Demo Paper: Benchmarking Scalability of Cloud-Native Applications with Theodolite

Theodolite is a framework for benchmarking the scalability of cloud-native applications. It automates deployment and monitoring of a cloud-native application for different load intensities and provisioned cloud resources and assesses whether specified service level objectives (SLOs) are fulfilled. Provided as a Kubernetes Operator, Theodolite allows defining, sharing, and archiving benchmarks and experiment configurations in declarative files. We demonstrate Theodolite’s benchmarking method and show how researchers and cloud engineers can execute existing scalability benchmarks or define new ones with Theodolite
