Question

FME Server Benchmarks/Throughput?

I know this question has a lot of subjectivity to it, but we are currently working on an enterprise event bus/integration architecture plan and considering FME as a central point in this new architecture. We were wondering if there might be any benchmarks around the throughput capabilities of FME Server/Engines before trying to design and run our own tests.

 

 

Obviously, there is a lot of "it depends" in this question, as the complexity of a workspace has a great deal of impact, but any starting points or information would be helpful.

Thanks!

@mconway You're right, this is a pretty broad question. In the end, you have to look at your typical workflows and go from there. Do you have a few, very large jobs running on a schedule? Many small jobs that need immediate turn around? Are your jobs memory intensive (many blocker transformers)?

We have found that many FME Servers are configured on a VM environment and this can have a detrimental impact on performance, if the VM is not configured appropriately. Some thoughts on that topic are here.
