Nginx BusyBox Apache Comperator

10 years ago I switched apache to nginx, and want to check how are they doing in the docker setup.

Task is to test them

1. for static file serving

   • same files frequently
   • small files (like thumbnails, svg collection upto 10k)
   • normal sized files ( on avarage 1Mb )
   • partial file download ( more then 50Mb )

2. proxy efficiency

   • performance
   • caching perfmance

3. Bonus needs

   • documentation clearity
   • docker image documentation
   • size on disk
   • memory consumption

• Notes:

  I've used normal nginx image since it's recommended in the docs,

  Test can be faulty since docker-proxy gets saturated ( 100% cpu )

  I want to experiment memory server ( will store /dist folder in memory)

Why havent X been tested?

Please open an issue. We will, or better we can pull pr.

Yes busybox has httpd server! Its super fast to install as docker image because its 2MB,
