Conclusion

As shown in the above results, the EMQX on a 32C64G machine can support 100,000 concurrent connections and 100,000 messages with QoS 1 and payload of 200B per second persisted to TimescaleDB. All messages are written to the database in real time. During the traffic period, the CPU user ranges from 61% to 69%, with an average CPU user of 64%, and CPU idle ranges from 11% to 25%, with an average of 20%. Memory usage is stable. The average response time of connect during the test is at the level of millisecond, and the average response time of publish is 15ms.
