Benchdog: wrk

A containerized HTTP/1.1 benchmark based on wrk and nginx.

Running the server in Kubernetes

Server namespace:

kubectl create namespace benchdog-server
kubectl config set-context --current --namespace benchdog-server
kubectl apply -f server/
kubectl expose deployment/wrk-server --port 58080 --type LoadBalancer

Running the client in Kubernetes

Client namespace:

kubectl create namespace benchdog-client
kubectl config set-context --current --namespace benchdog-client
kubectl run -it --rm --env BENCHDOG_HOST=<host> --image quay.io/skupper/benchdog-wrk-client wrk-client

Testing with Skupper

Server namespace:

kubectl config set-context --current --namespace benchdog-server
skupper init
skupper token create ~/token.yaml
skupper expose deployment/wrk-server --port 58080

Client namespace:

kubectl config set-context --current --namespace benchdog-client
skupper init
skupper link create ~/token.yaml

Once the wrk-server service appears in the client namespace, you can run the client with --env BENCHDOG_HOST=wrk-server.

Client namespace:

kubectl run -it --rm --env BENCHDOG_HOST=wrk-server --image quay.io/skupper/benchdog-wrk-client wrk-client
