Best SVN Benchmarks

Are there benchmarks for performance, speed, reliability of svn databases?

  • SQLite
  • MySQL
  • PostgreSQL
  • BerkeleyDB
  • Flatfile system

Let's say we have 20 repositories running at the same time. What to choose?

The FSFS backend is the most tested and stable. For only 20 people, you are unlikely to have any performance issues.

Today you only have 2 options if you host your own server:

  • BDB (BerkeleyDB)

  • FSFS (Direct File System)

FSFS is the preferred backend these days and has been around for several years. There are almost no benefits to BDB and I think this is just for backward compatibility. FSFS is the default for any current SVN version. Many SVN binaries don't even have BDB support.

Please note that custom implementations are possible. For example, Google Code has its own SVN server based on their Bigtable architecture . Not sure if other SVN hosting providers are doing something similar.

In addition, the SVN developers are working on a replacement for FSFS called FSX or FS2 . However, it is still experimental.
