Updated Apr 5 2019:

because this is a gist from 2011 that people stumble into and maybe you should AES instead of 3DES in the year of our lord 2019.

some other notes:

Instructions

To capture the video (filesize: 19MB), using the free "QuickTime Player" application:

mrflip

Next Steps

• Measure time spend on index, flush, refresh, merge, query, etc. (TD - done)
• Take hot threads snapshots under read+write, read-only, write-only (TD - done)
• Adjust refresh time to 10s (from 1s) and see how load changes (TD)
• Measure time of a rolling restart doing disable_flush and disable_recovery (TD)
• Specify routing on query -- make it choose same node for each shard each time (MD)
• GC new generation size (TD)
• Warmers

• measure before/after of client query time with and without warmers (MD)

Benchmarking Nginx with Go

There are a lot of ways to serve a Go HTTP application. The best choices depend on each use case. Currently nginx looks to be the standard web server for every new project even though there are other great web servers as well. However, how much is the overhead of serving a Go application behind an nginx server? Do we need some nginx features (vhosts, load balancing, cache, etc) or can you serve directly from Go? If you need nginx, what is the fastest connection mechanism? This are the kind of questions I'm intended to answer here. The purpose of this benchmark is not to tell that Go is faster or slower than nginx. That would be stupid.

So, these are the different settings we are going to compare:

• Go HTTP standalone (as the control group)
• Nginx proxy to Go HTTP
• Nginx fastcgi to Go TCP FastCGI
• Nginx fastcgi to Go Unix Socket FastCGI
