Benchmarking

[sideninja]

Implement benchmarking tests for event indexing to gauge scalability of the solution.
The more concerning aspect of the scalability is query access of the storage as the size of the data grows. The aspect of keeping up with the events emitted related to EVM execution is not concerning.

We should also implement loaders that test the whole system on the benchmarking network (benchnet) which would be part of e2e testing.

A tool worth trying out for benchmark & load testing is https://www.paradigm.xyz/2023/06/flood

[sideninja]

Let's start benchmarking using the flood tool https://github.com/paradigmxyz/flood

@m-Peter can you take this on and share here suggested strategy to benchmark and to stress-test.

Start by running everything against local emulator and EVM GW. After the test also inspect the output logs for any potential issues during the tests (unknown bugs).

@sideninja Sure thing 👍 I will get started on this, to get a feel of how it works and whether it works for our use-case, and will then share the findings.
