# Dify Stress Test Suite
|
||||
|
||||
A high-performance stress test suite for Dify workflow execution using **Locust** - optimized for measuring Server-Sent Events (SSE) streaming performance.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Metrics Tracked
|
||||
|
||||
The stress test focuses on four critical SSE performance indicators:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Active SSE Connections** - Real-time count of open SSE connections
|
||||
1. **New Connection Rate** - Connections per second (conn/sec)
|
||||
1. **Time to First Event (TTFE)** - Latency until first SSE event arrives
|
||||
1. **Event Throughput** - Events per second (events/sec)
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
- **True SSE Support**: Properly handles Server-Sent Events streaming without premature connection closure
|
||||
- **Real-time Metrics**: Live reporting every 5 seconds during tests
|
||||
- **Comprehensive Tracking**:
|
||||
- Active connection monitoring
|
||||
- Connection establishment rate
|
||||
- Event processing throughput
|
||||
- TTFE distribution analysis
|
||||
- **Multiple Interfaces**:
|
||||
- Web UI for real-time monitoring (<http://localhost:8089>)
|
||||
- Headless mode with periodic console updates
|
||||
- **Detailed Reports**: Final statistics with overall rates and averages
|
||||
- **Easy Configuration**: Uses existing API key configuration from setup
|
||||
|
||||
## What Gets Measured
|
||||
|
||||
The stress test focuses on SSE streaming performance with these key metrics:
|
||||
|
||||
### Primary Endpoint: `/v1/workflows/run`
|
||||
|
||||
The stress test tests a single endpoint with comprehensive SSE metrics tracking:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Request Type**: POST request to workflow execution API
|
||||
- **Response Type**: Server-Sent Events (SSE) stream
|
||||
- **Payload**: Random questions from a configurable pool
|
||||
- **Concurrency**: Configurable from 1 to 1000+ simultaneous users
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Performance Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. **Active Connections**
|
||||
|
||||
- **What it measures**: Number of concurrent SSE connections open at any moment
|
||||
- **Why it matters**: Shows system's ability to handle parallel streams
|
||||
- **Good values**: Should remain stable under load without drops
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. **Connection Rate (conn/sec)**
|
||||
|
||||
- **What it measures**: How fast new SSE connections are established
|
||||
- **Why it matters**: Indicates system's ability to handle connection spikes
|
||||
- **Good values**:
|
||||
- Light load: 5-10 conn/sec
|
||||
- Medium load: 20-50 conn/sec
|
||||
- Heavy load: 100+ conn/sec
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3. **Time to First Event (TTFE)**
|
||||
|
||||
- **What it measures**: Latency from request sent to first SSE event received
|
||||
- **Why it matters**: Critical for user experience - faster TTFE = better perceived performance
|
||||
- **Good values**:
|
||||
- Excellent: < 50ms
|
||||
- Good: 50-100ms
|
||||
- Acceptable: 100-500ms
|
||||
- Poor: > 500ms
|
||||
|
||||
#### 4. **Event Throughput (events/sec)**
|
||||
|
||||
- **What it measures**: Rate of SSE events being delivered across all connections
|
||||
- **Why it matters**: Shows actual data delivery performance
|
||||
- **Expected values**: Depends on workflow complexity and number of connections
|
||||
- Single connection: 10-20 events/sec
|
||||
- 10 connections: 50-100 events/sec
|
||||
- 100 connections: 200-500 events/sec
|
||||
|
||||
#### 5. **Request/Response Times**
|
||||
|
||||
- **P50 (Median)**: 50% of requests complete within this time
|
||||
- **P95**: 95% of requests complete within this time
|
||||
- **P99**: 99% of requests complete within this time
|
||||
- **Min/Max**: Best and worst case response times
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Dependencies are automatically installed** when running setup:
|
||||
|
||||
- Locust (load testing framework)
|
||||
- sseclient-py (SSE client library)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Complete Dify setup**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Run the complete setup
|
||||
python scripts/stress-test/setup_all.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Ensure services are running**:
|
||||
|
||||
**IMPORTANT**: For accurate stress testing, run the API server with Gunicorn in production mode:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Run from the api directory
|
||||
cd api
|
||||
uv run gunicorn \
|
||||
--bind 0.0.0.0:5001 \
|
||||
--workers 4 \
|
||||
--worker-class gevent \
|
||||
--timeout 120 \
|
||||
--keep-alive 5 \
|
||||
--log-level info \
|
||||
--access-logfile - \
