Build Status Join the chat at https://gitter.im/which_is_the_fastest/Lobby

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 beetween 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

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

Usage

  • Install all dependencies
shards install
  • Build internal tools
shards build
  • Build containers

job is either a language (example : crystal) or a framework (example : router.cr)

bin/neph [job]
  • Start the benchmark ....

tools is a list of language / framework to challenge (example : ruby kemal amber go python)

bin/benchmarker [tools]
