-# Benchmarks
-
-## How to run
-
-To run your benchmark, just:
-
-```sh
-npm run bench
-```
-
-The minimum sample size is set to 10 to perform statistical analysis on benchmark, you can re-configure that in `benchmark.js`.
-
-> NOTE: If you're interested in writing benchmark for other APIs, please write a benchmark in the `benchmark/index.js` module. Please refer to the `benchmark/tracer.js` or `benchmark/propagator.js` for more comprehensive examples.
