We don't have any performance tests yet - would be a useful thing to add, I've not built anything like that before (at least not in CI, I've always done as-hoc performance testing using something like Locust) so I don't have a great feel for how it could work.

Had an interesting conversation about this just now: https://fedi.simonwillison.net/@simon/109773800944614366

There's a risk that different runs will return different results due to the shared resource nature of GitHub Actions runners, but a good fix for that is to run comparative tests where you run the benchmark against e.g. both main and the incoming PR branch and report back on any differences.

I don't know how/if you do automated tests for performance, so I haven't changed any of the tests.

We don't have any performance tests yet - would be a useful thing to add, I've not built anything like that before (at least not in CI, I've always done as-hoc performance testing using something like Locust) so I don't have a great feel for how it could work.

I see not having to change the tests at all for this change as a really positive sign. If you find any behaviour differences between this and the previous that's a sign we should add a mother test or two specifying the behaviour we want.

I absolutely love this performance boost - really nice find.

One concern: this will be the first time Datasette ships a core feature that uses window functions.

Window functions were added to SQLite in version 3.25.0 on 2018-09-15 - which means it's still very common for Datasette to run on versions that don't yet support them.

So I see two options: - Detect window function support and switch between the old implementation and this better, new one - Detect window functions and disable the facet-by-JSON feature entirely if they are missing

I like the first option a bit better.

This also leads to a tricky CI challenge: Datasette needs to be able to run its test suite against more than one SQLite version to confidently test this feature going forward.

I don't yet have a good GitHub Actions recipe for this, but I really need one - for sqlite-utils too.

Might be able to use this trick for that: https://til.simonwillison.net/sqlite/ld-preload
