How to benchmark web application end points with specific rates, if possible?

[ribubrar]

Hi @sebastienros
I am looking to benchmark different web application endpoints with specific rates, and those endpoints are invoking methods I am looking to benchmark.

Regarding the previous thread, customizing requests per second, it works perfectly well for benchmarking the whole application at different rates.

I am wondering if I can achieve something like calling "/users" at rate 5, "/products" at rate 100, and "/customers" at rate 10?

[Route("users")]
public User GetUsers() 
{...}

[Route("products")]
public User GetProducts()
{...}

[Route("customers")]
public User GetCustomers()
{...}

Thank you in advance!

Yes, the bombardier client has a rate variable that you can set in a scenario. So in your case you would have 3 scenarios, each targeting a different endpoint with a different variable like rate: 5

Thanks for that @sebastienros . Does that mean I would need to run the controller separately for each scenario?

crank --config C:\Project\benchmarks.yml --scenario users --profile local --sql "..." --table CrankResult

crank --config C:\Project\benchmarks.yml --scenario products --profile local --sql "..." --table CrankResult

crank --config C:\Project\benchmarks.yml --scenario customers --profile local --sql "..." --table CrankResult

Otherwise, is there a way I can configure the controller command to run all the scenarios in one statement?

You can have multiple services in your scenario, can call them load_users, load_customer, load_products for instance, and the results would show 3 tables with different RPS. You wouldn't be able to distinguish the server-side metrics for each results though. If you care then you need 3 different runs on 3 different scenarios.
