III. PERFORMANCE TESTS

In line with the main objective of the study, load tests will be conducted for each of the implemented improvements. The objectives of these tests is quantify the improvement offered by each of the implemented techniques or approaches and compare the latencies with the initial unoptimized system.

Due to that, the tests have a duration of 30 minutes in which the tested system is exposed to different constant workloads. Each test is repeated a total of 3 times, with the result being the average value of all repetitions. To evaluate cold start performance, functions were invoked manually from the AWS console, and the experienced times were collected. A test is compound of 3 requests, one for each function of the application. The results will be measured and displayed in milliseconds (ms).
