背景介绍

我们在项目中逐渐切换使用了gRPC作为服务间调用的主要手段，逐步替换RESTful API在目前我们项目中的使用。在使用过程中，gRPC的效率是我们想对比较关心并且从目前来看相对难以优化的组件，所以本文就是探讨如何能够在不修改gRPC源码的前提下尽量提升gRPC的性能。

grpc官方提供了性能benchmark可以供大家查看，具体的链接可以在 gRPC Performance Dashboard 中查看。

性能测试

性能测试采用我们的线上标配，目前由于业务量原因，其实性能并不高，这里只是对比参考，建议你在后续处理过程中自行测试。其实最简单的处理方式就是创建多个gRPC client。

单Client处理：

➜  client ./client -n 100000 -c 1
2017/08/04 16:49:39 concurrency: 1
requests per client: 100000

2017/08/04 15:59:39 message size: 581 bytes

2017/08/04 16:00:04 took 24467 ms for 100000 requests
2017/08/04 16:00:04 sent     requests    : 100000
2017/08/04 16:00:04 received requests    : 100000
2017/08/04 16:00:04 received requests_OK : 100000
2017/08/04 16:00:04 throughput  (TPS)    : 4087
2017/08/04 16:00:04 mean: 244283 ns, median: 241106 ns, max: 6107692 ns, min: 138633 ns, p99: 678374 ns
2017/08/04 16:00:04 mean: 0 ms, median: 0 ms, max: 6 ms, min: 0 ms, p99: 0 ms

修改Client数目为10：

➜  client ./client -n 100000 -c 10
2017/08/04 16:02:55 concurrency: 10
requests per client: 10000

2017/08/04 16:02:55 message size: 581 bytes

修改Client数目为20：

➜  client ./client -n 100000 -c 20
2017/08/04 16:03:48 concurrency: 20
requests per client: 5000

2017/08/04 16:06:57 concurrency: 15
requests per client: 6666
