Serving static files: a comparison between Apache, Nginx, Varnish and G-WAN
- jbyers 15y agoThe comments on this post are worth reading. It's impossible to construct a meaningful synthetic benchmark without more rigor about what client is being used, how it's configured, how the OS is tuned, testing against actual files (rather than a "Hello World" 100 byte file), details on default tuning for each webserver, and finally what exactly is intended to be tested and what is in fact being tested. A great post on the subject from mnot: http://www.mnot.net/blog/2011/05/18/http_benchmark_rules http://www.mnot.net/blog/2011/05/18/http_benchmark_rules

- jjm 15y agoRegarding Apache Traffic Server, here are some benchmarks: http://www.ogre.com/node/391 http://www.ogre.com/node/391
- owenmarshall 15y agoBenchmarks that don't include standard deviations are worse than bad. They are dangerous.
- dochtman 15y agoNewer benchmark from the same author: http://nbonvin.wordpress.com/2011/03/24/serving-small-static-files-which-server-to-use/ http://nbonvin.wordpress.com/2011/03/24/serving-small-static... This GWAN thing looks rather interesting. A bunch more benchmarks can be found on http://gwan.com/ http://gwan.com/.
- justincormack 15y agoThe G-Wan thing looks like it is created by a pretty odd person. And not open source.
