Which is the fastest web framework?

Which is the fastest?

This project aims to be a load benchmarking suite, no more, no less

Measuring response times (routing times) for each framework (middleware).

⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

Results are not production-ready yet

⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

Additional purposes :

• Helping decide between languages, depending on use case
• Learning languages, best practices, devops culture ...
• Having fun ❤️

Requirements

• Crystal as built-in tools are made in this language
• Docker as frameworks are isolated into containers
• wrk as benchmarking tool, >= 4.1.0

ℹ️ you need wrk stable

git clone --branch 4.1.0 https://github.com/wg/wrk

⚠️ docker is used for development purpose, production results will be computed on DigitalOcean ⚠️

Usage

• Install all dependencies

shards install

• Build internal tools

shards build

• Initialize sqlite database

bin/db init

• Make configuration

bin/make config

• Build containers

jobs are either languages (example : crystal) or frameworks (example : router.cr)

bin/neph [job1] [job2] [job3] ...

• Export all results readme

bin/db to_readme
