Export Instance UUIDs Test Report
FameFlower Test Results
Overview
- PERF-28Getting issue details... STATUS
Using the Carrier-io framework for capturing and analyzing performance test results, the following tests for the export instance UUIDs workflows were executed. The slowness depends on the number of records retrieved from the database, so we modeled the JMeter test scripts to make queries for a batch of keywords that return anywhere from 10K to 50K instances, and another batch of keywords that results in between 50K and 100K hits. Since these are resource-intensive operations, we did not test these scenarios with more than 5 concurrent users.
The tests were ran with 1 and 5 user with queries which return 10K~50K instances and 50K~100K instances
Backend:
- mod-inventory-storage-19.1.2
- mod-inventory-14.1.3
- mod-authtoken-2.4.0
- mod-permissions-5.9.0
- okapi-2.38.0
Frontend:
- folio_inventory-2.0.2
Folio build was deployed with 50+ ECS services distributed randomly across four m5.large EC2 instances and the database was created on the db.r5.xlarge AWS RDS instance. Logging level was set to default INFO.
High Level Summary
- Most of failed requests were related to GET_/inventory/instances and GET_/instance-bulk/ids that uses mod-inventory-storage, even in a 1-user 30-min test run. This is due to a combination of slow running queries, high memory usage when exporting more than 100K records.
- mod-inventory-storage used 99% of container memory on a machine with 8GB RAM to return 50K to 100K records.
The workflow that retrieves more than 100K records became non-responsive even with 1 user
- The workflow with more than 5 users became non-responsive, indicative of exhausted memory usage. Consider add more memory to mod-inventory-storage container.
- fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper.readValue method of mod-inventory-storage consumed high CPU resources as there were a lot of JSON decoding, this implementation could be reviewed for optimization possibilities.
- Some mod-inventory-storage's SQL queries took more than 500ms to run, see the Slow Queries section and Recommended Improvements for the JIRAs created to address these SQL queries.
- mod-inventory-storage generated missing indexes warnings, see Recommended Improvements for the JIRAs that were created by this testing effort.

*All numbers are in milliseconds except for those in the Delta % column, which indicates the difference in percentage going from 1 to 5 users, 10K~50K instances retrieved
1. High level FameFlower results data
1 and 5 users tests runs, 10K~50K instances
Fig 1.1: The chart shows the overall high-level API stats obtained by JMeter calling various APIs in the save instance UUIDs worfklow. It breaks down average response times for 1 and 5 users tests per API call.
Fig 1.2: The charts below offer a clearer side-by-side comparison for the 1 and 5 users tests runs, 50K~100K instances
A few things to note:
- GET_/inventory/instances and GET_/instance-bulk/ids have the slowest response time. Have failed responses even for 1 user
The workflow with more than 100K records became non-responsive even with 1 user
- The workflow with more than 5 users became unresponsive at times during the test runs, more on that below.

2. CPU Utilization
Fig 2.1 CPU utilization percentage chart for 1 and 5 users test runs retrieving ~10K-50K instances
These services for the selected modules were chosen for their activity in the workflow and prominent values compared to other modules.
The test run with 5 users and 10K~50K instances
Fig 2.2: CPU utilization of various modules running on an EC2 instance, including mod-inventory-storage
Based on this CPU usage chart (Fig 2.2) we can make see that the service consumed the most CPU resources was mod-inventory-storage.
3. Memory Usage
The following data shows memory consumption of ECS services, most notably of mod-inventory-storage during the 5 users and 10K-50K instances retrieved test run.
Fig 3.1: mod-inventory-storage service consumed 99% of allocated RAM memory in the 5 users and 10K-50K instances retrieved test run.
Fig 3.1: mod-inventory-storage service consumed 99% of allocated RAM memory in the 5 users and 50K-100K instances retrieved test run.
Note that when turning on the profiler on mod-inventory-storage, the performance took a nose dive and mod-inventory-storage crashed a few times in a 30 minutes test run. Obviously this put more stress on the module (and no one would run the profiler in production) but it's consistent with observations in bug fest environment that when returning more records, mod-inventory-storage would experience OOM exception and crashed. What is seen here is mod-inventory-storage being at the edge of getting an OOM.

5. Database CPU Utilization
For 1 user - 30 min run
For 5 users - 30 min run
Database CPU usage was not high, but the queries took a long time to return, see below.
6. Database Slow queries
Slowest queries which took the most of execution time were initiated by the mod-inventory-storage service presented in the following table:

7. Database Missing indexes
8. JVM Profiling result
JVM profiling of the most resources consuming mod-inventory-storage service showed 6 methods which had a high CPU usage and impact on the overall service performance.
fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper.readValue method uses most of CPU capacity which leads to performance degradation
Recommended improvement
Consider adding more memory to mod-inventory-storage container if there is a need to export over 100K UUIDs.
