Tinyauth Benchmarks

I benchmarked Tinyauth for fun using k6.

Results

Tinyauth broke at ~91k database records and by broke I mean the point where errors started occurring. While the latency kept going up (due to the 91k records that were created in the SQLite database), Tinyauth kept up with no errors up until the 25-30 minute mark where some errors were logged. So, we can safely conclude that the bottleneck of Tinyauth is the SQLite database (from about 1k records and up the latency starts going noticeably up). Available results from my own testing are available in the releases section.

Benchmarking

To benchmark, you will need k6, bun and docker available in your system. If you have those, you can install the dependencies:

bun install

Start up Tinyauth:

docker compose up --force-recreate --remove-orphans

And run the test:

K6_WEB_DASHBOARD=true K6_WEB_DASHBOARD_EXPORT=results/results.html k6 run --out csv=results/results.csv script.ts

The test will take ~30 minutes and your results will be available in the results directory.

Note

Make sure to remove any existing results before running the test.
