Release validation is a DevOps methodology that tests a software component to verify that it meets its release criteria before being released to the next phase of development or to production. While developing an application, service, or piece of code, it is critical to test the releases during defined milestones.

Performance budgets are one of those ideas that everyone gets behind conceptually, but then are challenged to put into practice – and for very good reason. If you're just getting started with performance budgets – or if you've been using them for a while and want to validate your work – this post is for you.

The best way to fight regressions is to create performance budgets on key metrics, and get alerted when they go out of bounds. You can even go one step further and integrate your performance budgets with your CI/CD process, so that you not only get alerts but even break the build if a new deploy would violate any of your budgets.
