Benchmark popular Python WSGI servers with Tsung in Kubernetes

Python WSGI Server Benchmark

We run Tsung in Kubernetes to load testing several popular Python WSGI servers to understand the performance of Python servers under high load. This repo described the detailed testing environment.

All the tests are done through Jenkins job and you can find the test results in this spreadsheet. If you wanted to add more target projects to the list or to improve the test cases, feel free to send a PR. You'll find the updated test results after we run the Jenkins job periodically.

Target projects

Currently we test these Python WSGI servers:

• gevent
• Meinheld
• bjoern
• Gunicorn
• uWSGI

Test cases

We run these test cases

• Ping-Pong test

Test methods

For each test target, we run load testing for 90 seconds. For the first 60 seconds, 5 new virtual users got spawned every second. Each virtual user will connect to the target server and fire http GET request for 10000 times.

Tsung will dump test stats every 10 seconds. We will gather all the dumped stats for analysis and plotting.

Test results

We found Bjoern has the highest QPS at around 10,000/s which is quite impressive. You could find the detailed test results at here.
