Web server

Architecture: fork per request (blocking).

Stress testing

On my own machine and in docker container

I use Apache benchmarking tool to count performance. I use this command to give all RPS:

ab -n 50000 -c 100 http://localhost:8081/httptest/wikipedia_russia.html

for my machine and

ab -n 10000 -c 100 http://localhost:80/httptest/wikipedia_russia.html

for docker.

There is a table which show dependence of used CPUs of requests per second

CPUs	RPS on my machine	RPS in Docker container
1	1743.84	878.23
2	2031.55	872.82
3	2072.09	903.86
4	2116.24	1024.65
5	2113.45	1041.20
6	2088.72	1020.67
7	2089.40	1035.54
8	2038.89	1005.36

Comparison with nginx

I will test it on my machine by following command:

ab -n 10000 -c 100 http://localhost:80/httptest/wikipedia_russia.html

Also I set 4 CPUs for both servers. So there are the results:

My machine: 1786.04 rps

Nginx: 3244.02 rps

The result: 1.81 times nginx server is more than my.
