Performance Testing Tyk with Ansible

Requirements

1. Ansible.

Getting Started

1. Clone repo and navigate to the repo directory.

2. Run initalization script to initialize environment sh scripts/init.sh.

3. Create 5 different servers to conduct the testing:

• Upstream: expose port 8000 (ex. c5.2xlarge)
• Load Generator (ex. c5.2xlarge)
• Tyk: expose port 8080 (ex. c5.2xlarge)
• Kong: expose port 8000 (ex. c5.2xlarge)
• Apollo: expose port 4000 (ex. c5.2xlarge)

4. Modify hosts.yml file to update ssh variables to your server(s). You can learn more about the hosts file here.

5. Run sudo ansible-playbook playbook.yml -t install -t standup -t test to run performance tests. sudo is used to allow ansible to create the performance testing results files on your local machine.

6. View output of performance tests under ./benchmarks/.

7. Run ansible-playbook playbook.yml -t cleanup to cleanup files and turn off services on the machines.
