Resin outperforms NginX

• Resin

• Reputa+on as fast, lightweight and powerful Java applica+on server

•NginX

• Known to be faster and more reliable under load than Apache HTTPD

• Benchmark tests between Resin and NginX

• Both yielded compe++ve figures

• Resin leads tes+ng with:

• Fewer errors

• Faster response Cme




























































Benchmark Tools

• Industry standard tool and methodology• H=perf

• h=perf is tool produced by HP for measuring web server performance. The h=perf tool supports HTTP/1.1 keepalives and SSL protocols.

• AutoBench

• a tool for automaCng a comparaCve benchmark test against two a web servers.

• Runs h=perf against each host.

• Increases the number of requests per seconds on each iteraCon.

• Delivers output in a format that can be easily consumed by spreadsheet tools.

• The command autobenchd is used to run a daemon on client machines.

• The autobench_admin command drives many clients to run test at same Cme by communicaCng with autobenchd.

Test Setup Overview

•Configura8on

• The only change that was made was the worker_processes were set to 8 for NginX to improve throughput.
