Note: every competitor is a Node.js package — none ship a native binary, so this section can only show ferrflow. Cross-tool comparisons live in the Npm section.

Note: no competitor publishes a first-party Docker image that is comparable to ghcr.io/ferrlabs/ferrflow (a single static binary). Wrapping the Node tools in node:lts would only re-time node startup + npm + the tool already measured in the Npm section, so this section is intentionally limited to ferrflow.
