Every queue has a consume rate of at best 25 messages per second. How can I increase this?

I am out of ideas. I use SenecaJS with Seneca AMQP Transport plugin with NodeJS Microservices.

I have at best 25 messages per second and can't find why. I used the exemple of the seneca amqp transport plugin to benchmark this. I tested the example on two servers running on Debian, one aws instance running on debian and my macbook pro.

I have a delivery rate around 600 - 700 messages per second on my macbook pro. On debian it's only 25 messages per seconds.

Here two images showing the issue:

What did I missed here? It looks like an issue on the OS level or a default configuration. Can't find anything about this.

EDIT: Issue discussed here: https://github.com/senecajs/seneca-amqp-transport/issues/63

Solution

  • I found out why I have this rate. It's because of the tcp delay on Linux OS (Debian for my case). Setting the noDelay to true when TCP socket is created fixed the issue.
