Performance testing is a key part of delivering a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). As part of the Hyrax Fedora 6 Working Group’s scope, we want to include performance benchmarking for key resource-intensive activities performed by Hyrax users. To reflect the current state of Hyrax adoption, the following combinations will be tested with representative performance tasks.
Hyrax, ActiveFedora, and Fedora 4
Hyrax, Valkyrie, and Fedora 6
Hyrax, Valkyrie and Postgres
Representative Performance-Intensive Tasks
The following activities have caused known performance issues in Hyrax with ActiveFedora and Fedora 4.x. These issues are compounded when executed in a repository with a significant amount of content already ingested, but given the challenges of generating a representative content sample in a test environment, and trying to approximate a baseline operating environment, these test cases are suggested as minimum thresholds only. Fedora 6 test cases will also assume a basic Hyrax installation using a default Hyrax work type/model on a Nurax environment.
