed maintains a complete history of your application's performance
evolution across all commits and branches.
Your CI pipeline becomes a continuous performance monitoring system, building a
comprehensive history of how your application's performance changes over time.
This historical data helps identify performance trends and understand the impact
of specific changes.
### Data-Driven Optimization
CI performance testing provides the metrics needed to make informed optimization
decisions:
* Compare performance across different implementations
* Validate that optimizations actually improve performance
* Identify which changes have the most significant performance impact
* Track performance improvements over multiple iterations
