Microservices optimizations
Introduction
REGARDS provides several type of configurations in order to optimize its performances:
- the number of parallel processes that can be run by microservice - this global thread pool will be shared by all tenants on every instance of microservice (
regards.jobs.pool.size) - the number of parallel database connections permitted by tenant and by microservice - a connection pool is created for every tenant on every instance of microservice (
regards.jpa.multitenant.maxPoolSize) - the number of entities handled inside a microservice process. Every REGARDS process exposes a property to override the number of entities handled on a bulk
Important
Usually, it is more efficient to configure each service to allow:
- a large number of parallel processes
- a small number of entities to process on every parallel process
But it depends on how many resources you can allocate to REGARDS services.
Implications
When you increase the number of parallel processes:
- you need to increase database connections
- you use more CPU,or vCPU, of your server
When you add more entities to handle by job/thread:
- you increase the amount of memory used on the server
- you increase the duration of the database commit
Default microservice configurations:
| Microservice | Default RAM | Default job pool size (shared) | Default DB pool size (by tenant) |
|---|---|---|---|
| rs-config | 128m | None | None |
| rs-registry | 128m | None | None |
| rs-admin | 512m | None | 5 per tenant of the instance |
| rs-admin-instance | 512m | None | 5 per instance |
| rs-access-project | 512m | None | 5 per tenant of the instance |
| rs-access-instance | 512m | None | 5 per instance |
| rs-dam | 1280m | None | 5 per tenant of the instance |
| rs-ingest | 1536m | 5 | 5 per tenant of the instance |
| rs-fem | 1024m | 5 | 5 per tenant of the instance |
| rs-notifier | 1280m | 5 | 5 per tenant of the instance |
| rs-storage | 1024m | 5 | 5 per tenant of the instance |
| rs-dataprovider | 1024m | 5 | 5 per tenant of the instance |
| rs-catalog | 1024m | 5 | 5 per tenant of the instance |
| rs-order | 1280m | 5 | 5 per tenant of the instance |
| rs-worker-manager | 1024m | 5 | 5 per tenant of the instance |
| rs-processing | 2048m | 50 | 5 per tenant of the instance |
| rs-lta-manager | 512m | 5 | 5 per tenant of the instance |
Many CPU adaptation
If your server(s) has a lot of CPU, or vCPU, we recommend you to increase on each microservice the value of job pool size and DB pool size.
Don't forget to increase these properties together to avoid DB connection starvation during microservice processes.
