django-graphql-benchmarks

Fork of jkimbo/django-graphql-benchmarks. The original project proved useful for discussions about graphene's performance (e.g. in graphql-python/graphene#268). To provide an up-to-date insight into the matter I revived the project.

differences to jkimbo/django-graphql-benchmarks

The Django app is no longer bound to be deployed on Heroku, but is built as a Docker container. This allows for deployment anywhere (including the very cost-efficient "localhost"). main runs on up-to-date dependencies, Python 3.10 and graphene v3. main_graphenev2_only is (or should) always the same as main, but only exposes a GraphQL endpoint provided by graphene v2.

setup + running

Prerequisites for running the benchmarks:

1. A local version of the main and main_graphenev2_only branches
2. Docker and Python 3.8+
3. poetry
4. mkdir -p results

You can use the run.sh script to deploy and bench the containers locally, or use it as a blueprint for other deployments.
run.sh requires a list of target Python versions as positional arguments, e.g. run.sh 3.9 3.10
