This repository contains the scripts necessary to conduct the Couchbase/MongoDB benchmarks conducted by Avalon Consulting, LLC. in June 2016. See the README.md files in each directory for additional details. Care has been taken to accurately reproduce the steps in a manner that will be straightforward to execute. In case this proves incorrect, please submit an issue on this repository.

The following tools are required to configure and run the benchmark:

• Vagrant with the AWS plugin
• Ansible
• the aws command line (CLI) utility

You will also need the following:

• An AWS account with access and secret keys
• Defined security group in AWS
• A defined VPC and subnet in AWS

The high-level flow is:

1. Clone this repository
2. Setup AWS network (vpc, subnet, keys, etc.). This is a manual step.
3. Edit private_settings.yml to include your AWS keys, subnets, vpc, etc. Use private_settings_example.yml as a starting point.
4. Provision Couchbase virtual machines using Vagrant and Ansible - see couchbase directory
5. Provision MongoDB virtual machines using Vagrant and Ansible - see mongodb directory
6. Provision YCSB client virtual machines using Vagrant and Ansible - see ycsb_client directory
   1. Load Couchbase dataset using YCSB
   2. Run Couchbase benchmark using YCSB
   3. Load MongoDB dataset using YCSB
   4. Run MongoDB benchmark using YCSB
