OctoPerf On Premise Infra¶

Architecture

OctoPerf On Premise Infra is a standalone application running as a few Docker containers. It is the same as OctoPerf Saas, but runs on your own computers.

Being based on Docker has numerous advantages:

Easy to setup: easily run the application within minutes using docker-compose,
Clean: Remove the Docker containers and you're done. Your system is kept clean,
Flexible configuration: Docker gives you the full control over configuration, ranging from Single Machine setup to High Availability clustered environments.

OctoPerf On Premise Infra Setup takes only a few minutes.

Architecture¶

OctoPerf On Premise Infra is made of 4 components:

OctoPerf Enterprise-Edition: Backend server exposing the Rest Api consumed by the User-Interface,
OctoPerf UI: Frontend server which serves the User-Interface,
OctoPerf Documentation: small nginx server serving the documentation,
and Elasticsearch: Database used to persist all your datas.

In addition to this, an HAProxy Load Balancer exposes the whole application on a single port. All those components are publicly available as Docker images on Docker HUB.
