Which is the fastest ?

Simple framework comparison

Motivation

There are many frameworks, each one comes with its own advantages and drawbacks. The purpose of this project is to identify them and attempt to measure their differences (performance is only one metric).

What is a framework ?

A framework is a set of components working together. The main intention behind a framework is to facilitate (app or service) creation. The way a framework helps any developer may vary from one to another.

A majority of frameworks could be split in 2 parts :

full-stack meaning it provides all aspects (-stacks-) from data layer to sometimes deployment
micro meaning it provides only the routing part, and let the developer choose any other component for the others

Requirements

ruby, all tools are made in ruby
wrk, results are collected using wrk
postgresql, results are stored in postgresql
docker, each implementation is implemented in an isolated container
jq, processing docker metadata
docker-machine if you are on macos

Usage

Setup

bundle install
bundle exec rake config

Build

⚠️ On macos, you need to use docker-machine to allow docker usage for each framework ⚠️

docker-machine rm default --force
docker-machine create default
eval $(docker-machine env default)

export FRAMEWORK=php/lumen
cd ${FRAMEWORK} 
make -f .Makefile build

make -f ${FRAMEWORK}/.Makefile collect

⚠️ You need to be on the project main directory ⚠️
