Cover Image for docker-sync performance test

docker-sync performance test

I use Docker for all of my Magento2 (and most other things) development. I've created a repository that I maintain on GitHub with the configurations that I use.

Recently a colleague of mine showed me docker-sync and I wanted to try it out see if it could improve the performance of my local development.

Results

Test AVG Load Time (s)
No Cache 87.6
Redis Cache 42.37
docker-sync - Current - No Cache 36.93
docker-sync - Current - Redis Cache 33.14
docker-sync - App - Redis Cache 33.52

Performance test results graph

As you can see the way that the environment is setup can make a big difference.
