Hi guys.

I'd like to share a framework which was first built for grpc server benchmark and then it extends to benchmark for any server that fits in the unary/streaming call model.
I call it fperf : Framework of Performance testing. It is really easy and useful for benchmark yourself built servers especially in grpc. I am collecting advices and suggestions, so any issues and pull requests would be welcome. Star the repo on github if you like it, this will move me to keep  working on this project.

Thanks very much !

Hi,

thanks for an interesting contribution. We've recently been improving our performance testing story quite a bit. It's still work in progress, but the main entrypoint is here:

Hi,
I am glad to see the official performance testing tools. I don't know much about run_performance_tests.py. I guess it is built for fixed grpc servers. If it is, fperf works in a different way.
fperf is a performance framework which can be used to build benchmark tool for arbitrary RPC servers or even for common servers like nginx, redis.

Hi Shafreeck,

I was going through https://github.com/shafreeck/fperf developed by you, and I've a question on the same. I've a python gRPC application, and the client interacts with it via gRPC. Can fperf be used to test the performance of Python applications or is it limited to Go? Please let me know. All my further questions depend on this answer.

Thanks,
Harsha
