Optimized System Requirements for Deploying Bold Reports

This article provides the detailed system requirements and configurations necessary for efficiently deploying and running Bold Reports, based on comprehensive load testing in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Windows environments. These specifications are designed to ensure optimal performance across deployment scenarios.

Overview of Load Testing

Load testing was conducted to simulate real-world usage scenarios, focusing on the following user interactions:

• Accessing the Bold Reports login page
• Navigating to the data source listing page
• Viewing the report listing page
• Opening and rendering reports

Tests were conducted with 100 concurrent users to evaluate performance under moderate to high loads, using a live dataset of 1,000 rows to reflect typical data volumes.

System Requirements for AKS Environment

For deployments in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), the following configuration was tested to ensure scalability and performance:

AKS Cluster Configuration

• Cluster Size: 2 nodes
• Node Specifications:
  • 8 CPUs per node
  • 32 GB RAM per node

The table below outlines the resource allocations and replica settings for each Bold Reports deployment in the AKS environment.

System Requirements for Windows Environment

For deployments on a Windows server, the following configuration was tested to ensure reliable performance:

Server Configuration

• Server Count: 1
• Specifications:
  • 8 vCPUs
  • 32 GB RAM
• Dataset: Live dataset with 10,000 rows
• Concurrent Users: 100
