Introduction

This repository serves as a comprehensive resource for comparing backend technologies based on speed and load capabilities. Our benchmarks focus on write and read operations, as well as requests to static endpoints, reflecting real-world usage scenarios to assist developers and decision-makers in choosing the most suitable backend framework for their needs.

Prerequisites

• Docker installed on the system to run the benchmarks.
• The scripts/start_tests.sh script is used to launch each test and create the graphs.

Completed Benchmarks

Benchmarks are categorized into:

1. Database Tests (db_test): Involving database operations such as read and write requests.
2. Static Endpoint Tests (no_db_test): Involving requests to static endpoints without database interaction.

Python

• Django (Sync and Async) - Connection Pooling with PgBouncer.

Dart

• Serverpod

JavaScript/TypeScript

• Express (Node and Bun)

C#

• .Net Core

Go

Rust

Testing Tool: Locust

• Configuration:
  • Users: 10000
  • Spawn Rate: 10 users/second
  • Test Duration: 1000 seconds

Benchmark Visualization

Visual comparisons for database endpoints and static endpoints are provided to showcase performance differences across technologies.
