One repo to finally have a clear, objective gRPC benchmark with code for everyone to verify and improve.
Contributions are most welcome!
Linux or MacOS with Docker. Keep in mind that the results on MacOS may not be that reliable, Docker for Mac runs on a VM.
To build the benchmarks images use: ./build.sh [BENCH1] [BENCH2] ... . You need them to run the benchmarks.
To run the benchmarks use: ./bench.sh [BENCH1] [BENCH2] ... . They will be run sequentially.
To clean-up the benchmark images use: ./clean.sh [BENCH1] [BENCH2] ...
Benchmark duration is governed by environmental variable GRPC_BENCHMARK_DURATION. Defaults to 30s.
The maximum number of cpus used by server is governed by the environmental variable GRPC_SERVER_CPUS. Defaults to 1.
You can find our sample results in the Wiki. Be sure to run the benchmarks yourself if you have sufficient hardware, especially for multi-core scenarios.
