Middleware - Middleware - Performance Evaluation

A simple project to evaluate the gRPC and RabbitMQ performance. The client request a number and the server returns the respective fibonacci element. Implementations built in Go.

You can either check/run the code or run the tests to generate .csv files into your machine. Feel free to analyse the data any way you want.

To run the code

Prerequisites

• Go installed
• RabbitMQ installed

From Golang - Getting Started

Add /usr/local/go/bin to the PATH environment variable. You can do this by adding this line to your /etc/profile (for a system-wide installation) or $HOME/.profile:

$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

For convenience, add the workspace's bin subdirectory to your PATH:

$ export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin

Also a good idea add these lines:

$ export GOPATH=$(go env GOPATH);
$ export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin;

Install via go get

$ go get github.com/arma29/mid-mid-perf/...

This command will build and install all go programs under mid-mid-perf/ directory. It then installs that binaries to the workspace's bin directory as the folder name.

Usage

Now, you can run the program by typing its full path at the command line:

$ $GOPATH/bin/bin_name

Or, as you have added $GOPATH/bin to your PATH, just type the binary name:

$ bin_name

For the RabbitMQ, we need firstly start the rabbitmq server, then server, finally the client. For gRPC only need the server (first) and client.

• RabbitMQ Server listening port: 5672
• gRPC Server listening port: 7272

To run the application servers:

$ $GOPATH/bin/ServerR 127.0.0.1
$ $GOPATH/bin/ServerGRPC

To run the clients, we need to pass the server IP and the request number as argument e.g:

$ $GOPATH/bin/ClientGRPC 127.0.0.1 5
$ $GOPATH/bin/ClientR 127.0.0.1 5

This will print 10K lines containing the fibonacci number requested, the answer and the measured time between the request and response, in milliseconds.

To run the performance tests

Prerequisites

• Docker
• docker-compose

Usage

Inside docker-test/ directory, simply run:

$ ./suit.sh

It takes 40 minutes to run everything and will output in /home/$USER/Output the .csv files in this format:

Fibonacci	Answer	Time
requested number	Answer number	RTT time
