# flux-benchmark
[](https://github.com/fluxcd/flux-benchmark/actions/workflows/test.yaml)
**Mean Time To Production** benchmarks
for [Flux](https://fluxcd.io) release candidates,
made with [Timoni](https://github.com/stefanprodan/timoni).
The benchmark results can be found in [RESULTS.md](RESULTS.md).
## Prerequisites
Start by cloning the repository locally:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/stefanprodan/flux-benchmark.git
cd flux-benchmark
```
Install Kubernetes kind, flux, timoni, crane and other CLI tools with Homebrew:
```shell
make tools
```
The complete list of tools can be found in the `Brewfile`.
## Cluster Setup
Create a Kind cluster and a Docker registry:
```shell
make up
```
The Docker registry is exposed on the local machine on `localhost:5555`
and inside the cluster on `flux-registry:5000`.
The Kubernetes cluster is made out of 3 nodes:
- flux-control-plane (Kubernetes API & etcd)
- flux-worker (Flux controllers)
- flux-worker1 (Prometheus, Grafana, kube-state-metrics, metrics-server)
## Flux Setup
Install Flux on a dedicated node with:
```shell
make flux-up
```
## Monitoring Setup
Install the Flux monitoring stack with:
```shell
timoni bundle apply -f timoni/bundles/flux-monitoring.cue --timeout 10m
```
To access Grafana, start port forward in a separate shell:
```shell
kubectl -n monitoring port-forward svc/kube-prometheus-stack-grafana 3000:80
```
Navigate to `http://localhost:3000` in your browser and login with user `admin` and password `flux`.
## Benchmark Setup
Push the Timoni modules to the local registry with:
```shell
make timoni-push
```
### Flux Kustomization Benchmark
Run the benchmark for OCI artifact pull and Flux Kustomization install:
```shell
KS=100 timoni bundle apply -f timoni/bundles/flux-benchmark.cue --runtime-from-env --timeout=10m
```
Run the benchmark for Flux Kustomization upgrade:
```shell
KS=100 MCPU=2 timoni bundle apply -f timoni/bundles/flux-benchmark.cue --runtime-from-env --timeout=10m
```
### Flux HelmRelease Benchmark
Run the benchmark for Helm chart pull and Flux HelmRelease install:
```shell
HR=100 timoni bundle apply -f timoni/bundles/flux-benchmark.cue --runtime-from-env --timeout=10m
```
Run the benchmark for Flux HelmRelease upgrade:
```shell
HR=100 MCPU=2 timoni bundle apply -f timoni/bundles/flux-benchmark.cue --runtime-from-env --timeout=10m
```
### Teardown
Remove all Flux resources and the benchmark namespaces with:
```shell
timoni bundle delete flux-benchmark
```
