Docker base image
gmouchakis opened this issue · comments
Semagrow docker uses tomcat:8.5-jre8-alpine
as its base image. Alpine uses musl
and we should test its performance in comparison with glibc
based images such as tomcat/8.5-jre8-slim
which is bigger (alpine 106MB, slim 223MB) but maybe outperforms Alpine. Performance is more important for semagrow than disk space used especially if the difference is in MBs.
Great idea! We could also stress-test both Docker images using semagrow/kobe
I compared both images using the fedbench queries and I got similar query execution times.
