Traefik vs. Nginx performance benchmark

[@AntonPutra]

[@Openspeedtest]

This is why Nginx is the undisputed King for superior performance with minimum resource utilization.

[@AntonPutra]

For now =)

[@tcurdt]

and the configuration is less of a nightmare the traefik config is

[@nikolas4786]

And security nginx is the best

Until pingora arrived

@@altairbueno5637 AFAIU it hasn't been open sourced yet. Or did I miss that?

[@javohirmirzo]

recently i started getting your videos recommended. they are very interesting indeed. keep up the good work!

[@AntonPutra]

Thanks Javohir!

[@blender_wiki]

The best, or even the only real, comparison video I found on yt. 🙏🙏🙏 Nice testing protcol.

[@wanarchives]

yeah, his video is mind blown to me, i never seen any utuber does benchmarck like this guy....super nice

[@kingsathurthi]

Very interesting to see the performance difference, thanks for making this video

[@AntonPutra]

No problem!

you're welcome =)

[@yabokunokami8418]

Your videos are really great. Keep up the good work!🔥

Thanks, will do!

Thank you for sharing these well designed tests - am learning a lot!

Thank you!

[@Nick-yd3rc]

Thanks, really like your videos. Would appreciate a comparison with haproxy next time

[@AntonPutra]

Thanks, got it

[@КириллКириллович]

Годно, спасибо! Было очевидно, что nginx - это слишком мощный и хорошо написанный инструмент, повторить его результаты на языках с gc почти невозможно. Буду использовать это видео как аргумент 😊

Hi, Thanks, I like your videos. Would appreciate a comparison with Traefik vs Caddy 2 next time

[@AntonPutra]

Sure

[@alt404s]

I just want to say thank you for these very interesting videos. I want you to know that you've been helping me improve in my career and get better jobs. Thank you sir! (I'm subbed!)

Thank you KWKOPS!

Interesting, I used apache (httpd) as a reverse proxy, historically mostly, interesting how would it compare. And such surprising results for grpc, I would never guess it can be this way. Although I’m wandering wether the actual backend service implementation could affect the results somehow. Don’t see any legitimate reason for proxies to behave this way. I can see the request time much longer for grpc, so longer lasting connections could possibly consume more resources on the proxy side. It seems the answer may be in the app. I think so. Backend analysis might help to figure out. Although in general I surprised how poorly the grpc system behaves. I thought it’s kinda the holy grail for the low latency systems. I would definitely appreciate more in depth analysis of the topic.

[@AntonPutra]

Thanks Kyrylo for the feedback. I'll try to figure it out.

[@altverskov]

Great video!

[@AntonPutra]

Thanks!

[@dgjtf]

great! would like to see benchmark about envoy proxy

[@AntonPutra]

Coming soon!

[@Phyx1u5]

Thanks for the video. I do like traefik for the simple fact it's a bit more noob friendly when using with kubernetes

[@AntonPutra]

yaml friendly =)

[@Taurdil]

When you say "HTTP/1" here do you really mean 1.0 without keepalive or 1.1 with keepalive? And from the client perspective, do we actually close socket each time?

[@AntonPutra]

They both support keepalive, not sure about the latter

[@---tr9qg]

It was .... deep and pro 🔥🔥🔥

[@AntonPutra]

Thanks! Appreciate it!

[@LampJustin]

Does anyone know how an envoy based reverse proxy compares? I think of something like contour

[@mikolajsemeniuk8574]

🚀🔥❤

[@AntonPutra]

😊

[@nootajay]

How is traefik different from envoyproxy? I know it's a fork of envoy but is it designed for edge proxy?

[@AntonPutra]

Can you send a link?

[@JRRRRRRRRRRR]

Great video, thank you :) Could I consider the NGINX performance the same as the NGINX Proxy Manager (NPM)?

[@AntonPutra]

Based on the description of the project, yes, they don't 'enhance' code functionality, mainly TLS.

[@xentricator]

Isn't using burstable vms a bad idea to do these kind of tests? You don't really have any control over when the VM bursts or not.

[@AntonPutra]

I ran this test at least 4 times (creating and deleting vms), each time result was the same.

[@xentricator]

@@AntonPutra I think this is maybe due to the k6 load test being pretty simple (x amount of users for y time without any fluctation or ramp up and downs which could result in more bursty workloads instead of pegging the cpu in a pretty constant way). You should watch out in future videos when trying to create more advanced scenarios in combination with burstable vms. To be clear, I am not trying to undermine your testing methodology, I really like your videos.

[@AntonPutra]

@@xentricator Thanks, I'll keep it in mind

[@Davidlavieri]

Certainly, even with "unlimited" cpu credits (t3 default) it still throttles the CPU, should be ran in compute instances to see the difference and if it does affect the result

[@sunilkumar-xp7jz]

Traefik API GW Installation guide, websocket support required 💐

[@AntonPutra]

ok

[@stephen.cabreros]

what benchmarking platform do you use?

[@AntonPutra]

In that specific case, I used AWS and t3a.small instances. I ran tests multiple times (creating new EC2 instances each time) with the same results. github.com/antonputra/tutorials/blob/main/lessons/144/terraform/10-traefik-ec2.tf#L3 github.com/antonputra/tutorials/blob/main/lessons/144/terraform/11-nginx-ec2.tf#L3

[@stephen.cabreros]

@@AntonPutra thanks bro, that monitoring with traffic and latency graph is it part of aws service or another platform too?

[@AntonPutra]

@@stephen.cabreros It's open source prometheus and grafana, i have all components and dashboards in my repo just in case you want to reproduce

[@stephen.cabreros]

@@AntonPutra ok I'll check it, thank you for this

[@yuryzhuravlev2312]

nginx drop requests because can process more, but OS didn't give enough resources - you should change the limits.

[@AntonPutra]

you mean file descriptors? to much customization, prefer to use defaults for tests..

[@incseven]

@@AntonPutra default value of worker_connections is smth about 768 (multiple by number of CPU for default value "worker_processes auto")

Not at all. It's great for beginners and easy to find implementation for anything you're trying to solve.

​@@AntonPutra great for beginners!? Nginx is c/c++ golang isn't competing with a behemoth like that! Otherwise golang is killer.
