When I am increasing concurrency -c
in ab (apache bench) then I am getting different response time.
-c 99%
3 2ms
5 4ms
8 6ms
If I increase -c
further then response time will increase as well.My code is extremely simple, No thread starvation, no blocking, etc. Then why the response time is getting increased?
I think that ab -c 8
means 8 simultaneous request would be made to http://localhost:8070/benchmark
. So is it possible that requests are getting pooled at tomcat? If it is so then how can I make tomcat handle more concurrent users with less response time (4ms at 99%)?
@RestController
public class PerformanceController {
@RequestMapping(value="/benchmark",method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String getRetargetingData(){
return "Just plain call";
}
}
