Kubernetes has become the de-facto standard for managing containerized applications, with many enterprises adopting it in their production environments. In this blog, we describe the kind of performance you can achieve with the NGINX Ingress Controller for Kubernetes, detailing the results of our performance testing of three metrics: requests per second, SSL/TLS transactions per second, and throughput. We also include the full NGINX and Kubernetes configurations we used.
You can use our performance numbers and configuration to help you determine the right topology, specs, and Kubernetes configuration for delivering your own apps at the level of performance and scale you require.
