Building Microservices with Go

Efficiency

Micro performs admirably, managing to hold 400 connections with roughly a 125 ms response. The response time gives us nearly 3,000 requests per second. While this is not a direct reflection of how your server will perform in production, we will be using the same setup to test all the frameworks in this chapter. When load testing Micro, the memory consumption was efficient, only consuming approximately 10% of the available memory on the server. CPU loads, like all tests, were running at maximum, but this is to be expected when the system is handling so many concurrent requests for such a small setup.

The results are as follows:

Threads	400
Total requests:	806,011
Avg. request time	125.58 ms
Total success
