Stress testing AMF
Aaron has a series of posts on developing a system for stress testing AMF.
The setup: AMF Stress Testing – Flex, Ruby, JMeter.
The screen cast: Stress Testing AMF Gateway Screen Capture
The results: 37 Million (requests in), 9 hours.
That’s pretty amazing.
The next morning, we had the Live Search team from M$ asking us how the hell we did that. Pretty friggin cool. Also note that JMeter bursts requests, it’s not constantly sending requests. So we probably could have done 90 million in 9 hours no problem. Crazy.
Another successful AMF project. Go AMF!
I’ve been using a lot of XML Services recently, not necessarily by choice, as it was all consulting work and it wasn’t really my place to dive in and say “you should be using AMF!”. Even then if my clients asked me “why AMF?” the answer would of been because it’s easier for me when I should be telling them how AMF can be easier, better, faster for them too (and their servers). Hopefully tests like this will help spread the adoption of AMF, they definitely help the cause more than me whining about parsing XML 
And because I don’t think he sleeps Aaron also released a new version of Super Simple Remoting.
