Performance Data

[sridhard]

Hi,

Is there any performance reports available for IronFunctions. I want to know the performance of IronFunctions compared to lambda/google-functions. Mainly the response time for different languages, max execution time

[prologic]

I did some empirical testing and I'm finding the performance around ~600-700ms for a simple "Hello World!" function written in Go. I suspect some low hanging fruit for optimizations here.

[prologic]

I also suspect much of the performance gains can be made by keeping a pool of containers for "warm" runs of functions as ~400ms comes from "cold" start of the simplest of container:

$ time dki -t --rm busybox echo 'Hello World'
Hello World

real	0m0.431s

Hello,

There is actually support hot functions

https://github.com/iron-io/functions/blob/master/docs/hot-functions.md

This is little bit dated, but should still work. We would really appreciate any input !

This feature must not be on by default correct?

It is on by default. You can set container type by format parameter.

format (mandatory) either "default" or "http". If "http", then it is a hot container

[prologic]

I see; in that case do we still expect the kind of latency I posted earlier?
