Introduction
In 2014, a really interesting benchmark about DI Containers for PHP was published on Sitepoint. Unfortunately, the implementation of the tests turned out to be quite controversial, so the benchmark itself wasn't really insightful.
I have been interested in the topic since then so I wanted to conduct another benchmark that also tries to measure real-life performance, while being as unbiased and reliable as possible.
Results
You can find the benchmark results here.
Install
You can simply download or clone this repository as well as install it via Composer by running the command below:
$ composer require kocsismate/di-container-benchmarks:dev-master
Usage
Usage with Docker
As a prerequisite, Docker Compose and at least Docker 17.06 CE has to be installed on your machine in order to use this benchmark method.
Copy the .env.dist
file to .env
and feel free to override the values in it. Now, you can run
./benchmark.sh docker
to execute the measurements.
The HTML output will be generated in the "docs" directory.
Usage on AWS EC2
As a prerequisite, Terraform and git
has to be installed on your machine
in order to use this benchmark method.
First, create the necessary config file by copying the aws.tfvars.dist
to aws.tfvars
in the
build/infrastructure/config/aws.tfvars.dist
directory:
cp build/infrastructure/config/aws.tfvars.dist build/infrastructure/config/aws.tfvars
Then, override the values in it:
-
access_key
: the access key of your AWS account -
secret_key
: the secret access key of your AWS account -
ssh_key_name
: the name of your key pair added to EC2 -
ssh_private_key
: the file name of your private key -
region
: it is "eu-central-1" by default, but you should choose the closest one to your area -
image_name
: the name of the EC2 image -
image_architecture
: the CPU architecture of the EC2 image (e.g. x86_64 or arm64) -
instance_type
: it is "C5.large" by default (this instance type is out of the scope of the free tier!)
Finally, you have to copy your private key in the "build/infrastructure/config" directory with a file name that matches
the one defined in the ssh_private_key
setting.
Now, you are ready to go:
./benchmark.sh aws
The HTML output will be generated in the "docs" directory.
Usage on your host machine
If the above possibilities aren't available to you then you have to take several steps before running the benchmark:
- Install a web server and configure it to be able to serve "public/index.php"
- Install PHP 8.0 at least with OPcache and preloading enabled
- Install Composer
- Set the
BENCHMARK_URL
environment variable to the URL where "public/index.php" is available. For instance:
export BENCHMARK_URL=http://localhost/index.php
Now you can simply type the following in order to run the benchmark:
.\benchmark.sh host
If you don't want to specify the benchmark URL as an environment variable then you can also pass it as an argument:
./benchmark.sh host http://localhost/index.php
Usage from the browser
You can even run tests manually from your browser. When the benchmark's Docker containers are running, just visit
localhost:8090
, otherwise you have to locate the BENCHMARK_URL
URL (mentioned in the previous section). For further
information, refer to the URL in question, it provides you with detailed instructions.
