In myprevious post, I discussed Load Balancer Engine Architecture and its features. In this post, I’ll be discussing on performance bench-marks. Kindly note that the underlying carbon-gateway-framework is under development. And hence more features will be developed and improvisations will be done to this LB. Performance Benchmarks In this performance test, five…

This year, the community bonding period was from April 22nd — May 22nd.. Though I was communicating with my mentor and community members frequently even before GSoC project results were announced (Yeah!!, I was pretty confident), this period was very very helpful and useful.

Kindly note that the underlying carbon-gateway-framework is under development. And hence more features will be developed and improvisations will be done to this LB. Performance Benchmarks In this performance test, five instances of simple service created using Netty framework were used. Each instance is a fast backend (0s delay) with response of size 1KB.

Google Summer of Code is a global program focused on bringing more student developers into open source software development. More importantly Open source organizations find it prestigious for being selected by Google to be a part of this program. Yes !! Google selects organizations based on certain criteria. Not all open source organizations are selected. And organizations also find it as the best place to attract young and good talent.

So, all GSoCers were eagerly waiting for Mid-Term Evaluation results (27 June 19:00 UTC). Google gives one week (June 20–27) for students and mentors to submit their evaluations. Students who clear evaluations will be rewarded and they can continue to code for next six weeks till the final evaluations!! Most of us cleared mid-term evaluation with flying colors and members activity in our FB group spiked as expected. We were posting our mentor’s feedback. It was fun and exciting to read others feedback too :D
