Consider a benchmark-style stress test against live nodes #1184

Open digorithm opened 8 months ago

digorithm commented 8 months ago

As a follow-up to https://github.com/FuelLabs/fuels-rs/pull/1172, we should explore the possibility of having the option to stress test a live node. This would happen by generating many random transactions and sending those in parallel to the node.

The client team mentioned the need for something like this to test the health/performance of our nodes, and the Rust SDK could be a good place for this benchmark test suite.

I like this idea very much. Will take it as soon as we fix the issues outlined in #1180 and #1179.

Happy to see someone will work on this :)
Do you know how you might tackle this?
- I ask because we will need this (traffic) downstream in order to test the indexer.
Some notes from me:
- It would be nice for the distribution of data in the blocks (e.g., receipts, transaction count, etc) to match what we might expect from mainnet traffic

Currently, from testing while working in #1172, the SDK doesn't reliably work with live node. So I will not be able to work on this before we have good reliability on querying live nodes using the SDK.

This is moreover blocked by the fact that we don't currently have a beta-5 live node available.
