Load testing fails with Tyk 5.1

Dear @Olu and @munkiat,

thank you for your answers. We double checked and here is my revisited answer:

  • you are correct, the analytics_config.type cannot have redis value. That was a copy/paste issue from our side.
  • it is also correct that both enable_analytics and enable_health_checks configuration values work as expected, so if we set them to false they will switch off the corresponding feature.
  • the root cause of the misunderstanding was that we played with setting them on and off in parallel and mistakenly we came to the conclusion that the zrange command (which takes a lot of time as we measured) is executed by the analytics module.

So, to summarize: after we set the enable_health_checks to false there was a considerable speed increase in Tyk. Basically we came to a very similar conclusion as this thread: Scaling Redis for Tyk in AWS - #5 by kalpik

Thank you for your inputs and for driving me in the good direction.
