We’ve run the new released image in our ECS load testing framework and here is the result. This testing result provides benchmarks of aws-for-fluent-bit under different input load.

plugin		20 MB/s	25 MB/s	30 MB/s
kinesis_firehose	Log Loss	✅	✅	✅
	Log Duplication	✅	0%(500)	✅

Note:

• The green check ✅ in the table means no log loss or no log duplication.
• Number in parentheses means the number of records out of total records. For example, 0%(1064/1.8M) under 30Mb/s throughput means 1064 duplicate records out of 18M input records by which log duplication percentage is 0%.
• For CloudWatch output, the only safe throughput where we consistently don't see log loss is 1 MB/s. At 2 Mb/s and beyond, we occasionally see some log loss and throttling.
• Log loss is the percentage of data lost and log duplication is the percentage of duplicate logs received at the destination. Your results may differ because they can be influenced by many factors like different configs and environment settings. Log duplication is exclusively caused by partially succeeded batches that were retried, which means it is random.
