## Benchmark Latency and Throughput of Stitcher
### Benchmark Latency
0. Have Python installed and the deps : pandas and matplotlib
1. Go to `cd latency`
2. Run this in the terminal 
```
./request.sh -o <output_location> -u "<backend_url>" -i <iteration> --no-output
```
- `-o` specifies the output folder
- `-u` backend url e.g: `http://stitchaton.local`
- `-i` (optional) specifies the range of the iteration e.g: 1-11 or just 3
- `--no-output` dumb the output to /dev/null


### Benchmark Throughput
0. Have JMetter installed, [download here](https://jmeter.apache.org/download_jmeter.cgi)
1. Go to `cd throughput`
2. Run this in the terminal
```
./request.sh -o <output_location> -H "<backend_ip>" -t <num_of_threads> -l <num_of_loops> -p <optional_port_default5000>
```
- `-o` specifies the output folder
- `-H` backend api without http or port e.g: 10.250.123.123 or stitchapi.local
- `-t` number of concurrent requests or threads
- `-l` number of loops of each concurrent requests e.g: 10 threads and 20 loops will result in 200 requests in total
- `-p` port number in which the application is served
