n/a — performance work without a tracking issue

Follow-ups: #30186 and #30187 build on this benchmark.

Summary

Adds a private benchmark package that measures decodeRow across complete, realistic Northwind result sets. It establishes a reproducible 1236.1 µs aggregate baseline for the optimization stack.

At a glance

pnpm --filter benchmarks bench

The report covers single-row latency, independent whole-response latency for 14 query fixtures, and a weighted 198-response request mix.

Decision

Use real SQL plans and checked-in driver-response fixtures to evaluate decoding as callers experience it: one complete result set at a time. The primary metric sums each fixture response's independently measured mean so large response sets matter without allowing one hot loop to hide slow cases.

Reviewer notes

The fixtures are intentionally checked in so benchmark runs do not require a live database.
The query set covers scalar projections, joins, includes, nullable columns, and PostgreSQL Temporal codecs.
This PR changes no runtime behavior; it is the base of the stacked optimization PRs.

Behavior changes & evidence

Adds whole-result-set measurements in test/bench/bench/decode-row.ts, backed by test/bench/fixtures/rows.json.
Builds realistic query plans in test/bench/bench/queries.ts, backed by the Northwind contract fixture in test/bench/fixtures/northwind.json.

Testing performed

pnpm install --lockfile-only --frozen-lockfile
pnpm --filter benchmarks bench

Skill update

n/a — internal benchmark only

Checklist

All commits are signed off (git commit -s) per the DCO.
I read CONTRIBUTING.md and the change is scoped to one logical concern.
Tests are updated.
The PR title is in TML-NNNN: <sentence-case title> form — no Linear ticket exists for this work.
The Skill update section above is filled in.

Notes for the reviewer

Review this as the measurement substrate for the two follow-up performance PRs.

Alternatives considered

Microbench only codec calls: rejected because it misses row orchestration, result-shape construction, include handling, and per-response effects.
One combined weighted loop as the primary metric: retained as a secondary report, but not primary because hot cases can mask regressions in smaller result sets.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added a dedicated benchmarking package and command for measuring database decoding performance.
- Added benchmarks for single-row decoding, complete result sets, and weighted mixed workloads.
- Added representative query scenarios, including pagination, lookups, searches, joins, and aggregations.
- Added Northwind schema and data fixtures for repeatable benchmark runs.
- Added latency and throughput reporting for benchmark results.
Tests
- Added validation for benchmark fixtures, result decoding, and weighted workload generation.

Measure realistic Northwind query responses independently and as a weighted request mix so decode-row changes are evaluated against complete result sets rather than isolated cells. Baseline: result_set_total_us=1236.1 Signed-off-by: Steven McClankerton <tatarintsev@prisma.io>

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a private benchmark package with Northwind PostgreSQL fixtures and typed query plans. The benchmark validates fixture decoding and measures single-row, result-set, and weighted mixed-workload decoding.

Changes

Northwind decode benchmarks

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Benchmark package and Northwind contract `test/bench/package.json`, `test/bench/fixtures/northwind.json`	Adds benchmark scripts, dependencies, Node.js requirements, and the generated Northwind schema and storage contract.
Northwind query plan catalog `test/bench/bench/queries.ts`	Defines typed customer, employee, supplier, product, and order query plans with joins, searches, aggregates, pagination, and lookups.
Decode benchmark execution and validation `test/bench/bench/decode-row.ts`, `test/bench/bench/decode-row.test.ts`	Builds benchmark cases, exports `benchmarkWorkload`, allocates independently rounded request weights, decodes result sets, validates fixtures, runs three tinybench suites, and tests workload composition and decoded output.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 86897

The PR adds benchmark-only measurement code without changing runtime behavior, but the documented 198-response workload is currently implemented as 200 responses, making the reported baseline less directly comparable and requiring owner awareness before relying on the results.
