Benchmarking programming languages and web frameworks

Ever wondered how fast your favorite programming language
or web framework is compared to others? Let's find out!

But don't forget, performance is not everything...

Scroll down to see the benchmarks

Web frameworks

This benchmark tests how fast a framework can perform concurrent HTTP requests, I/O operations, and JSON de/serialization.

Framework	Requests per second Indicates how many requests per second the framework can handle. (higher is better)	Latency Indicates how long it takes to process a request. (lower is better)	Memory Indicates how much memory (RAM) the framework uses. (lower is better)
Rust / Axum	14730	2.2 ms	5.1 MB
Java (Temurin) / Spring Boot (MVC)	8951	1.7 ms	205.4 MB
JavaScript (Node.js) / Express	6799	4.5 ms	63.1 MB
Go / Gin	5800	2.0 ms	16.3 MB
Python / FastAPI (Uvicorn)	1422	19.4 ms	42.6 MB

Computation

This benchmark tests how fast a programming language can perform mathematical computations without any I/O or memory allocation. We are using the Leibniz formula to approximate the value of PI.
Please note that the memory usage also includes the memory used by the HTTP server. Ideally, the most lightweight HTTP server should be used to measure the raw memory usage of the runtime.

Language	Time (lower is better, custom scale)	Memory (lower is better)
