Ask HN: What benchmark would you use for simulating an enterprise web service?
1 point by dddchk on June 1, 2017 | hide | past | favorite
Does anybody know a good benchmark which simulates a Linux enterprise web application/service? I want to compare the cost per transaction for a typical service in different environments, e.g. AWS vs on-prem, using a simulated application. The naive comparison of the capacities for those environments ignores the differences in latencies like IO, network and so on. Those latenices cannot be ignored as they have a non-linear impact on the performance of applications. So I want to do several different setups hosted on comparable capacities, measure their peak performance and then compare the cost per transaction.
