1006698 - Create a Loop Server Stage environment for load testing

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Hello (Loop) :: Server, defect)

Description

[James Bonacci [:jbonacci]]

Because it's no fun running load tests on my localhost.
Stage environment will be used for remote/functional testing, load testing, sizing/scaling for Production, similar to other Services projects.

What do we need to do to move this forward ?

:benson is putting the finishing touches on the Puppet module now.  I believe we will be able to deploy a stack soon.

Done. https://loop.stage.mozaws.net 

I spun it up w/ 3x m3.medium since these are single processor machines. It is backed by a single m1.small redis instance. Nothing special. 

The code that is running is loop-server@dc9b8d2ce728a011bf9aa02ed2ded41f4bb98e7c. I pushed a bug fix into the loop-server repo a little while ago. 

Not sure if loop is CPU intensive (does crypto/number crunching). If it does we should look into how to better use multi-core machines better.

Verified the AWS setup in US East. Will leave this ticket open until I can get some test to work against Stage (remote/load)...

[Alexis Metaireau (:alexis)]

It shouldn't be CPU intensive: the only operation it does is cyphering/signing with aes-128-cbc and sha256 hashes (which shouldn't be CPU intensive).

Anyway, load testing will tell us that.

Verified.
