Analyzing the Continuous Performance Test results

The ROSA Daily Scheduled Run workflow is an automated process that ensures continuous performance testing which is scheduled to run every weekday.

This workflow initiates by deploying a multi-AZ cluster, activating features such as external Infinispan and persistent sessions. It executes a series of functional tests to verify the system’s performance and stability in an active-active configuration.

Following these tests, a scaling benchmark assesses the system’s ability to handle varying loads, providing crucial insights into performance under real-world conditions and the results are then persisted to a result-data branch in the benchmark’s GitHub repository for further analysis.

This automated schedule ensures consistent testing, early detection of potential issues, and continuous improvement of Keycloak’s performance.

We have a Python script perfInsights.py which allows us to analyze the results generated from the Continuous Performance tests mentioned above.
