Heavily based on Cal Paterson's benchmark, with some bugs fixed and some new web servers and web frameworks added.
A description of this benchmark and some results are published in my article Ignore All Web Performance Benchmarks, Including This One.
You can find the implementations of this benchmark for the different web
frameworks, as well as the startup commands for all web servers, in the src
directory.
The run-docker.sh command creates containers for nginx, pgbouncer and
postgres and sets them up for the test. Then it builds a local image with all
the application code and server startup scripts. It finally runs each of the
tests in random order by starting a web server container and a load generator
container. To run one or more specific tests you can pass the test name(s) as
arguments. The list of available tests is in the file tests.txt.
Look at the top of run-docker.sh for the list of environment variables that
configure the test environment.
