spring-boot-1-vs-2-performance

The aim of the project is to analyze the performance of spring-boot web against the spring-boot web-reactive framework. We are comparing:

• Spring-boot web - 1.5.10.RELEASE
• spring-boot web - 2.0.0.RELEASE
• spring-boot reactive-web - 2.0.0.RELEASE

For testing, we have a rest endpoint POST /persons that accepts a json Person object and returns an object with UUID.
Gatlin is used to run the tests and generate report.

Start the app with

mvn spring-boot:run

Run tests with

./gradlew loadTest -D SIM_USERS=5000
