+This article provides pub/sub API performance benchmarks and resource utilization in Dapr on Kubernetes.
+
+## System overview
+
+Dapr consists of a data plane, the sidecar that runs next to your app, and a control plane that configures the sidecars and provides capabilities such as cert and identity management.
+
+### Kubernetes components
+
+* Sidecar (data plane)
+* Placement (required for actors, control plane mapping actor types to hosts)
+* Operator (control plane)
+* Sidecar Injector (control plane)
+* Sentry (optional, control plane)
+* Kafka cluster with 3 replicas
+
+## Performance summary for Dapr v1.12
+
+The Pub/Sub API is used to publish messages to a message broker. Dapr accepts requests from the app via HTTP or gRPC, wraps them in a cloud event if needed, and sends the request to the message broker.
+
+Performance varies based on the underlying message broker. The Pub/Sub performance test measures the added latency when publishing a message with Dapr compared with the baseline latency when publishing directly to the message broker.
+
+### Kubernetes performance test setup
+
+The test was conducted on a 3 node Kubernetes cluster, using commodity hardware running 4 cores and 8GB of RAM, without any network acceleration.
+
+Test parameters:
+
+* 1000 requests per second
+* 1 replica
+* 1 minute duration
+* Sidecar limited to 0.5 vCPU
+* Sidecar telemetry enabled (tracing with a sampling rate of 0.1)
+* Payload of a 1kb size
+
+### Results
+
+* The requested throughput was 1000 qps
+* The actual throughput was 1000 qps
+* Added latency for 90th percentile was 0.64ms for gRPC and 0.49ms for HTTP
+* Added latency for 99th percentile was 1.91ms for gRPC and 1.21ms for HTTP
+* Dapr app consumed ~0.2 vCPU and ~30Mb of Memory for both gRPC and HTTP
+* No app restarts
