Measure the time to boot a server and make a first connection

time-to-boot-server ~ Measure the time to boot a server and make a first connection

This is a simple tool to measure how long it takes for a server application to boot and succeed in receiving a first network request.

Usage

You can run it as in:

time-to-boot-server --target http://localhost:8080/ --executable python -- -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080

Run with --help to get a list of all arguments.

There are 2 connection modes:

• http-get: succeeds on the first HTTP GET request with a 200 status code, and consumes all the body
• tcp-connect: succeeds on the first established TCP connection, and does not consuje anything.

tcp-connect is the fastest time to connect to the server, but for any framework with lazy initialization some components may only be initialized upon the first request so http-get is more accurate in general.

Building and running

This is a Go program so...

go get github.com/jponge/time-to-boot-server

If you don't know how to build Go code:

mkdir ~/Code/go-workspace
export GOPATH=~/Code/go-workspace
export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$PATH

go get github.com/jponge/time-to-boot-server
