Performance

Dubbo performance report

Test instructions

  1. In this performance test, the performance of all Dubbo 2.0 supported protocols in different sizes and data types is tested and compared with the Dubbo 1.0.
  2. The overall performance is increased by 1.0 compared with 10%, and the average increase is 10%. The performance improvement of 10%~50% can also be achieved by using the new Dubbo serialization of Dubbo 2.0 .
  3. In the stability test, because the underlying communication framework is changed from Mina to netty, the growth of objects in old area is greatly reduced, and the 50 hour operation increases less than 200m and no fullgc.
  4. There is a problem: performance of 2.0 is less than 1.0 in 50K data, and it is doubted that it may be a buffer setting problem, and the next version will be further confirmed.

Expected operating conditions (non quantified, optional)

  • The performance of 2.0 is not less than 1, and the performance of the intermodulation of 2.0 and 1.0 is not significantly reduced. In addition to 50K string, the rest are passed
  • JVM memory is running stable, no OOM, and there is no reasonable large object in the heap memory. Passed
  • CPU, memory, network, disk, file handle are occupied smoothly. Passed
  • There is no frequent thread lock, and the number of threads is stable. Passed
  • Business thread load balance. Passed

Test script

  1. Performance test scence (10 concurrency)

    • Pass in 1K String, do not do anything, return the original
    • Pass in 50K String, do not do anything, return the original
    • Pass in 200K String, do not do anything, return the original
    • Incoming 1K POJO (nested complex person objects) without any processing, return to the original

    The above scenario is tested for 10 minutes in Dubbo 1.0, Dubbo 2.0 (hessian2 serialization), Dubbo 2.0 (Dubbo serialization), RMI, Hessian 3.2.0, HTTP (JSON serialization). It mainly examines the performance of serialization and network IO, so the server has no business logic. 10 is to consider the concurrent HTTP protocol in high with the use of CPU high rate may hit the bottleneck.

  2. Concurrent scene (20 concurrency) 1K String is introduced into the server segment for 1W times, and a random number is regenerated each time and then assembled. Examine whether business threads can be assigned to each CPU.

  3. Stability scence (20 concurrency) At the same time, we call the 1 parameter String (5K) method, the 1 parameter is the person object method, the 1 parameter is map (the value is 3 person), and it runs for 50 hours continuously.

  4. High pressure scene (20 concurrency) On the basis of the stability scenario, the providers and consumers are arranged into 2 sets (one machine and 2 instances), and the parameters of String are 20byte to 200K, and are randomly transformed every 10 minutes.

Test analysis

Performance analysis and evaluation

The performance test conclusion of Dubbo 2 has been improved and improved from performance, memory footprint and stability. Because of its memory management, the change of Mina into netty greatly reduces the 1 version of the large memory sawtooth in high concurrency and large data.

Performance comparison analysis (new and old environment, different data magnitude, etc.)

The performance of Dubbo 2 is compared with that of Dubbo 1, which is all hessian2 serialization. The performance is improved (except for 50K String). See the performance data of the fifth chapter in detail.

For compatibility default serialization and 1 consistent with hessian2, such as have higher requirements on the performance of Dubbo serialization can be used, which is in the process of complicated object, can be obtained in 50% large data upgrade (but it is not recommended for use Dubbo protocol).

The purpose of Dubbo is to meet the RPC calls with high concurrent and small data volume. The performance is not good under large data volume. It is recommended to use RMI or HTTP protocol.

Test limitation analysis (optional)

This performance test examines the performance of the Dubbo itself, and the performance of the actual use needs to be verified.

Because the performance of Dubbo itself is in millisecond and the base number is small, performance improvement may not change the performance of the application as a whole.

All the monitoring charts are not listed because of the limit of length.
