Fibonacci Benchmark

The Fibonacci benchmark runs the code to generate a fibonacci sequence. For more information on fibonacci sequence see the Wikipedia page for it.

The same functionality is implemented in different runtimes, namely Python, NodeJS and golang.

Running this benchmark locally (using docker)

The detailed and general description how to run benchmarks local you can find here. The following steps show it on the fibonacci-python function.

1. Build or pull the function images using make all-images or make pull.

Invoke once

2. Start the function with docker-compose

   docker-compose -f ./yamls/docker-compose/dc-fibonacci-python.yaml up

3. In a new terminal, invoke the interface function with grpcurl.

   ./tools/bin/grpcurl -plaintext localhost:50000 helloworld.Greeter.SayHello

Invoke multiple times

2. Run the invoker

   # build the invoker binary
   cd ../../tools/invoker
   make invoker
   
   # Specify the hostname through "endpoints.json"
   echo '[ { "hostname": "localhost" } ]' > endpoints.json
   
   # Start the invoker with a chosen RPS rate and time (With relay)
   ./invoker -port 50000 -dbg -time 10 -rps 1

Running this benchmark (using knative)

The detailed and general description how to run benchmarks on knative clusters you can find here. The following steps show it on the fibonacci-python function.

1. Build or pull the function images using make all-images or make pull.
2. Start the function with knative

   kn service apply -f ./yamls/knative/kn-fibonacci-python.yaml

3. Note the URL provided in the output. The part without the http:// we'll call $URL. Replace any instance of $URL in the code below with it.

Invoke once

4. In a new terminal, invoke the interface function with test-client.

   ./test-client --addr $URL:80 --name "Example text for Fibonacci"

Invoke multiple times

4. Run the invoker

   # build the invoker binary
   cd ../../tools/invoker
   make invoker
   
   # Specify the hostname through "endpoints.json"
   echo '[ { "hostname": "$URL" } ]' > endpoints.json
   
   # Start the invoker with a chosen RPS rate and time
   ./invoker -port 80 -dbg -time 10 -rps 1

Tracing

This Benchmark supports distributed tracing for all runtimes. For the general use see vSwarm docs for tracing locally and with knative.
