## `ift-ts:dst:` §

The DST Service unit is responsible of the execution of large-scale experiments focused on performance evaluation and scalability analysis. Additionally, it offers a range of tools to IFT projects for benchmarking both new functionalities and modifications to existing ones. These tools enable precise evaluation of changes, ensuring that updates are not only effective but also maintain or improve system performance and scalability.