|
||||
--error-logfile - \
|
||||
app:app
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Configuration options explained**:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--workers 4`: Number of worker processes (adjust based on CPU cores)
|
||||
- `--worker-class gevent`: Async worker for handling concurrent connections
|
||||
- `--timeout 120`: Worker timeout for long-running requests
|
||||
- `--keep-alive 5`: Keep connections alive for SSE streaming
|
||||
|
||||
**NOT RECOMMENDED for stress testing**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Debug mode - DO NOT use for stress testing (slow performance)
|
||||
./dev/start-api # This runs Flask in debug mode with single-threaded execution
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Also start the Mock OpenAI server**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python scripts/stress-test/setup/mock_openai_server.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Running the Stress Test
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Run with default configuration (headless mode)
|
||||
./scripts/stress-test/run_locust_stress_test.sh
|
||||
|
||||
# Or run directly with uv
|
||||
uv run --project api python -m locust -f scripts/stress-test/sse_benchmark.py --host http://localhost:5001
|
||||
|
||||
# Run with Web UI (access at http://localhost:8089)
|
||||
uv run --project api python -m locust -f scripts/stress-test/sse_benchmark.py --host http://localhost:5001 --web-port 8089
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The script will:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Validate that all required services are running
|
||||
1. Check API token availability
|
||||
1. Execute the Locust stress test with SSE support
|
||||
1. Generate comprehensive reports in the `reports/` directory
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
The stress test configuration is in `locust.conf`:
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
users = 10 # Number of concurrent users
|
||||
spawn-rate = 2 # Users spawned per second
|
||||
run-time = 1m # Test duration (30s, 5m, 1h)
|
||||
headless = true # Run without web UI
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom Question Sets
|
||||
|
||||
Modify the questions list in `sse_benchmark.py`:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
self.questions = [
|
||||
"Your custom question 1",
|
||||
"Your custom question 2",
|
||||
# Add more questions...
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Understanding the Results
|
||||
|
||||

## Test Scenarios
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
concurrency: 10
|
||||
iterations: 100
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Normal Load

|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
concurrency: 1000
|
||||
iterations: 10000
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Tuning
|
||||
|
||||
### API Server Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
**Gunicorn Tuning for Different Load Levels**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Light load (10-50 concurrent users)
|
||||
uv run gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:5001 --workers 2 --worker-class gevent app:app
|
||||
|
||||
# Medium load (50-200 concurrent users)
|
||||
uv run gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:5001 --workers 4 --worker-class gevent --worker-connections 1000 app:app
|
||||
|
||||
# Heavy load (200-1000 concurrent users)
|
||||
uv run gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:5001 --workers 8 --worker-class gevent --worker-connections 2000 --max-requests 1000 app:app
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Worker calculation formula**:
|
||||
|
||||
- Workers = (2 × CPU cores) + 1
|
||||
- For SSE/WebSocket: Use gevent worker class
|
||||
- For CPU-bound tasks: Use sync workers
|
||||
|
||||
### Database Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
**PostgreSQL Connection Pool Tuning**:
|
||||
|
||||
For high-concurrency stress testing, increase the PostgreSQL max connections in `docker/middleware.env`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Edit docker/middleware.env
|
||||
POSTGRES_MAX_CONNECTIONS=200 # Default is 100
|
||||
|
||||
# Recommended values for different load levels:
|
||||
# Light load (10-50 users): 100 (default)
|
||||
# Medium load (50-200 users): 200
|
||||
# Heavy load (200-1000 users): 500
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After changing, restart the PostgreSQL container:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.middleware.yaml down db
|
||||
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.middleware.yaml up -d db
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: Each connection uses ~10MB of RAM. Ensure your database server has sufficient memory:
