Available in VPC

This section shows the resource allocation by Blockchain Service node and the test results of performance figure changes depending on node configuration.

Note

This test measured the performance based on Hyperledger Fabric built in NAVER Cloud Platform environment. The measurement result may vary depending on various factors, such as the test machine's hardware performance and Smart Contract's complexity. Therefore, use the figure only for reference.

To view the test result by the Hyperledger Fabric foundation, see here.

Performance test report

1. Performance comparison depending on the resource size of orderer/peer

  • Case 1-1
    • Orderer: 1 unit, 0.35 vCPU, 700 MB MEM
    • Peer: 2 units (levelDB), 1.1 vCPU, 2.8 GB MEM
Name Success Fail Send Rate (TPS) Max Latency (s) Min Latency (s) Avg Latency (s) Throughput (TPS)
Read Transaction 103543 0 1725.6 0.06 0.00 0.01 1725.4
Write Transaction 18023 0 300.4 23.23 0.05 12.74 245.6
  • Case 1-2
    • Orderer: 1 unit, 1.75 vCPU, 1.4 GB MEM
    • Peer: 2 units (levelDB), 1.1 vCPU, 2.8 GB MEM
Name Success Fail Send Rate (TPS) Max Latency (s) Min Latency (s) Avg Latency (s) Throughput (TPS)
Read Transaction 104489 0 1741.4 0.05 0.00 0.01 1741.3
Write Transaction 26699 0 445.0 2.06 0.04 0.09 430.3

Like the result of case 1-2, it is confirmed that the writing performance increases by approximately 57% depending on the orderer's CPU/memory resource size, compared to case 1-1.

2. Performance comparison depending on the resource size in using Peer CouchDB

  • Case 2-1
    • Orderer: 1 unit, 0.35 vCPU, 700 MB MEM
    • Peer: 2 units (1.1 vCPU, 2.8 GB MEM), CouchDB 2 units (1 vCPU, 2 GB MEM)
Name Success Fail Send Rate (TPS) Max Latency (s) Min Latency (s) Avg Latency (s) Throughput (TPS)
Read Transaction 94280 0 1571.2 4.74 0.00 0.60 1571.0
Write Transaction 15563 0 259.3 40.67 0.08 21.72 154.7
  • Case 2-2
    • Orderer: 1 unit, 1.75 vCPU, 1.4 GB MEM
    • Peer: 2 units (1.1 vCPU, 2.8 GB MEM), CouchDB 2 units (2 vCPU, 2 GB MEM)
Name Success Fail Send Rate (TPS) Max Latency (s) Min Latency (s) Avg Latency (s) Throughput (TPS)
Read Transaction 98139 861 1649.8 5.66 0.00 1.39 1619.3
Write Transaction 16718 0 278.6 11.28 0.09 7.31 235.9
  • Case 2-3
    • Orderer: 1 unit, 1.75 vCPU, 1.4 GB MEM
    • Peer: 2 units (2.2 vCPU, 2.8 GB MEM), CouchDB 2 units (2 vCPU, 2 GB MEM)
Name Success Fail Send Rate (TPS) Max Latency (s) Min Latency (s) Avg Latency (s) Throughput (TPS)
Read Transaction 101933 0 1698.8 0.05 0.00 0.01 1698.6
Write Transaction 17854 0 297.5 8.01 0.08 4.44 262.6

It is confirmed that the writing/reading performance is enhanced depending on the resource size of the orderer, peer, and CouchDB CPU. The writing performance of LevelDB may be differentiated from that of CouchDB by approximately +60%.

3. Read performance comparison depending on the number of peers

  • Case 3-1
    • Orderer: 1 unit, 0.35 vCPU, 700 MB MEM
    • Peer: 3 units (levelDB), 1.1 vCPU, 2.8 GB MEM
Name Success Fail Send Rate (TPS) Max Latency (s) Min Latency (s) Avg Latency (s) Throughput (TPS)
Read Transaction 124493 0 2074.7 0.28 0.00 0.04 2073.3
Write Transaction 18117 0 301.9 33.50 0.05 17.66 237.0
  • Case 3-2
    • Orderer: 1 unit, 0.35 vCPU, 700 MB MEM
    • Peer: 3 units (1.1 vCPU, 2.8 GB MEM), CouchDB 3 units (1 vCPU, 2 GB MEM)
Name Success Fail Send Rate (TPS) Max Latency (s) Min Latency (s) Avg Latency (s) Throughput (TPS)
Read Transaction 124110 0 2068.4 0.28 0.00 0.04 2067.4
Write Transaction 15102 0 251.7 34.40 0.10 17.89 160.1

It is confirmed that, when the number of peers is increased, the reading performance increases by 17 to 22% compared to case 1-1 and 2-1, respectively.
