===============
Lua site allowing custom HTTP benchmark
Motivation
==========
While many HTTP client benchmark tools exist, none of them really express the capacity of a HTTP server to hold a load.
Two options are mainly used:
1. Set various files and served as an approximation of what could be the traffic
2. Use a backend application to produce whatever it's possible
The solution #1 suffers from the volume then File System behavor. It could beneficial or not but it's not linked to nginx itself.
The solution #2 comes with its batch of biais created by all the step from the application handler, network to programming language.
We make to the choice to create a simple nginx site allowing to test the server without backend. Here's the main guidelines:
- The operations should measure the capacity from a server to handle requests
- We use only the integrated Lua as programming language
- We do not depend on anything other than Lua and the OS
Install
=======
::
apt install -y nginx libnginx-mod-http-lua
cp benchmark.conf /path/to/sites/benchmark
# rm /path/to/sites/default
cp benchmark.html /var/www/benchmark.html
service nginx restart
You can also install `nullfs `_ to remove the overhead from (future) upload tests.
Start
=====
Go to `http://` to consult endpoints via your browser.
Or test them with you usual HTTP benchmark tools like: ::
# ab -c 128 -n 10000 http://myserver/urandom?size=2048

Tips
====
The default Nginx configuration may not produce the best performance, so we advise you to the results nginx-benchmark produce and the reality of your application. In order to help you reaching the best level of performance here's some tips:
- In Nginx configuration:
- `worker_connections `_: number of simultaneous connections that can be opened by a worker process.
- `worker_processes `_: number of worker processes.
- `worker_rlimit_nofile `_: maximum number of open files (RLIMIT_NOFILE) for worker processes.
- In your Linux kernel:
- net.core.somaxconn
