Benchmarketing

A playground for exploring and comparing performance benchmarks across different technologies and implementations.

Getting Started

# Add installation steps here
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/benchmarketing.git
cd benchmarketing

Usage

Starting the Services

# Start all services in detached mode
docker compose -f compose-example.yaml up -d

# To view logs
docker compose -f compose-example.yaml logs -f

# To stop all services
docker compose -f compose-example.yaml down

Accessing Monitoring Tools

1. Grafana Dashboard

   • URL: http://localhost:3000
   • Credentials: admin/grafana
   • Default dashboards are available under the "Dashboards" menu

2. Prometheus

   • URL: http://localhost:9090
   • Used for metrics collection

Running Benchmarks

"redbench" instances will automatically start running benchmarks against Redis and Valkey services.

Troubleshooting

# Check service status
docker compose -f compose-example.yaml ps

# Restart specific service
docker compose -f compose-example.yaml restart [service-name]

# View service logs
docker compose -f compose-example.yaml logs [service-name]

Redis TLS Configuration

RedBench supports secure Redis connections using TLS. Configure TLS using environment variables or URLs.

Basic Setup

# Using Redis URL
export REDIS_URL="rediss://redis.example.com:6380"
export REDIS_TLS_CA_FILE="/path/to/ca.pem"

# Redis cluster
export REDIS_CLUSTER_URL="rediss://cluster.example.com:6380"
export REDIS_TLS_CA_FILE="/path/to/ca.pem"

Key Environment Variables

Variable	Description	Example
REDIS_URL	Redis URL (rediss:// for TLS)	rediss://redis.example.com:6380
REDIS_CLUSTER_URL	Redis cluster URL	rediss://cluster.example.com:6380
REDIS_TLS_CA_FILE	Path to CA certificate	/certs/ca.pem
REDIS_TLS_CERT_FILE	Client certificate (mTLS)	/certs/client.pem
REDIS_TLS_KEY_FILE	Client private key (mTLS)	/certs/client-key.pem
REDIS_TLS_INSECURE_SKIP_VERIFY	Skip verification (testing)	true

Testing with Docker

# Generate test certificates
./scripts/generate-tls-certs.sh

# Test TLS connection (insecure for testing)
export REDIS_URL="rediss://localhost:6380"
export REDIS_TLS_INSECURE_SKIP_VERIFY="true"
go run redbench/cmd/redbench/main.go
