Summary: | The complexity and volatility inherent in software development have led many
companies to adopt microservice architecture. However, microservices as a
distributed system introduce new challenges, with performance testing being a
significant one. Early performance testing is crucial to minimizing unexpected costs
due to performance issues in the production environment. A tool was developed for
this final project to facilitate easier microservice performance testing within
Kubernetes, enabling early identification of performance issues. This tool aids in the
collection of traces and resource usage data of applications through the
OpenTelemetry Collector, the substitution of services with Mountebank virtual
services, and the definition of data for the virtual services. In a test conducted on the
OpenTelemetry Demo microservice, substituting the Checkout Service with a virtual
service reduced CPU and memory usage by 33% and 47%, respectively. While there
were no significant differences in average response time, the virtual service did not
effectively simulate response time fluctuations. Performance testing without fully
developed dependencies can be performed through performance budgeting, but
significant differences in response time were observed. |
