Hardware

Model MacBook Pro (MacBookPro11,4) - August 2015
Processor:    Intel Core i7 2,2 GHz

Setup

For this test, we stored this configuration at krakend.json

{
  "version": 1,
  "endpoints": [
    {
      "endpoint": "/foo",
      "method": "GET",
      "backend": [
        {
          "url_pattern": "/__debug/bar",
          "host": [
            "http://127.0.0.1:8080"
          ]
        }
      ],
      "concurrent_calls": "1",
      "max_rate": 100000
    }
  ],
  "oauth": {
    "disable": true
  },
  "cache_ttl": "5m",
  "timeout": "5s"
}

And we started the KrakenD with this cmd:

$ ./krakend run --config krakend.json -d > /dev/null

Response from the ‘debug backend’:

$ curl -i http://127.0.0.1:8080/__debug/bar
