Benchmarking KUSANAGI
So, is KUSANAGI actually that fast? Let’s compare the benchmark results to the performance of the WordPress tuning environment we used before.
First, we will use the ab command to check the requests per second of the four possible combinations of web servers Nginx 1.11 and Apache 2.4, with PHP processors HHVM 3.15 and PHP 7.0 (without page caching).
(1) KUSANAGI Benchmark: Apache + PHP 7
Switch KUSANAGI’s middleware configuration to Apache and PHP 7.
kusanagi httpd kusanagi php7
The command to switch KUSANAGI’s middleware to Apache and PHP 7.
Use the ab command. Execute the following command five times at ten second intervals. Using the ab command several times with intervals in between is a warm-up and increases the accuracy of the test.
ab -n 300 -c 30 http://ec2-xxx.xxx.compute.amazonaws.com/
(From here on, “xxx” replaces the address particular to each user)
In my environment, the fifth ab command produced these results:
[root@ip-~]# ab -n 300 -c 30 http://primestrategyus.com/
