- 11. The Story of a GoLive Redesign of a relative high volume Business News site. Upgrade CF 7.01 to CF 9.01
- 12. Upgrade from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008
- 13. Migrate front end code base 2003 to 2011
- 14. Integrate stand alone code 2005 & 2007
- 15. All into one Framework: Fusebox 5.5
- 16. First attempt of GoLive May 7 8:45am Rollback to old server May 7 noon.
- 17. What Happened? What could have been the cause? Database server?
- 18. Coldfusion Code?
- 19. SQL Queries?
- 20. File operations?
- 23. 3rd Party CFX Tags
- 24. Java Engine? We need better tools.
- 25. What do I mean when I talk about load testing? Create Site traffic on your site, and analyze behavior to find Bottle necks
- 26. So how are your users using site?
- 27. 1) Many page requests at the same time
- 28. 2) Which Pages are hit the most?
- 29. What is a normal amount of requests per second? Google analytics: Page Requests per hour Peak: 51,856 per hour = 14 request/second
- 30. Which pages? This is a news site. - Homepage - Article pages - Media pages - Archives What is the ratio? Example: Variations of Homepage: 42 %
- 31. Using JMeter After installation
- 32. Create a Test Plan
- 33. Add components
- 34. Run it
- 35. Look Reports
- 36. Using JMeter Summary Report Throughput: 47.5 Request per second Per hour: 171,000
- 38. Original Question How many users can we serve before we need more power and muscle on our server environment? Good question!
- 39. Tool: FusionReactor There are other tools: Seefusion
- 42. Average JDBC Execution time
- 43. CPU Usage 80 requests per second trigger 80 to 100% CPU usage ~ Max load ~ 3,456,000 Pages per 10 hrs Period
- 44. How many visitors? - For this particular site - for this particular JMeter Test Plan - 80 requests per second - 80 to 100% CPU usage - approx: 3,456,000 Pages per 12 hrs Period Average of 2.7 page view per visitor Serve up to 1,280 Mio Vistors per day. (12 hrs Period)
