QGIS Server Performance Report

2018-12-05 01:54:45

The aim of this report is to compare QGIS Server performances according to several versions (2.14, 2.18, 3.2, 3.4 and master branch). Moreover, some configurations are tested too like parallel rendering, trust option, PAL candidates, ... This way, we're able to keep an eye on regressions and improvements!

For now, only GetCapabilities and GetMap requests are tested. Regarding the underlying data, a Postgis database is used (with several kinds of geometries, as described in each tests) as well as GeoTIFF images.

This report is automatically generated thanks to QGIS-Server-Perfsuite and Graffiti.

GetCapabilities: Default configuration

Description

The aim of this test is to measure the response time of the server for the GetCapabilities request with the default configuration.

GetCapabilities: Postgres view and trust option

Description

The aim of this test is to measure the response time of the server for the GetCapabilities request with Postgres view and the trust option.

When the trust option is activated, the response time of the very first request should be much more lower.

GetMap: Vector and raster

Description

The aim of this test is to measure the response time of the server for the GetMap request with vector and raster layers. The extent is based on the least extended layer.
