Magento Web workload Benchmark

[kivio]

My proposition is to add real life benchmark for web services. This proposition was tested by our team using Magento (PHP based free to use web shop).

To simulate with you workload which you are interested in this benchmark should share some options:

• Number of DB machines
• Number of Cache machines (default 0 – without cache)
• Number of Web machines (Front-End)
• All-in-one option (run all services on one VM)
• Number of clients at ones (number of clients machines is counted automatically based of that number)
• Shop size (number of products)
• Workload time (default 600s)

Technical spec:

• Magento
• MySQL
• Memcached
• Apache
• Gatling – for traffic simulation

Data are automatically generated on provision machines with DB. Whole test return us:

• Request per second
• Median time of request
• Distribution characteristic

I like what you are proposing and its important to have a solid web workload before we delare v1.0 on PKB :)

Right now EPFL has a pull request for a websearch benchmark here https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/PerfKitBenchmarker/pull/422

Can you check this out an see if it matches your needs?

@kivio - Is this something you are going to work on or should I try and find someone?

@kivio Sounds great. Is there a dataset and a query trace or generator to use with Magento?

@kozyraki We have it done a little bit manually but it's simple to automize. But my biggest problem currently is lack of time to do it.
