NucliaDB Performance Tests

Home for the performance / benchmarks tests logic

Running the tests

First, you need to install the package

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

make install

Then start a standalone NucliaDB locally in another terminal, for instance:

DEBUG=true venv/bin/nucliadb

You can change the way NucliaDB is started if you want to test other drivers (pg, local, etc).

And finally run the tests:

make run

The tests are run with Molotov.

You can change the duration of the test and the number of molotov workers started with:

make run kb_slug=tiny max_workers=4 duration_s=20

Also, the tests can be run against three different sizes of predefined KBs: tiny, small or medium. The contents of these KBs are downloaded from a Google Cloud bucket (https://storage.googleapis.com/nucliadb_indexer/nucliadb_performance/exports/$(kb_slug).export) and then imported to the standalone NucliaDB before the tests are run.
