Nodebb benchmarking userslug api issues

[venkat123]

Hello @PitaJ @julian

I am doing the nodebb api performance testing using JMeter and I am facing some issues with userslug apis

/api/user/:userslug
/api/user/:userslug/upvoted
/api/user/:userslug/downvoted
/api/user/:userslug/bookmarks
/api/user/:userslug/best
/api/user/:userslug/posts

this api are giving around 200 throughput

api flow is
my_application_UI => my_application_Backend => my_middleware => noebb apis

(when I hit https://loadtest.com/discussion/user/:userslug it will go first to my application backend from ther it will go to my middleware service and from there it will go to nodebb apis)

Note:
My application backend and my middleware both are just proxy and there is not functionality added

My server config
my_application_UI => 12 pod 1GB
my middleware => 12 pod
nodebb => 12pod 4gb
mongodb => 4core

can you help me to solve this issues?

@pitaj don't know exactly , also I test user apis

https://community.nodebb.org/api/user/venkat123
https://community.nodebb.org/api/user/venkat123/upvoted
https://community.nodebb.org/api/user/venkat123/downvoted

using AB tool there also seeing low throughput

is it possible to share ur reports and server config?

[PitaJ]

What throughput are you expecting? Is this a bottleneck for your usage?

What is your setup?

@venkat123 said in Nodebb benchmarking userslug api issues:

this api are giving around 200 throughput

What is this metric compared to, for other routes?

@julian

Here is the other api(category details api)

/api/category/:cid

this api is giving 1200 tps

also other apis are giving better tps around 1200.

Environment setup details
NodeBB => 12 Pods(each pod of 4GB RAM)
MondeDB => 1pod(4 core machine)

We are using NodeBB in "Sunbird platform". While we do benchmark of NodeBB API's, we have noticed this issue.

Most of the {userslug} API's are not performaing well(throughput around 140) as metioned by @venkat123 in the above thread.

/api/user/venkat123
/api/user/venkat123/upvoted
/api/user/venkat123/downvoted

Where as Category read API's are performing well. We are alble to get better through put around 1200.

/api/category/:cid
