Release notes
There's no way of seeing how the sizes of artifacts are trending over time. This makes it difficult to see if specific MRs or commits make the binary size jump. This would add the ability to see these metrics over time.
Problem to solve
Originally reported in https://twitter.com/detly/status/1551842099427155968?s=20&t=We4JA-jJNq5IY9II5aiMVw. Summary:
- They are building a firmware in a CI job.
- The firmware "$CI_PROJECT_DIR/ase-openwrt/openwrt/fw" is stored in an archive artifact.
- They inspect the size of the firmware and output it as a reports:metrics
- They might move the artifact into a package later on, but it’s not explicitly mentioned in the email.
- What they are really asking is to see the trend of the metric over time. (1.b).
Intended users
User experience goal
The user should be able to track the binary size of CI artifacts over time.
Proposal
Since the metrics report conforms to OpenMetrics, I think it is reasonable for the customer to expect some ability to view the trend of the metric over time.
