dev-benchmark

Benchmark script to measure performance of development tools.

Motivation: Recently I realized that I own multiple computers. I wanted to know which one can run my web development tools faster and more efficiently. So, I created this simple script to benchmark them by running my regular real-world tools like: CRA, express generator etc. and measure the time.

How does it work?

The run.sh script will generate a CRA webapp (benchmark1) and an Express-NodeJS app (benchmark2).
Then it will run usual npm commands like: npm run build, npm run test and measure the time (in seconds).
Results will be added to this README.md file. (run git status to see the changes)

Create a Pull Request to add results of your computer performance.

Usage

Node JS v15+
Tested with Ubuntu, Debian, MacOS, Windows (with Cygwin).

- Clone and Run:
git clone https://github.com/ngduc/dev-benchmark.git
cd dev-benchmark
sh run.sh "Brand Model - OS - CPU - RAM - HDD - Node version"

Tips:
- Run "sh run.sh" twice to get more accurate results. (due to npm caches)
- Close all background apps, remote access apps. Plug in the charger if using a laptop.

Results

After running the script (run it twice for accurate results), the benchmark results (in seconds) will be added to this README.md file.
