Benchmarking

maximus123

I have my development environment running perfectly at:http://forum.maximumtrainer.com:4567/

Before going to prod, i'd like to test and see how many users can use the forum at the same time and see the overall performance I get. Is there such tools with nodeBB?

Currently using only 1 process on port 4567 and Redis 2.8.19.
I'd like to improve the performance of the forums to the best I can.
Thanks!

... but benchmarking is a bit tougher, since there are no real tools to emulate usage via websockets...

Thanks, guess i'll have to learn how to use proxy on apache 2.2, not sure my VPS provider will let me play with this but worth a try!
Question: Can I put my instance on port 80 if I have only one so that the port can be omitted?

Use nginx as a reverse proxy to forward ports from :80 to :4567.

Here's a guide

My VPS is on apache 2.2.27, not sure I can install another webserver that replace it?
Nginx looks to be the easiest solution tough.. thanks

You can use apache too, but Nginx is a nicer experience.

Here's the guide for 2.2.xx
