Running Benchmarks
Run the benchmarks against Keycloak instances.
Alternatives to run benchmarks
- Running benchmarks from the CLI
-
Generic command line to run the benchmarks from any host against an already provisioned Keycloak instance.
Use this to run a Keycloak benchmark against a locally running Keycloak instance. When running more than 300 new users per second against a remote instance of Keycloak, the load generation might stall due to a lot of network connections in
TIME_WAITmode. In those cases, use the Running benchmarks via Ansible and EC2 or a similar mechanism to split the load generation across multiple nodes. - Running benchmarks via Ansible and EC2
-
This extends the generic CLI with an automated setup using Ansible for Amazon Web Services EC2 instances to run the load tests.
Use this when a single instance for load generation is not enough when for example network connections can’t be established fast enough due to too many connections in the status
TIMED_WAIT. It also helps you to have a load driver in the same or a different AWS region to have a minimal latency or simulating a latency as observed by users.
