bitnami/laravel is slower than non-docker Laravel

[drice82]

Name and Version

bitnami/laravel:10 (laravel 11 doen't test)

What is the problem this feature will solve?

bitnami/laravel is slower than non-docker Laravel

What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?

My testing process is as follows:

• Bitnami/laravel + Bitnami/mariadb: slow
• Bitnami/laravel + AWS light sail RDS: slow
• Bitnami/laravel + Mariadb(by Cloudpanel): slow
• Laravel in Cloudpanel(LNMP) + Bitnami/mariadb: normal
• Laravel in Cloudpanel(LNMP) + AWS lightsail RDS: normal

Definition of slow: 3-5s to open a new page.
Definition of normal: 1s to open a new page.

Build my own docker image, based on Bitnami/laravel, copy my web into the image, but the result is still slow.

Hi @drice82,

Can you give us more information on the testing application you are running? I launched a fresh new EC2 instance, and run our bitnami/laravel:10: and bitnami/mariadb:11` containers from a docker-compose file to test. Inside the laravel container I installed the sample laravel-vue-ecommerce project on it.

I have navigated through the website without issues, added products to the cart, etc. Although it is true the first connection took a bit longer than expected, the rest of requests were fast (probably while the Laravel app was creating its internal cache).

Here are also the php artisan serve logs.

root@af9121b4f8e4:/opt/laravel-vue-ecommerce# php artisan serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 -vvvvv

   INFO  Server running on [http://0.0.0.0:8000].

  Press Ctrl+C to stop the server

For a fairer test, I created the following environment:
DB: AWS lightsail RDS, MySQL database (8.0.36), 1 GB RAM, 2 vCPUs, 40 GB SSD, all the test connect to this DB.
And create a lightsail instances to install Cloudpanel(LNMP) and Docker to run Laravel. run on the same server.
The instance is 2 GB RAM, 2 vCPUs, 60 GB SSD, OS is Debian11
The laravel is my own project, it is laravel+Adminlte.
I click the page from page1 to page 15, and record the page 15 result as below:
this is LNMP:

This is Bitnami/Laravel

I only post 2 results, but actually when i click other pages, the result are similar, LNMP takes about 1s to open a new page, and Bitnami/Laravel takes about 4s.

I did similar test in other environment, like Linode server, and tried use Bitnami/Laravel on Lightsail container. But the result was similar.
I tried other Laravel application, also design by myself, the result also similar.

@gongomgra
I tried other nginx-php-fpm docker image, it works well with my application. I think the difference is that the nginx-php-fpm image uses nginx as the HTTP server, and bitnami/Laravel uses PHP’s built-in development server as HTTP server.

Hi @drice82,

Thanks for your message. I agree the performance differences may be related to the Bitnami Laravel container not including a web server like Apache or NGINX but relying on Laravel's HTTP server.
