Description

Most part of our tests are functional and its duration is not more than 1-3 minutes on a single tarantool instance. So we are lack of load testing on a single tarantool for a long time, for example week, although it is usual practice to test server applications under a production (or production-like) load for a week.

This task is about:

  • find load pattern and data for such test. Right now I see some variants. First one: take a real production Lua application, run it in a house and load it by requests. Second one: replay logs from production servers previously sanitize to avoid leaks. Second approach used in PostgreSQL testing: see Statement Playback, pgreplay-go, pgreplay
  • add test to development cycle

Research direction

Start by defining a production-like load pattern and dataset for a single Tarantool instance. Compare running a real Lua application with replaying sanitized production logs, using the PostgreSQL Statement Playback, pgreplay-go, and pgreplay references as context. The work is done when a long-running load test and its integration into the development cycle are specified and added.
