A benchmark suite which measures the requests per second and latency on average for several web servers.

We wanted to prepare some benchmarks to have a general idea about the SWS performance path over time as well as an excuse to improve/optimize SWS in that regard.

• Note that this is a rough reference about some particular performance aspects (requests per second and latency on average) so take itat your own risk.
• Be also aware thatthis benchmark disables in-memory cache for some servers intentionally since SWS doesn't provide such a feature yet.
  In the case of some web servers providing that by default then it gets disabled explicitly. See for examplebinserve's author comment in this context.
• Have also in mind that some web servers follow approaches likeNignx's hybrid disk‑and‑memory cache strategy which could work in its favor.

ChangeURL env with the corresponding server URL to load test and generate thewrk metrics.

# NOTE: the load test is per serverSERVER="sws" URL="http://localhost" make wrk# wrk -c 500 -t 12 -d 10s --latency http://localhost

After that,wrk will save two files (JSON/CSV) on disk with the resulting metrics.
