GCP performance and scaling

Performance metrics (scan times)

Below are some estimates of how long a scan takes for various file types. The data was collected by uploading individual sample files to a GCP source bucket that was in the same region as the scanner. The estimates were tested with the default GCP function app settings:

  • PDF file under 100 MB: 11 seconds
  • ASCII text file under 10 MB: 2 seconds
  • PNG file under 60 MB: 5 seconds
  • DOCX file under 10 MB: 3 seconds
  • GZIP file under 27 MB: 4 seconds
  • MOV file under 2 GB: 2 seconds

Performance metrics (volume scan times)

Below are some estimates of how long a scan takes and settings that were used for various numbers of 100 KB PDF files. The data was collected in a deployment with one storage stack and one scanner in the same region.

Total number of files Settings Total scan time (seconds)
10000 default setting 238
1000 default setting 25
100 default setting 12
