Akka Http JSON serialization is very slow
I'm measuring 3-4 ms serialization time of simple JSON. Is this the performance to expect from AKKA or is there something that can be done to rectify it?
case class Response(msg: String)
implicit val format = jsonFormat(Response)
def logMagnet()(t: LoggingAdapter): HttpRequest => RouteResult => Unit = {
request => {
val startTime = System.currentTimeMillis()
response => {
val total = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime
logger.info("took $total")
}
}
}
val route = logRequestResult(LoggingMagnet(logMagnet())) {
val start = System.currentTimeMillis()
val calculateSomethings = ....
val duration = System.currentTimeMillis() - start
val response = Response("took $duration to calculate")
complete(response)
}
The time between the logged and the response is 3-4 ms consistantly for trivial serializations.

Since you haven't used something like JMH for benchmark I can assume that this is probably just a cold-JVM - in other words you would have to run this code many times over (let's say 100-1000 times) to simulate actual workload, where JVM optimizations kick-in.

And which JSON serialization you used? Vanilla Akka-HTTP doesn't have any JSON serialization build-in as far as I remember, you would have to use some Spray/Play JSON or Circe or sth else.

Are you testing a single request?

I'd suggest to use json4s, and do not use curentTimeMillis. You didn't provide the code for 'calculateSomething'. It might be the slowest part of your code.
