The authors constructed MicroPerf-Bench by injecting nine types of performance anti-patterns (recurring system-level inefficiencies) into seven real-world microservice systems while preserving functional correctness and ensuring measurable performance degradation.
Coding agents struggle with system-level performance optimization in microservice systems
New benchmark MicroPerf-Bench shows best agent recovers only 42% of injected performance degradation, with failures due to inability to localize bottlenecks.
