django-performance

Overview

Project is made for an educational purpose. The main aim is to test in practice the server performance in different scenarios.

Quick start

After downloading the repository simply build and run docker containers:

$ docker-compose up --build

Then enter the container serving django API and create a superuser.

$ docker ps
...

$ docker exec -it [container_id] bash
(django_container) $ python manage.py createsuperuser
...

Now populate the database with prepared seeder. Change N variable with any amount of Authors you'd like to create.

(django_container) $ python manage.py create_books_and_authors N

In my case it was 20,000 authors that I created. Now you can log in to django admin panel at http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ and enter credentials that you used to create a superuser. Then you should see your number of authors in Authors section like in the image below.

Testing

To run tests simply run the script located in utils_test_performance/ catalogue.

$ python api_performance.py

Then you should see the output in the terminal and the performance chart should pop up in your screen.
