编写Go程序对Nginx服务器进行性能测试的方法
目前有很多提供Go语言HTTP应用服务的方法，但其中最好的选择取决于每个应用的实际情况。目前，Nginx看起来是每个新项目的标准Web服务器，即使在有其他许多不错Web服务器的情况下。然而，在Nginx上提供Go应用服务的开销是多少呢？我们需要一些nginx的特性参数（vhosts，负载均衡，缓存，等等）或者直接使用Go提供服务？如果你需要nginx，最快的连接机制是什么？这就是在这我试图回答的问题。该基准测试的目的不是要验证Go比nginx的快或慢。那将会很愚蠢。
下面是我们要比较不同的设置：
- Go HTTP standalone (as the control group)
- Nginx proxy to Go HTTP
- Nginx fastcgi to Go TCP FastCGI
- Nginx fastcgi to Go Unix Socket FastCGI
硬件
因为我们将在相同的硬件下比较所有设置，硬件选择的是廉价的一个。这不应该是一个大问题。
- Samsung 笔记本 NP550P5C-AD1BR
- Intel Core i7 3630QM @2.4GHz (quad core, 8 threads)
- CPU caches: (L1: 256KiB, L2: 1MiB, L3: 6MiB)
- RAM 8GiB DDR3 1600MHz
软件
- Ubuntu 13.10 amd64 Saucy Salamander (updated)
- Nginx 1.4.4 (1.4.4-1~saucy0 amd64)
- Go 1.2 (linux/amd64)
- wrk 3.0.4
设置
内核
只需很小的一点调整，将内核的limits调高。如果你对这一变量有更好的想法，请在写在下面评论处：
复制代码 代码如下:fs.file-max 9999999
fs.nr_open 9999999
net.core.netdev_max_backlog 4096
net.core.rmem_max 16777216
net.core.somaxconn 65535
net.core.wmem_max 16777216
net.ipv4.ip_forward 0
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range 1025 65535
net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout 30
net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time 30
net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog 20480
net.ipv4.tcp_max_tw_buckets 400000
net.ipv4.tcp_no_metrics_save 1
net.ipv4.tcp_syn_retries 2
net.ipv4.tcp_synack_retries 2
net.ipv4.tcp_tw_recycle 1
net.ipv4.tcp_tw_reuse 1
vm.min_free_kbytes 65536
vm.overcommit_memory 1
Limits
供root和www-data打开的最大文件数限制被配置为200000。
Nginx
有几个必需得Nginx调整。有人跟我说过，我禁用了gzip以保证比较公平。下面是它的配置文件/etc/nginx/nginx.conf：
复制代码 代码如下:
user www-data;
worker_processes auto;
worker_rlimit_nofile 200000;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 10000;
use epoll;
multi_accept on;
}
http {
sendfile on;
tcp_nopush on;
tcp_nodelay on;
keepalive_timeout 300;
keepalive_requests 10000;
types_hash_max_size 2048;
open_file_cache max=200000 inactive=300s;
open_file_cache_valid 300s;
open_file_cache_min_uses 2;
open_file_cache_errors on;
server_tokens off;
dav_methods off;
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;

}

}

}
}

keepalive 300;
}
server {

server_name go.fcgi.tcp;
access_log off;
error_log /dev/null crit;
location / {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_keep_conn on;
fastcgi_pass go_fcgi_tcp;
}
}
upstream go_fcgi_unix {

}

}
Go源码
复制代码 代码如下:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"net"
"net/http"
"net/http/fcgi"
"os"
"os/signal"
"syscall"
)
var (
abort bool
)
const (
SOCK = "/tmp/go.sock"
)
type Server struct {
}
func (s Server) ServeHTTP(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
body := "Hello World\n"
// Try to keep the same amount of headers
w.Header().Set("Server", "gophr")
w.Header().Set("Connection", "keep-alive")
w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "text/plain")
w.Header().Set("Content-Length", fmt.Sprint(len(body)))
fmt.Fprint(w, body)
}
func main() {
sigchan := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
signal.Notify(sigchan, os.Interrupt)
signal.Notify(sigchan, syscall.SIGTERM)
server := Server{}
go func() {
http.Handle("/", server)
if err := http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}()
go func() {
tcp, err := net.Listen("tcp", ":9001")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fcgi.Serve(tcp, server)
}()
go func() {
unix, err := net.Listen("unix", SOCK)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fcgi.Serve(unix, server)
}()
<-sigchan
if err := os.Remove(SOCK); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}
检查HTTP header
为公平起见，所有的请求必需大小相同。

结论
第一组基准测试时一些Nginx的设置还没有很好的优化（启用gzip，Go的后端没有使用keep-alive连接）。当改为wrk以及按建议优化Nginx后结果有较大差异。
当GOMAXPROCS=1时，Nginx的开销不是那么大，但当OMAXPROCS=8时差异就很大了。以后可能会再试一下其他设置。如果你需要使用Nginx像虚拟主机，负载均衡，缓存等特性，使用HTTP proxy，别使用FastCGI。有些人说Go的FastCGI还没有被很好优化，这也许就是测试结果中巨大差异的原因。
