Hi, I'm running appwrite on my vps.. I just want to know the performance and limits of appwrite on my vps. Is there anyway to check the performance?

I'm general, you would perform a load test with something like k6

You can run a few tests type to get a grasp of your Appwrite performance.
Tests
Run your tests against some endpoint that will have to do some Appwrite logic. The best would be
- POST creating document -
/v1/databases/{databaseId}/collections/{collectionId}/documents
- GET getting documents -
/v1/databases/{databaseId}/collections/{collectionId}/documents
- POST executing a function
/v1/functions/{functionId}/executions
Make sure to turn off abuse protection, check_APP_OPTIONS_ABUSE
in https://appwrite.io/docs/environment-variables#general
Load test First as Steven suggested run a "load test" in which you'll test the ability of your server to response to as much connections possible, You can use oha/k6s for that one
Stress test
Second, now you can run a "Stress test" in which you're testing the ability of your Appwrite server to remain responsible over time!
Because you're testing the server ability to server N users it will be best to add sleep
to your k6s testing suite, like so:
import http from 'k6/http';
import {sleep} from 'k6';
export default () => {
const data = {
"data": JSON.stringify({data:'someData'})
}
// Executing a function.
const urlRes = http.post('https://you.appwrite.cloud/v1/functions/{functionId}/executions',JSON.stringify(data),{
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
'X-Appwrite-Project': '5df5acd0d48c2'
},
});
sleep(1);
}
Without adding the sleep the stress tests become load testing and won't give close-to-the-truth results.
Make sure to run all those tests without any DNS in the middle like Cloudflare (you can avoid that by using custom hosts file in the local machine)

I guess I need to use api keys so that I won't be rate limited by appwrite

Yes Or you can disable the abuse which remove the rate limiter

But there are no limitation for api keys right?

No
