Running benchmarks

• Install the dependencies

npm install

• Run the server

npm start

• Test the server (optional)

If you have curl, you can check that the server returns JSON:

 curl -d '{ "url": "https://www.google.com/hello-world?query=search#value" }'  -H 'Content-Type: application/json'  -X POST localhost:3000/href

• Run the benchmark in another shell

  • Install autocannon (if needed)

    npm i autocannon -g

  • Start the benchmark (URL parsing):

    autocannon -m 'POST' -H 'content-type=application/json' -b '{ "url": "https://www.google.com/hello-world?query=search#value" }' http://localhost:3000/href

  • Start the benchmark (trivial string return):

    autocannon -m 'POST' -H 'content-type=application/json' -b '{ "url": "https://www.google.com/hello-world?query=search#value" }' http://localhost:3000/simple
