Quality Gates

Tracera uses a tiered quality gate system — from fast local checks to comprehensive nightly analysis.

​
make precommit

Runs automatically via Git pre-commit hook. Same as make check. 
make precommit-install  # Install the hook

​
make check

Fast local quality gate (~10 seconds):
CheckCommandPurpose
Formatgofmt -lEnsure consistent formatting
Modulesgo mod verifyVerify module checksums
Vetgo vet ./...Catch common mistakes
Lintstaticcheck ./...Static analysis
Testgo test ./...Unit tests
make check

​
make ci

Full CI gate (runs on every pull request):
CheckAdditional to check
Race detectorgo test -race ./...
make ci

​
make nightly

Deep quality gate (runs nightly via GitHub Actions):
CheckAdditional to ci
Vulnerability scangovulncheck ./...
Coverage gatego test -coverprofile with threshold
Benchmarksgo test -bench
Release checkBuild reproducible release binary
Docker checksMigration and schema validation
make nightly

​
Additional Checks

TargetDescription
make db-checkDocker-backed migration/schema validation
make test-integrationIntegration tests against real TimescaleDB + Redis
make benchRun benchmarks
make bench-profileRun benchmarks with CPU/memory pprof profiles
make release-checkReproducible release binary build
make migration-checkValidate migration filenames and sequence

​
GitHub Actions

​
CI Workflow (.github/workflows/ci.yml)

Runs on every push and pull request:
  • Executes make ci (check + race detector)

​
Nightly Workflow (.github/workflows/nightly.yml)

Runs on a schedule:
  • Executes make nightly (full deep quality gate)

​
Dependabot (.github/dependabot.yml)

Automatically creates PRs for:
  • Go module dependency updates (weekly)
  • GitHub Actions version updates (weekly)
