Check-in-check-out Test Report (Fameflower)

Overview

In this workflow we are checking the performance of the check-in-check-out workflow running in the Fameflower release ( PERF-9 - Getting issue details... STATUS ).  We will test it with 1, 5, 8, and 20 virtual users for 30 minutes.  A longevity test will also be executed to see if there were memory issues.

Backend:

  • mod-circulation-18.0.9
  • mod-circulation-storage-11.0.8
  • mod-inventory-storage-19.1.2
  • mod-inventory-14.1.3
  • okapi-2.38.0

Frontend:

  • folio_circulation-2.0.0
  • Item Check-in (folio_checkin-2.0.1)
  • Item Check-out (folio_checkout-3.0.2)

Environment:

  • 55 back-end modules deployed in 110 ECS services
  • 3 okapi ECS services
  • 8 m5.large  EC2 instances
  •  db.r5.xlarge AWS RDS instance
  • INFO logging level

High Level Summary

  1. Overall check in, check out time in seconds

    1. Average check in time is 1.51 seconds for a typical use case of 8 users, 1.65 seconds for 20 users
    2. Average check out time is 1.75 seconds for a typical use case of 8 users, 1.90 seconds for 20 users
  2. Slow APIs taking more than 100ms to run 
    1. POST checkout-by-barcode
    2. POST checkin-by-barcode 
    3. Get circulation/loans
    4. Get inventory/items
  3. mod-circulation-storage log warnings for missing indexes - 64K lines in  45 minutes run. Logging level could be reduced to WARNING or INFO, but at the cost of having less data to work with should there be a need to troubleshoot. Adding the missing indexes could improve performance while stop logging these warnings  CIRCSTORE-215 - Getting issue details... STATUS
  4. JVM profiling shows JSON de/serialization operations one of the slowest operations, totaling more CPU time than other calls.  Since FOLIO modules retrieve and stores JSON objects, making sure that serializing and deserializing JSON efficient is essential, see Recommended Improvements

JVM Profiling

  • Only slow Okapi methods:


When drilling down org.folio.okapi.managers.ModuleManager.getEnabledModules, we get the following tree.

  • Slow mod-circulation methods:

Database

Database does not show much CPU usage for 1, 5, 8 and 20 users runs.  At maximum only 25% CPU usage for the high case of 20 users.


The following WARNING statements of missing indexes were generated during a test run and logged by mod-circulation-storage:

Logging

With INFO log level, In a 45 minutes run,  there were more than 66K lines of log in mod-circulation-storage logs, 64K of them were the following warnings.  Indeed this corroborates with the JVM profiling showing one of the top 3 slowest methods is for logging.
