This is a demo of how to create a cluster of EC2 instances under a load balancer using AWS Elastic Beanstalk. The cluster is created using a single configuration file, beanstalk.yml, which is a YAML file that describes the cluster configuration. The configuration file is used by the eb command line tool to create the cluster.
The following are the results of the load tests performed on the cluster. The load tests were performed using Locust, a load testing tool written in Python.
It uses one of the smallest EC2 instances, t2.micro, to run the load tests. The load tests were performed with 2000 concurrent users. Each user was making a request in 5-15 seconds interval, to a product page, with data loaded from DynamoDB.
There wasn't any cache used in the application. The application was able to handle the load without any errors.
- Request Per Seconds: 190-200
- Failure Rate: 0%
- Concurrent Users: 2000
With RPS 190-200, the application expected to handle a website with up to 1.6 million visitors per day. (Assuming 10 requests per visitor per day)
