Benchmarking GRPC Go Service

[uguessmyid]

Hi @husobee ,

I have developed a GRPC Go Service, and i want to perform benchmarking for that.

Can you guide me on how to do benchmarking?

Hello @uguessmyid

Within this repository there is an example of using go test -bench to benchmark a grpc service: https://github.com/husobee/grpc_v_rest/blob/master/main_grpc_test.go

You can see we are merely setting up a grpc client, and then within this block we are performing as many calls to the service as possible:

// run grpc calls against it
for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
	client.SetInfo(context.Background(), &InfoRequest{
		Name:   "test",
		Age:    1,
		Height: 1,
	})
}

Then from the command line all you need to do is run go test -bench <name of your test> and you will have a benchmark test run against your service. Hope this is helpful.
