Performances

RESTHeart has been designed and developed with lightness and performances as fundamental parameters.

This section includes the performance test results gathered by the SoftInstigate’s development team and includes all the information needed to autonomously reproduce the tests.

Change Streams

Measure RESTHeart’s notification throughput while n Websockets are listening for targeted notifications. RESTHeart will process 180 POSTs in 60 seconds while testing (3 RPS) and every client will wait until all notification have been received.

Observing the graph, RESTHeart delivers almost real-time notification for a very huge amount of clients:

Clients TPS Mean Notification Time (333ms = Real Time)
10 27 357ms
100 278 359ms
1000 2790 358ms
10000 27909 358ms
15000 41812 358ms
20000 54125 369ms
25000 61995 403ms

Read and Write JSON documents

Test case 1

Measure the execution time to create 1 million documents with random data, using 200 test threads.

time

In this scenario, RESTHeart introduces just a 2,41% overhead over the total execution time:

  Execution Time TPS
RESTHeart 250s 3990 tps
Direct 244s 4086 tps

Test case 2

Measure the execution time to query a collection 100.000 times, getting 5 documents each time (limit 5) and skipping just 25 documents, under different concurrency levels.

RESTHeart delivers better performances under any concurrency level over direct access via MongoDB driver:

Threads 50 100 200 250 400 500
RESTHeart 78s 82s 78s 76s 76s 76s
Direct 97s 95s 96s 96s 109s 112s

Test case 3

Measure the execution time to query a collection 2.000 times, getting 5 documents each time (limit 5) and skipping just 250.000 documents, under different concurrency levels.

Thanks to the eager pre-allocation DBCursor engine, queries with significant skip parameter executes much faster (50 times in this case) with RESTHeart:

Threads 1 2 4 5 8 10 20 40 50 80 100 200 400 500
RESTHeart 16,28s 6,22s 5,05s 2,53s 3,76s 3,6s 2,98s 5,65s 9,04s 10,74s 6,76s 9,24s 6,76s 12,71s
Direct 1091s 627s 324s 328s 329s 325s 324s 321s 321s 304s 302s 305s 327s 327s

How we tested

Reading and Writing JSON Documents

Hardware

MongoDB and RESTHeart running on Sunfire X2200 M2 with 2 CPU with 16 Gbyte of RAM. See full specification here. This is an old server with 2 dual core 2,2GHz AMD Opteron CPUs.

Test cases run by MacBook Pro client with 2,66 GHz Intel Core i7 and 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

The client and the server on the same local network linked by a 10/100 Ethernet switch.

Software

  • Server OS: Ubuntu server 64bit 14.04.1 LTS
  • Client OS: Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
  • MongoDB: 2.6.7
  • RESTHeart: commit 01d403a5db8b765ad5b0a8eec1fda420c392ab58

Configurations

MongoDB: run (without authentication enabled) with the following command

$numactl --interleave=all /opt/mongodb/bin/mongod --fork --syslog

RESTHeart: run with default parameters with the following exception:

  • logging to file off
  • eager-cursor-allocation-linear-slice-heights set to [50]
  • io-threads: 8 
  • worker-threads: 64 

Test code

We used the brilliant load test tool.

The test case code is available on Github as part of the RESTHeart source code baseline. You can find it here.

Change Streams

Tests have been made simulating a production environment composed by 3 EC2 t3a.medium instances running with Ubuntu 18.04

RESTHeart has been designed and developed with lightness and performances as fundamental parameters. On this regards, also thanks to its caching capabilities, RESTHeart often overcomes the results that can be achieved accessing MongoDB directly via its Java driver.
