Types of load tests

Load test types explained by k6. Smoke tests Verify that your system can handle minimal load, without any problems. Like 1 rps for 1 minute. Load tests Assess system performance in terms of concurrent users or requests per second. If you want to make sure that you can handle 500 rps, you can gradually increase …

LSM-tree for write-intensive storages

LSM, or Log-structured Merge-Tree is used to improve the performance for write-intensive storages. 1. Writes are merged in memory using red-black tree, then flushed to disk sorted — SSTable or Sorted Strings Table. 2. For reads, we use Sparse Index to speed up the seeks, and Bloom Filter to speed up the non-present keys checks. …

Go memory hints

Below hints are related to very hot places of CPU/memory bound programs. And in regular (i/o bound) programs do not make much sense. Stack vs heap Go’s compiler goal is to allocate on the stack as much as possible. As it will reduce the amount of data that needs to be cleaned by the Garbage …

Create SQS queues on localstack container start

Put this file to your filesystem as ←anyname.sh→:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -euo pipefail

# enable debug
# set -x


echo "configuring sqs"
echo "==================="
LOCALSTACK_HOST=localhost
AWS_REGION=eu-central-1


# https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/sqs/create-queue.html
create_queue() {
	local QUEUE_NAME_TO_CREATE=$1
	awslocal --endpoint-url=http://${LOCALSTACK_HOST}:4566 sqs create-queue --queue-name ${QUEUE_NAME_TO_CREATE} --region ${AWS_REGION} --attributes VisibilityTimeout=30
}

create_queue "queue2"
create_queue "queue1"

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -euo pipefail

# enable debug

# set -x

echo "configuring sqs"

echo "==================="

LOCALSTACK_HOST=localhost

AWS_REGION=eu-central-1

# https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/sqs/create-queue.html

create_queue() {

local QUEUE_NAME_TO_CREATE=$1

awslocal --endpoint-url=http://${LOCALSTACK_HOST}:4566 sqs create-queue --queue-name ${QUEUE_NAME_TO_CREATE} --region ${AWS_REGION} --attributes VisibilityTimeout=30

}

create_queue "queue2"

create_queue "queue1"

For instance, ./localstack_bootstrap/sqs_bootstrap.sh. Don’t forget to run chmod +x ./localstack_bootstrap/sqs_bootstrap.sh. Add this line to your docker-compose.yml: — ./localstack_bootstrap:/docker-entrypoint-initaws.d/. So it could look like this:

services:
  localstack:
    container_name: aws_sqs
    hostname: sqs
    image: localstack/localstack:latest
    environment:
      - AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=ap-southeast-1
      - EDGE_PORT=4566
      - SERVICES=sqs
    ports:
      - '4566:4566'
    volumes:
      - "${TMPDIR:-/tmp/localstack}:/tmp/localstack"
      - "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock"
      - ./localstack_bootstrap:/docker-entrypoint-initaws.d/

services:

localstack:

container_name: aws_sqs

hostname: sqs

image: localstack/localstack:latest

environment:

- AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=ap-southeast-1

- EDGE_PORT=4566

- SERVICES=sqs

ports:

- '4566:4566'

volumes:

- "${TMPDIR:-/tmp/localstack}:/tmp/localstack"

- "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock"

- ./localstack_bootstrap:/docker-entrypoint-initaws.d/

Then your queues can be reached by URLs http://localhost:4566/000000000000/queue1 and http://localhost:4566/000000000000/queue2.
