Run benchmark

Install dependencies

$ npm install

or

$ yarn

For remote test need to install a NATS server too. You may also use Docker container version of this benchmark.

Start nats server (gnatsd) and

$ npm run bench local
$ npm run bench remote

Docker container version

If you don't want to have unneeded dependencies and software on your local computer, you may use Docker to set-up "virtual containers" with this benchmark.

Prerequisities

You need to have Docker and docker-compose installed.

Starting benchmark

Simply run docker-compose up command, so:

• NATS server will be set-up
• All dependencies will be installed
• Benchmark results will be visible in your terminal
