Re: Django performance on Amazon EC2

Hello,

 we currently have a website running on django EC2, and its running great, really great. We managed to handle 300 requests/s on our stress tests on a heavy page... but, we only managed to get that after we used the django's cache systems, before that we were running close to 10 requests/s and the server repeatedly stopped responding.
 In fact we were also getting these requests ( normaly 10 requests/s ) on our development environment under stress, so Im confortable to say that thats not an amazon EC2 issue, and that it could be directly related to django. What requests/second do you guys get on normal django setup?

 Anyway, using the proper cache systems ( we are using memcached backend) we are ok with the throughput we have right now.
 For more information on django's cache system please refer to the django documentation, it is very extensive.

cheers,
Victor Lima

Hi,

I'm using Django on Amazon EC2 and seeing what I think are very low throughputs ( < 15requests/s) for relatively simple pages.

Before I start digging into the root causes of this, I wondered if anyone else was running Django on AWS and what sort of performance figures you were seeing.

More details on my setup:

Ubuntu Hardy
Apache 2
Django 1.1

EC2 m1.small instance, talking to another m1.small instance hosting MySQL db

DB performance doesn't seem to be the issue - I don't see the DB server under any load at all.

Cheers,

Malcolm
