Hello @julian

Recently we updated the nodebb version to v1.18.6 and after updating some plugins are not support and throwing error at build time.

For example

Previously we have nodebb version v1.16.0 and which support nodebb-plugin-mentions (version 3.0.2) and after updating nodebb to v1.18.6 and nodebb-plugin-mentions: 3.0.2 won't support and throws error at build time. There we have to update the plugin version.

We tried below steps also:

Step1: Update the nodebb version to v1.18.6
Step2: Run the ./nodebb setup
Step3: Run the ./nodebb build
Step4: verified the plugins versions in admin pannel.Ex: mentions plugin => 3.0.2 (Which is not suitable for v1.18.6)
Step5: Run the ./nodebb upgrade
Step6: Run the ./nodebb build again.
Step7: Did restart and rebuild of nodebb.
Step8: verified the plugin version but the version is same as previous (3.0.2). But it has to update 3.0.4

Which is not helping. Can you please tell me.
How to update the nodebb plugins without using nodebb admin panel?

We followed this document: Nodebb Doc

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.

@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

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?
