GS 2017 Setup: Performance

Frantisek Spicak

Hi,

i have simple point for discussion. How did you set your infrastructure? Do you have separate machines for each component? For example, Application Server, RabbitMQ server, DB server or do you host RabbitMQ on same machine as Application server? Also, do you see any difference in performance, does project preparation time differs for instance? How is the performance in comparison with GS2015?

Our server specifications: Vast majority of our servers are VMs and usual specs are App. server 8 Cores and 16GB RAM; SQL server 24 Cores and 65GB RAM. Standard Virtual SCSi disk drives. 

RabbitMQ on separate machine: We tried both variants and did not notice any significant difference, we are not entirely sure why though. Maybe the another network communication could be the bottle neck so the advantage of having separated RabbitMQ and Application server is not visible.

I thought it would be good to discuss those points here with wider audience as i have not found anywhere in official SDL sources any details about it, neither about server specs, the details provided are bit vague in my view.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Regards,

Fana

  • Hi Frantisek,

    When it comes to Project preparation and TM speed, the single biggest factor is SQL Server performance. I.e. we had a system where the creation of a reference project took around 20 minutes, after upgrading the SQL Server hardware including disk IOPS. The project creation time was brought down to 8 minutes, without any software code changes.
    We also strongly recommend the SQL Server to be on a separate machine to ensure not congestion with the application hardware.

    Separating RabbitMQ would not help in this instance, as that's typically not involved in project creation or TM lookups.

    In addition to this, CU08 will bring improvements when it comes to performance.

    Thanks,
    Luis
