CrowdSec WAF / AppSec Component Benchmark

The Application Security Component benchmarks have been run on a AWS EC2 Instance t2.medium (2vCPU/4Go RAM).

All the benchmarks have been run with only one routine configured for the Application Security Component.

The benchmarks cover the following tests:

  • Basic GET request:
    • 5 concurrent connections / 1000 requests
    • 15 concurrent connections / 1000 requests

Each test has been run with multiple cases:

  • Application Security Component enabled but without any rules
  • Application Security Component enabled with 100 vpatch rules (in in-band)
  • Application Security Component enabled with all the CRS (in in-band)

On the system, we deployed:

  • Openresty 1.21.4.3
  • CrowdSec v1.6.0
  • cs-openresty-bouncer v1.0.1
