Hi all,
After showing how great a fit CouchDB is in the proof of concept
stage, I
have now been tasked with specing a production machine.
Does anyone have recommendations/gotchas for CouchDB production
environments
? As an idea of scale the site is expected to handle 8,000,000 hits
per
month (approx 250,000 per day) and while Couch isnt providing all of
the
site functionality it is supporting the tagging elements which is a
major
part of the site.
We have a large SAN / VMWare-based virtualised infrastructure and
(Please
correct me if I'm wrong) I remember reading that disk-seek
performance is
probably more important than processor for a CouchDB environment so
I am
also looking at a good way to get some test metrics to see if a VM
box will
be up to scratch.
Should running the test suite (from futon) give me a good idea of
performance rates of a single machine if I can get one put together ?
In addition to the other excellent recommendations.
The test suite is not a good performance benchmark. Robert Dionne has
some performance tests, but I don't know where they currently are :)
Cheers
Jan
