Unfortunately, [the implementation](https://github.com/TomBZombie/php-dependency-injection-benchmarks) of the tests turned out to be quite controversial, so the benchmark itself wasn't really insightful. I have been interested in the topic since then so I wanted to conduct another benchmark that also tries to measure real-life performance, while being as unbiased and reliable as possible. Results ------- [](#results) You can find the benchmark results [here](https://kocsismate.github.io/php-di-container-benchmarks/benchmark.html). Install ------- [](#install) You can simply download or clone this repository as well as install it via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) by running the command below: ``` $ composer require kocsismate/di-container-benchmarks:dev-master ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Usage with Docker [](#usage-with-docker) As a prerequisite, [Docker Compose](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-compose) and at least Docker 17.06 CE has to be installed on your machine in order to use this benchmark method. Copy the `.env.dist` file to `.env` and feel free to override the values in it. Now, you can run ``` ./benchmark.sh docker ``` to execute the measurements. The HTML output will be generated in the "docs" directory. ### Usage on AWS EC2 [](#usage-on-aws-ec2) As a prerequisite, [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io) and `git` has to be installed on your machine in order to use this benchmark method. First, create the necessary config file by copying the `aws.tfvars.dist` to `aws.tfvars` in the `build/infrastructure/config/aws.tfvars.dist` directory: ``` cp build/infrastructure/config/aws.tfvars.dist build/infrastructure/config/aws.tfvars ``` Then, override the values in it: - `access_key`: the access key of your AWS account - `secret_key`: the secret access key of your AWS account - `ssh_key_name`: the name of your key pair added to EC2 - `ssh_private_key`: the file name of your private key - `region`: it is "eu-central-1" by default, but you should choose the closest one to your area - `image_name`: the name of the EC2 image - `image_architecture`: the CPU architecture of the EC2 image (e.g. x86\_64 or arm64) - `instance_type`: it is "C5.large" by default (this instance type is out of the scope of the free tier!) Finally, you have to copy your private key in the "build/infrastructure/config" directory with a file name that matches the one defined in the `ssh_private_key` setting. Now, you are ready to go: ``` ./benchmark.sh aws ``` The HTML output will be generated in the "docs" directory. ### Usage on your host machine [](#usage-on-your-host-machine) If the above possibilities aren't available to you then you have to take several steps before running the benchmark: - Install a web server and configure it to be able to serve "public/index.php" - Install PHP 8.0 at least with OPcache and preloading enabled - Install Composer - Set the `BENCHMARK_URL` environment variable to the URL where "public/index.php" is available. For instance: ``` export BENCHMARK_URL=http://localhost/index.php ``` Now you can simply type the following in order to run the benchmark: ``` .\benchmark.sh host ``` If you don't want to specify the benchmark URL as an environment variable then you can also pass it as an argument: ``` ./benchmark.sh host http://localhost/index.php ``` ### Usage from the browser [](#usage-from-the-browser) You can even run tests manually from your browser. When the benchmark's Docker containers are running, just visit `localhost:8090`, otherwise you have to locate the `BENCHMARK_URL` URL (mentioned in the previous section). For further information, refer to the URL in question, it provides you with detailed instructions. Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Please see [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md) for details.
