#nostr-rs-bench

This is a nostr relay benchmark suite, written in Rust. It currently is designed to help benchmark the nostr-rs-relay implementation, but could be used for others.

Each benchmark is documented below.

#Random Event EOSE Concurrency

Benchmark random_event_eose_concurrent is designed to test REQ concurrency against a very simple query that returns no results. Since no results are returned, we are not benchmarking network bandwidth, just the ability to successfully run and return an EOSE response.

A number of clients are created that each issue a REQ for a single random event ID. Once an EOSE response is received, it is timestamped as a successful result, and recorded. The REQ is then replaced with another REQ for a different random event ID. A NOTICE is treated as an error.

The test is parameterized by the number of concurrent clients, and how many requests are sent.

The test results contain the client number, result type, and duration in milliseconds, example output for random_event_eose_concurrent(clients=3,requests=5):

client id, result type, duration_ms
2,EOSE,1.935
1,EOSE,4.837
1,EOSE,32.394
2,EOSE,13.264
3,NOTICE,342.823

A summary statistic of the entire test duration in seconds, and the number of success/failures is also provided:

test_duration_s, success_count, failure_count
0.345,4,1
