📊 Server Comparison

Minimalistic web-server benchmarks with an emphasis on capturing real-world usage characteristics.

Test Case

Every server implementation must solve the following task on each request:

1. Read the test_data.json file from the file system.
2. Deserialize the JSON file to a language-specific data structure (eg.: object, struct etc...).
3. Take the token field and verify the JWT using the secret.
4. Deserialize the JWT payload into a language-specific data structure.
5. Respond with the deserialized payload in the form of a JSON body.

Results

The server under test was running on the cheapest DigitalOcean VM, with 1 vCPU and 1GB of RAM. The benchmark was powered by wrk, with the following parameters:

• Total number of HTTP connections to keep open: 100
• Total number of threads to use: 2
• Duration of the test: 15s
