I wrote an actionloop runtime for NodeJS, to compare performances with the current NodeJS. Source is again in https://github.com/sciabarracom/incubator-openwhisk-runtime-actionloop
Numbers are closer to those of Python: 88 requests/sec bash test.sh msciab/actionloop-nodejs-v6.14 5b63009f3f5736c6bdec65c9f528a8603ce0e11e1d0d04e2c9e9cf41b7ae3ccf {"ok":true} Running 1m test @ http://localhost:8080/run 1 threads and 1 connections Thread Stats Avg Stdev Max +/- Stdev Latency 11.32ms 1.17ms 60.69ms 94.27% Req/Sec 88.60 5.40 101.00 75.71% 5305 requests in 1.00m, 651.85KB read Requests/sec: 88.38 Transfer/sec: 10.86KB The strange thing is I tried to compare performances with the NodeJS runtime but the current one crashes under heavy load using the wrk tool (even with ONE connection and ONE thread). But almost immediately I start to get the error Internal system error: System not ready, status is running. Can someone tell me why this happens and how I you test performances? -- Michele Sciabarra mich...@sciabarra.com
