Limit of Redmine in terms of database size

Added by gabriel scolan over 16 years ago

Hi all,

Has anyone already experimented the behavior of Redmine while the Database becomes really large (more than 10GBytes for example) ? I just wandering since the Redmine seems to become popular in the company and I don't want to see it collapse in a few months just because too many people like it !

thanks
gabriel

Every big fetching is paginate, so it shouldn't be a problem. But the better should be to run it through a LoadRunner, but I haven't such a costly license :)

Jmeter is also pretty effective at load testing and it's free. There's also apache bench which is useful for simple tests. You'd have to generate a bunch of bonus data too if you really wanted to stress the queries. I'd guess the random_data gem would be helpful there.

Gabriel, I don't get the feeling there's been a lot of stress testing on redmine just yet. But if you were willing to start such an effort, I'm sure the community would support you.

Guys, I just though about same question :) And was amazed that it is already asked.
I'd like to help on this.
I think first we should right down possible stress test list.
Also we should check with Redmine delevelopers to suggest possible bottlenecks in project code to check.

I see this tests like:
1) check Redmine interface response time with avarage records number - manually and with stress testing tool
2) generate a lot of records to DB (they can be generated dynamically by ruby code) for all possible objects
3) check Redmine interface response times/failures then - manually and with stress testing tool
