Simple benchmark to test islands on edge against SSR on edge and SSR on an individual server

island-benchmark

This repository contains a simple benchmark of islands architecture against SSR on edge and SSR on an individual server.

Edge server

0. nvm use to use the right version of Node
1. npm install to install dependencies
2. npm run start:cf to run the edge test server

After that you should be able to access localhost:3000 and paths (/islands and /ssr) behind it.

Note that the edge server is automatically deployed to https://island-benchmark.pages.dev/ and you can access the same endpoints there.

Individual server

Make sure you have a recent version of Deno installed and then run npm run start:deno. The server uses port 8080 by default and to customize, set PORT (i.e., PORT=1234 npm run start:ssr).

There is also a Node version available at npm start.

The individual server version is automatically deployed to https://island-benchmark.cyclic.app/.

TypeScript

TypeScript is used for the edge code (CloudFlare workers) and the setup has been derived from wrangler init.

Playwright + Lighthouse

To generate Lighthouse results, run the following:

npm run playwright

You can see the summaries in the output (FCP in ms) as a CSV to copy to main.tex.

Autocannon tests

Autocannon (req/s) tests are behind npm run autocannon. namespace. It emits a CSV that you should copy to LaTeX.
