We have done a fair bit of performance testing ourselves recently, but I'd
be interested to know what the results are from your testing.
For complex flow I'd suggest going to an external client rather than
account management. Also, I'd suggest only a random number of the users
actively logout (in real life some users will click logout, but most will
just close the browser so there's a background thread that eventually
removes expired sessions).
For users you also need to make sure they have some role mappings.

Hello group,
has anyone already stress tested a Keycloak deployment?
The Keycloak Testsuite contains a rudimentary stress test for login/logout
[0],
but we were wondering whether someone has already done more thorough
testing here that they are willing to share.
We're looking into stress testing Keycloak with gatling [1] to get a sense
for when Keycloak falls over and some information about JVM memory
requirements during high load.
Furthermore, are there any suggestions for use-cases that should be tested
in particular, e.g.:
-
Simple Page Invocations (Unauthenticated, Authenticated)
-
Login
-
Logout
-
Registration
-
Account Page
-
Complex flows
-
Login, goto account page, Logout
-
Login, goto account page, change password, Logout, Login with new
password
-
Service Requests
-
Aquire Refresh Token
-
Aquire Access Token
Are there any (knwon) potentially expensive operations that are not
obvious that should be tested in particular?
(in simulating a real-world load with high user counts, for example, are
there any particularly expensive operations where a high user count would
noticeably impact performance?)
What is the best way to initialize Keycloak (e.g. backed by a PostgreSQL
database) with varying (arbitrarily large) numbers of users, in order to
get realistic performance numbers?
Given that creating XX,000 users via the REST API might take some time, is
it enough to simply generate 10,000 * X records in the UserEntity table?
Cheers,
Thomas
