Workers vs. the competitiors

A hello-world GraphQL function deployed on Cloudflare Workers, AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Functions.

const { gql, ApolloServer } = require('apollo-server-${platform}')

const typeDefs = gql`
  type Query {
    hello: String
  }
`

const resolvers = {
  Query: {
    hello: () => 'Hello world!',
  },
}

const server = new ApolloServer({
  typeDefs,
  resolvers,
  introspection: true,
})

// Platform-specific handler
// e.g. module.exports.graphql = server.createHandler()

Results

Results are collected from each provider's logs, execution times are based on what the platform reports.

Reproduce

1. Run serverless deploy (or wrangler publish for Cloudflare Workers)
2. Run artillery run benchmark.yml to run various benchmarking tests
3. Go to the provider's logging system and export the execution times (this will be different for every platform)
4. Compare the results!
