To accurately measure the performance of a service mesh at scale, it's important to use an [adequately-sized](https://github.com/istio/tools/tree/3ac7ab40db8a0d595b71f47b8ba246763ecd6213/perf/istio-install#istio-setup) Kubernetes cluster. We test using three worker nodes, each with at least 4 vCPUs and 15 GB of memory.
-Then, it's important to use a production-ready Istio **installation profile** on that cluster. This lets us achieve performance-oriented settings such as control plane pod autoscaling, and ensures that resource limits are appropriate for heavy traffic load. The [default](/docs/setup/install/helm/#option-1-install-with-helm-via-helm-template) Istio installation is suitable for most benchmarking use cases. For extensive performance benchmarking, with thousands of proxy-injected services, we also provide [a tuned Istio install](https://github.com/istio/tools/blob/3ac7ab40db8a0d595b71f47b8ba246763ecd6213/perf/istio-install/values.yaml) that allocates extra memory and CPU to the Istio control plane.

{{< warning_icon >}} Istio's [demo installation](/docs/setup/getting-started/) is not suitable for performance testing, because it is designed to be deployed on a small trial cluster, and has full tracing and access logs enabled to showcase Istio's features.
