Title: Konakart cluster and performance level
Post by: ebabkin on December 21, 2007, 10:48:05 am
1. Is there any documentation for building Konakart cluster?
2. I need some performance data at least for single installation. For example,
    2.1 How many catalog page views per hour(day?) could be reached
    2.2 How many orders per hour could be placed
Let's consider CPU 2core 3Ghz, RAM 2GB.
Any numbers are highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Eugene,

We don't publish information on our web site since it is something that we normally do as a consultancy exercise. However, it is relatively simple to set up. Here's a link to an annotated diagram which should give you an idea: http://www.konakart.com/images/kkArchitecture.jpg

I haven't got a number handy for this statistic.

We have done a load testing exercise as follows where our load tester was sending SOAP messages to the KonaKart engines.

Configuration:  41 separate KonaKarts; each with their own MySQL database user
Hardware platform:  2 dual core AMD Opterons running about 2.2GHz per core with 8GB of RAM.

Over a long performance test that lasted 4 hours:

Transaction mix was 1 registration for every 3 orders
The total number of registrations processed was 98400
The total number of orders processed was 295200 which turns out to be 20.5 orders / sec.

The above test was aimed at testing performance for running multiple shops with different KonaKart instances but you can take the figures as an indication of performance.

Paolo
