Improved tests for Kong

Global setup

  • Machine: VM with 8 CPU, 16Gb RAM, 100Gb Disk
  • OS:
    • CentOS 7 with latest patches installed (sudo yum update)
    • killall command installed (sudo yum install -y psmisc)
    • login with sudo priviledges (required for we installed software via RPM)

Kong setup

  • installed from Kong's RPM : see https://docs.konghq.com/install/centos/
  • db-less mode enabled and nginx_worker_processes defined (commented by default: default value is auto)
    • more simple to setup
    • don't expect performance issues for an in-memory cache is used 
      # save original kong configuration file
sudo cp -p /etc/kong/kong.conf /etc/kong/kong.conf.original

# enable db-less mode
cat << __EOF__ | sudo tee -a /etc/kong/kong.conf 
# enable db-less mode
database = off
declarative_config = /etc/kong/kong.yml
# default work setting
nginx_worker_processes = auto
__EOF__
  • install script used to run Kong tests:
    • run similar to run.sh from apisix with a few changes
    • tune reference (server provided in incubator-apisix/benchmark/server) server to use half of available CPUs
    • added performance tests of reference server to measure its raw performance
    • kong is reloaded between run (due to db-less mode and start with clean setup)
    • add uptime after each wrk to check load average over the last minute
    • wrk duration set to 60s (so we can check load average never exceeded the number of CPU available over the last minute)
tee kong-run.sh << __EOS__ && chmod +x kong-run.sh

Notes:

  • in tests runs, i had modified my script to:
    • set the number of workers for benchmark server to a fix value (half number of cpus) instead of settings to the same number of workers in kong
    • it didn't change the game

Running kong benchmarks

Running for a number of worker starting at 1 and doubling but never exceeding the number of CPU on machine /2 :

let maxworkers=$(nproc --all)/2; let i=1; while [ $i -le $maxworkers ]; do ./kong-run.sh $i > kong-run-${i}-worker.out; let i=$i*2; done

  1. benchmark server (a simple openresty app):
    • shows excellent performance and scalability
    • as such, it is not a bottleneck in our tests
  2. kong shows similar scalability but drops your throughput significantly and adds latency
    • you process 3 times less with no plugins enabled
    • you process more than 20 times less with rate+prometheus plugins enabled
    • it also adds latency and increases response time variation by the same factors

@cboitel I think we can copy them to APISIX issue: https://github.com/apache/incubator-apisix/issues

Then I will submit a new PR about optimization.

@cboitel have you used any of these after your benchmarks? what is your recommendation for someone looking to adopt any of these?
I am interested in a simple nginx use case + auth for low latency and throughput up to 3000qps in the long run.

@Dhruv-Garg79 Hi, may I ask which API gateway was ultimately chosen?

you can choose the one you like, both of them are open source, you can know everything if you want to research them.

For me: Apache APISIX is better performance and rich ecosystem, it belongs to the Apache Software Foundation, more open and safe
