This main goal of creating this utility is to provide easy and fast performance testing for Redis.

The list of dependencies are not quite long but yes we do have some dependencies.

• python3

• locust
• json
• argparse
• redis

Don't worry we have taken care the python dependencies in requirments.txt

In this repository we have:-

• Scripts:- Scripts folder contains all the codebase which is required for performance testing.

  • redis_set.py:- This script is used to set random keys in Redis.
  • redis_read.py:- This script is used to perform GET action on Redis.
  • redis_get_set.py: This script is used to perform SET and GET operation simultaneously on Redis.
  • redis.json:- This is a json file in which we have to define our connection details of Redis. I created this file because I believe that code should not be changed.

• Results:- This is a directory in which I am dumping some of my test results.

  • redis_get_1000_users_stats.md:- This is a test result of GET operation with 1000 users.
  • redis_get_set_100_users_stats.md:- This is a test result of GET and SET operation simultaneously with 100 users.

You may need to install python3 manually, for other things you can use requirments.txt

cd Scripts
pip3 install -r requirments.txt

The use of this utility is not a fancy thing, just need to update the redis.json with your redis connection details. Content of file should be like this:-

{
    "redis_host": "18.215.118.208",
    "redis_port": "6379",
    "redis_password": ""
}

./redis_set.py --filepath redis.json

locust -f redis_read.py

locust -f redis_get_set.py
