Musl performance analysis tool

Create benchmarks comparing musl vs glibc for containerized apps.

Why now

Growing container usage highlights performance tradeoffs in libc choices.

Who for
Container-focused developers
Business model
SaaS subscriptions
Effort
A few weeks

Developers struggle to predict how musl will impact their containerized applications' performance. A service could automatically test binaries against both libc implementations with real-world benchmarks.

Offer as SaaS with API for CI pipelines. Charge per benchmark run or monthly subscriptions.

MVP: Manual upload comparison tool. Risk: niche audience size.
