Engula Bench - Baseline Performance Comparison Report#

Document Version: v2.1 Last Updated: 2025-09-19 Maintained by: Engula Team

Design Goals and Comparison Methodology#

Goals#

Compare the Get/Set throughput and latency performance of Engula 2.1 versus Redis 7.2 across different value sizes and CPU core configurations.

Metrics#

• QPS (Throughput): Queries per second
• P50 (Average Latency): Median response time

Comparison Methodology#

• Single-instance comparison with persistence disabled, focusing on in-memory path and protocol processing performance
• I/O thread dimension: io-threads ∈ {1, 2, 4}
• Fixed data scale, request distribution, and concurrency model for reproducible results
• Multiple value size coverage: 8B, 32B, 128B, 512B, 1KB, 2KB

Test Environment#

Hardware and System#

• Instances: Alibaba Cloud ECS
  • ecs.c9i.xlarge / ecs.c7a.4xlarge / ecs.g8y.2xlarge
• CPU: 8 vCPU ~ 16 vCPU
• Memory: 32GB
• Operating System: CentOS 7.9

Engula Bench#

This test uses the Engula Bench tool. For detailed information about the tool, please refer to the documentation: Engula Bench - Baseline Performance Comparison Tool.

Test Results#

Test Environment: ecs.c9i.2xlarge#
