> time bin/console buildįor comparison: The same task ran in 4 minute 25 seconds on a Linux system! That’s 89% faster! > time bin/console build Further insight gave an article about using NFS which we didn’t pursue.įirst, we defined a disk heavy test task in our project to run on a container to measure runtimes for later comparison. All proposed steps seemed reasonable accept updating Docker to ‚edge‘ – this seems not necessary any more as the software is matured. So we began research to optimize performance on Mac and ease our daily work.ĭuring research i came across an article about tuning disk performance for Docker on Mac. While Docker per se is a Linux technology and obviously runs best on Linux the runtimes on Mac were way too slow to be acceptable. Seriously: In a project all developers using a Mac had poor performance compared to those using a Ubuntu Linux system.
