This article discusses the nuances of load testing embedding endpoints, highlighting that requests per second (RPS) is an insufficient metric. It explains that batch size significantly impacts throughput and latency, as fixed per-request overhead is amortized over more items. The author advises testing various batch sizes to find an optimal point where latency is minimized before it increases due to large payload sizes, and suggests using tools like Locust to simulate these varied batch requests.
