Scamper is a collection of RESTful libraries and frameworks, organized as a testbed for comparing the raw performance characteristics of each.

Each implementation exposes the same three endpoints:

Each endpoint responds with <h1>slept for { duration } ms</h1>, where duration is the actual amount of time spent blocking.

Each implementation runs on localhost:9000 and can be tested with a variety of tools, such as weighttp or JMeter.

Test results

For full test results, see the Wiki.

Getting started

git clone git://github.com/Versal/scamper.git

brew install nodejs
npm install -g express
(cd scamper/node.js ; npm link express)

Each server can be tested with JMeter or weighttp:

jmeter -n -t scamper/load-test.jmx
jmeter -n -t scamper/fast-test.jmx

weighttp -n 500000 -c 20 -t 4 -k http://localhost:9000/fast
