Performance Profile

#performance_profile

Typical read and write throughput, payload size and processing latency.

Read Performance Profile

Throughput: Varies greatly with query complexity and data volume (e.g., hundreds to thousands of events/sec for simple queries, lower for complex queries over large time ranges)

Payload Size: Varies (e.g., 100s of bytes to 10s of KB per log event, up to 1 MB per GetLogEvents response)

Processing Latency: 100 ms - several seconds (for GetLogEvents/FilterLogEvents), 1-10 seconds+ (for complex StartQuery/GetQueryResults)

Write Performance Profile

Throughput: Hundreds of thousands to millions of log events/sec (for PutLogEvents, depending on batch size and concurrency)

Payload Size: 1-256 KB per PutLogEvents request (batch of multiple log events), 1-256 KB per log event (max 256 KB per event, 1MB total per batch)

Processing Latency: 50-500 ms (for PutLogEvents API call)
