# `api-gateway-eks-perf` — Jenkins slave orchestrator

This directory lives on the **Jenkins slave** perf workspace. It is the job entrypoint; it does **not** contain JMeter scenarios or RestApi deploy logic.

Those live in **`../performance-test-scripts/`** (in git: `gateway/perf/performance-test-scripts`), which this orchestrator sparse-clones via `PERF_SCRIPTS` on every run.

| File | Role |
|------|------|
| `run-api-gateway-eks-tests.sh` | Full pipeline (EKS → gateway → JMeter → results → cleanup) |
| `create-jmeter-ec2s.sh` | 1 client + 2 server EC2s in the EKS VPC |
| `eks-cluster-perf.yaml.template` | eksctl cluster template |
| `cleanup.sh` | EXIT trap: terminate EC2s, delete cluster |

**To extend scenarios / RestApis / JMX:** edit `performance-test-scripts` and point `PERF_SCRIPTS` at your branch. See that folder’s [README](../performance-test-scripts/README.md).

**Change this folder only when:** job infra changes (EC2 counts, VPC wiring, clone paths, `env.eks` generation defaults, cleanup).

Do not suppress eksctl delete cluster errors, and align the messages with --wait.

Two problems exist here:

  1. The messages state the deletion "runs async" and is only "initiated". --wait makes eksctl block until deletion completes, so both messages are wrong.
  2. 2>/dev/null || true discards all error output. If the deletion fails, an EKS cluster and its node groups stay running and no diagnostic appears in the Jenkins log. That is a silent cost leak.

Keep the trap non-fatal, but surface the failure.

-    eksctl delete cluster --name "${EKS_CLUSTER_NAME}" --region "${AWS_REGION:-us-east-1}" \

Restrict SSH ingress to the Jenkins slave address.

The rule opens port 22 to 0.0.0.0/0. The instances receive public IP addresses (line 84), so the SSH service is reachable from the whole internet for the duration of the run. Key-based authentication limits the exposure, but the open port still invites credential-stuffing traffic and password-guessing noise on a public AMI.

Only the Jenkins slave needs SSH access. Parameterize the CIDR and default it to the slave address.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

The state-file lifecycle is not failure-safe, so AWS resources can leak. STATE_FILE is the only record that cleanup.sh uses to discover the security group and the EC2 instances. The producer writes it only after every AWS call succeeds, and the consumer deletes it even when cleanup fails. Both ends must treat the file as durable failure-recovery state.

  • gateway/perf/api-gateway-eks-perf/create-jmeter-ec2s.sh#L121-L133: write each identifier to STATE_FILE as soon as AWS returns it, instead of writing the complete file at the end.
  • gateway/perf/api-gateway-eks-perf/cleanup.sh#L62-L65: track whether every cleanup step succeeded, and remove STATE_FILE only in that case.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

desiredCapacity does not reserve a node for the gateway controller.

EKS_GATEWAY_NODE_DESIRED is set to GATEWAY_RUNTIME_REPLICAS in gateway/perf/api-gateway-eks-perf/run-api-gateway-eks-tests.sh (line 232), which defaults to 1. The shared contract in gateway/perf/performance-test-scripts/api-gateway/eks/env.eks.example uses EKS_NODE_DESIRED=$((replicas + 1)) and documents "at least one per runtime replica (controller shares a node)".

With one node, the gateway runtime pod (4 CPU limit) and the gateway controller pod (1 CPU limit) share the same node. Controller activity then competes with the runtime for CPU and skews the throughput and latency numbers that this stack publishes as baselines.

Set the gateway node group capacity to replicas + 1, or confirm that the controller is scheduled onto backend-ng.
