Hello List,
during a small dive into a system with aeolus for one colleague, I discovered that some
views was
really slow and seems that happen in randomic way.
This reason gave me the impression that we should do some benchmarks not with a mere ab or
time curl
but actually measuring the load time of the transaction[1], because this will, from my
point of view
identify possible holes/misconfigurations or simply things we forgotten to optimize/fix.
Also the video cited in [1] enlighted me on what really count to be measured.
To measure the transaction response, we can use a tool, Apache JMeter[2]. With this we
will record
a session of our interest and execute the load test on it. [3]
Hope to have your feedback on this,
Cheers,
-FV
