What level of performance can we expect with using FusionAuth as an IdP?
-
If we run FusionAuth on a t2.medium or t3.medium, how many logins per second?
-
We have load tested our medium deployments to roughly 20 logins per second. It can vary quite a bit. We ship with PBKDF2 and a factor of 24,000. That configuration is the primary limiter to how many passwords we hash per second.
Tune it up to bcrypt factor 14, and it may take 3-5 second per hash. You can also tune the factor down from the default scheme to increase logins per second - it is a trade-off between security and performance.
And you can change these settings at the tenant or user levels: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/apis/tenants

Hello @dan
as you said here about level of performance ... I am not getting -
@m-arlynrasavong Hmmm. Can you share more details?
