Run scheduled benchmarks on different sample applications

[pottekkat]

Current Behavior

Currently the tests are run with the sample application of the particular service mesh. This is different for each service mesh.

Desired Behavior

Add sample application as a configurable item and run tests across multiple applications for each service mesh.

A new field should be added here and the scripts needs to be changed to take in this dynamic value.

@navendu-pottekkat Thank you! Do we have the list of sample applications to choose and scripts to install them?

[pottekkat]

We do have sample applications within Meshery but those functionalities aren't available in the CLI yet. We are working on a design specification to add those features.

We do want to use mesheryctl to deploy sample apps if we can or we can come back later and change the script to use mesheryctl.

mesheryctl app onboard file.yaml should work here.

Here is the list of sample apps we use currently.

But for now, we can start with Bookinfo and Emojivoto from Istio and Linkerd. These scripts are already present.

@navendu-pottekkat Thanks, I see. I have another confusing question, the mershery perf will failed when my github token expire after some hours, and I have to get the new token from Meshery UI and re-update my token in github repo. Any way to have a permanent token?

[pottekkat]

Great question. We added indefinite tokens just recently for this use case within CI/CD. Let me share the details over Slack.

@asubedy, up for this?

[asubedy]

Yes I will try to work on this.

Before starting @navendu-pottekkat wanted to make few things clear: So we are trying to check performance of the application say for example bookinfo deployed on other service mesh too like Linkerd and osm and not just on Istio. So for this we need to edit the current scripts of each service mesh to accommodate these different/dynamic application test.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

[leecalcote]

@asubedy yes, that's right.

[asubedy]

Yes ok I'll try this.
