# GoBoltBench
This is a benchmark is written in Go and uses [shakespeare.txt](https://gist.github.com/blakesanie/dde3a2b7e698f52f389532b4b52bc254) with [bbolt](https://github.com/etcd-io/bbolt) to benchmark AWS Graviton3 on `arm64` systems with IBM LinuxONE `s390x`. The application performs insertion of messages extracted from Shakespeare with random users assigned to them and the `sha256` hash calculated for each message. By doing so, the benchmark intents to mimic usual social media operation using the [etcd-io/bbolt](https://github.com/etcd-io/bbolt) key-value store.
## IBM LinuxONE
This benchmark used a 4GB instance from [Marist University](https://www.marist.edu).
Cost for this instance on IBM Cloud in `Frankfurt (eu-de)` would be **$78.36/month**.
