A much more detailed analaysis is covered at: < insert blog article here >
The following benchmarks command and results, was performed in us-central1-f region. Using N1/N2/E2-standard-4 instances. With N1-standard-4 serving the baseline for comparision. In addition, a seperate N2-Standard-16 was deployed to perform the HTTP wrk bench tests agains the 3 respective servers.
Bench test covers the following
- Sysbench CPU
- Sysbench Memory
- Sysbench Mutex
- Nginx + Wrk
- Redis-Benchmark
Every benchmark test is done 4 times, with the first result ignored (to serve as system warm up), raw-data/<test-type> contains the raw screenshots of the test results.
# Sysbench Setup
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y sysbench
# Sysbench CPU testing
sysbench --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=50000 --num-threads=4 run
# Sysbench Memory testing
sysbench --test=memory --num-threads=4 run
# Sysbench Thread testing
sysbench --test=threads --thread-locks=1 --max-time=20s run
# Sysbench Mutex testing
sysbench --test=mutex --num-threads=64 run
sudo apt-get install -y redis-server
time redis-benchmark -q
For each target server
sudo apt-get install -y nginx
For the bench testing server
sudo apt-get install -y wrk
# Test command for each server
wrk --threads 16 --connections 500 --duration 60s --latency http://<TARGET-SERVER-IP>
