API performance comparison

I'm trying to create a performance comparative between different API technologies. Requisites:

  • Uses OpenAPI
  • Uses OpenTelemetry
  • Is behind a reverse proxy
  • Calls an stored procedure in SqlServer DB
  • Uses JWT
  • Uses cryptography to hash users passwords

Comparison metrics:

  • Requests per second

To start a test, choose go to a sample folder and execute:

docker compose up

Each test will run for 2 minutes. After that you will find the results in "test-results" folder.

Samples

.NET 8 Minimal API

This sample contains an .NET 8 Minimal API with 3 methods and a locust test for each one:

  • CallProcedure: calls a stored procedure in a SQL Server DB. The procedure waits for 1 second and returns.
  • CallProcedureWithJwt: same as previous but with token validation.
  • CreateUser: calculates a password hash with SHA256 and a random salt.

The API service is behind an NGINX reverse proxy. Both the API and NGINX are configured to send telemety to a Jaeger instance. Method in API requires a JWT token. OTL Traces can be found at http://localhost:16686
