Hi,

I'd like to know if there are any key data about hardware recommendations for a RAP server running a larger RAP application on a Tomcat or WebSphere webserver.

In particular, we have about 2000 users connecting concurrently to the RAP server. Do you have any experience or recommendations about the hardware regarding CPU and RAM for the following setups:


  • 1 RAP server, i.e. all 2000 users connect to this one and only RAP server.
  • 3 RAP server, i.e. 3 nodes in a cluster so that each server handles about 666 users.


I'm looking forward to getting feedback and experiences of other RAP developers.

Cheers,

Ken

Hi Ken,

the CPU load of a RAP Server depends heavily on the application so there
are hardly any general recommendations, except: test it! The factors
that influence the performance most are:

* number of widgets: CPU load depends on the total number of widgets in
your UI, not only visible ones (this might change in one of the next RAP
releases)

* request frequency: lots of modify listeners, drag&drop, etc. lead to
much more requests than rather static UIs

* layouts: mote dynamic layouts require much more calculation than more
static ones (e.g. text size determination)

* the operation mode: JEE performs better than SWT compatibility mode

In our recent load tests, 1000 sessions performed well on a single
server under heavy load. Depending on your application, a powerful
server may or may not handle 2000 parallel user sessions.

You should definitely perform your own performance tests with your
actual application to answer this question. Using cloud hardware you can
easily test with different server configurations.

Regards,
Ralf

Hi Ralf,

Thank you very much for your inputs. We will definitely have to perform some load tests for our application to gain more information about the required hardware.

Cheers,

Ken
