Throughput Test: Concurrent query streams measuring multi-user scalability
Data Generation: Creating benchmark datasets at various scale factors

Conceptual documentation explaining BenchBox architecture, terminology, and design principles.

Core Concepts

BenchBox is designed around a few key concepts:

Standard workloads that test database performance across different dimensions (analytics, transactions, data loading).

Database adapters that execute benchmarks on specific database systems (DuckDB, Databricks, Snowflake, etc.).

Different ways to run benchmarks:

Structured output capturing execution metrics, query timings, and optional validation against expected results.
