  • Production Twitter on One Machine: 100Gbps NICs and NVMe Are Fast

    I once built a quick and dirty load testing tool for a public facing service we built. The tool was pretty simple - something like https://github.com/bojand/ghz but with traffic and data patterns closer to what we expected to see in the real world. We used argo-workflows to generate scale.

    One thing which we noticed was that there was a considerable difference in performance characteristics based on how we parallelized the load testing tool (multiple threads, multiple processes, multiple kubernetes pods, pods forced to be distributed across nodes).

    I think that when you run non-distrubuted load tests you benefit from bunch of cool things which happen with http2 and Linux (multiplexing, resource sharing etc) which might make applications seem much faster than they would be in the real world.

    I'm not sure. Maybe you can write to the discussion section of the repo https://github.com/bojand/ghz/discussions
  • Testing gRPC services - request collections and modern load testing
    4 projects | dev.to | 25 Sep 2021
    In part 1 we looked at ghz for load testing gRPC services, and now I want to cover k6, which claims to be a modern load testing tool built for developer happiness. After only a brief experience with it I can see why is that and why Grafana moved to acquire k6 earlier this year.
  • grpc_bench: open-source, objective gRPC benchmark
    6 projects | /r/cpp | 20 Apr 2021
    It should be unbound, in this particular benchmark we set ghz concurrency to 50 and connections to 5 and we don't set the rps flag of ghz (e.g. --rps=2000, from this tool)

    a second container running ghz makes unary requests to the server

    Thought this was interesting, author provided the source code behind it (rust obviously) https://github.com/trishume/twitterperf.

    Very cool exercise. I enjoyed reading it.

    I see a lot of comments here assuming that this proves something about Twitter being inefficient. Before you jump to conclusions, take a look at the author’s code: https://github.com/trishume/twitterperf

    Notably absent are things like serving HTTP, not to even mention HTTPS. This was a fun exercise in algorithms, I/O, and benchmarking. It wasn’t actually imitating anything that resembles actual Twitter or even a usable website.