|
||||
|
||||
- 100 connections: ~1GB RAM
|
||||
- 200 connections: ~2GB RAM
|
||||
- 500 connections: ~5GB RAM
|
||||
|
||||
### System Optimizations
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Increase file descriptor limits**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ulimit -n 65536
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. **TCP tuning for high concurrency** (Linux):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Increase TCP buffer sizes
|
||||
sudo sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=134217728
|
||||
sudo sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=134217728
|
||||
|
||||
# Enable TCP fast open
|
||||
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_fastopen=3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. **macOS specific**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Increase maximum connections
|
||||
sudo sysctl -w kern.ipc.somaxconn=2048
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
1. **"ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'locust'"**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Dependencies are installed automatically, but if needed:
|
||||
uv --project api add --dev locust sseclient-py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. **"API key configuration not found"**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Run setup
|
||||
python scripts/stress-test/setup_all.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Services not running**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Start Dify API with Gunicorn (production mode)
|
||||
cd api
|
||||
uv run gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:5001 --workers 4 --worker-class gevent app:app
|
||||
|
||||
# Start Mock OpenAI server
|
||||
python scripts/stress-test/setup/mock_openai_server.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. **High error rate**:
|
||||
|
||||
- Reduce concurrency level
|
||||
- Check system resources (CPU, memory)
|
||||
- Review API server logs for errors
|
||||
- Increase timeout values if needed
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Permission denied running script**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
chmod +x run_benchmark.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Running Multiple Iterations
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Run stress test 3 times with 60-second intervals
|
||||
for i in {1..3}; do
|
||||
echo "Run $i of 3"
|
||||
./run_locust_stress_test.sh
|
||||
sleep 60
|
||||
done
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom Locust Options
|
||||
|
||||
Run Locust directly with custom options:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# With specific user count and spawn rate
|
||||
uv run --project api python -m locust -f scripts/stress-test/sse_benchmark.py \
|
||||
--host http://localhost:5001 --users 50 --spawn-rate 5
|
||||
|
||||
# Generate CSV reports
|
||||
uv run --project api python -m locust -f scripts/stress-test/sse_benchmark.py \
|
||||
--host http://localhost:5001 --csv reports/results
|
||||
|
||||
# Run for specific duration
|
||||
uv run --project api python -m locust -f scripts/stress-test/sse_benchmark.py \
|
||||
--host http://localhost:5001 --run-time 5m --headless
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Comparing Results
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Compare multiple stress test runs
|
||||
ls -la reports/stress_test_*.txt | tail -5
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Interpreting Performance Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### High Response Times
|
||||
|
||||
Possible causes:
|
||||
|
||||
- Database query performance
|
||||
- External API latency
|
||||
- Insufficient server resources
|
||||
- Network congestion
|
||||
|
||||
### Low Throughput (RPS < 10)
|
||||
|
||||
Check for:
|
||||
|
||||
- CPU bottlenecks
|
||||
- Memory constraints
|
||||
- Database connection pooling
|
||||
- API rate limiting
|
||||
|
||||
### High Error Rate
|
||||
|
||||
Investigate:
|
||||
|
||||
- Server error logs
|
||||
- Resource exhaustion
|
||||
- Timeout configurations
|
||||
- Connection limits
|
||||
|
||||
## Why Locust?
|
||||
|
||||
Locust was chosen over Drill for this stress test because:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Proper SSE Support**: Correctly handles streaming responses without premature closure
|
||||
1. **Custom Metrics**: Can track SSE-specific metrics like TTFE and stream duration
|
||||
1. **Web UI**: Real-time monitoring and control via web interface
|
||||
1. **Python Integration**: Seamlessly integrates with existing Python setup code
|
||||
1. **Extensibility**: Easy to customize for specific testing scenarios
|
||||
