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.

OS: LinuxCPU: Intel Core Ultra 5 325Last Updated: 2026-10-05

Framework	Requests per second How many requests per second can the framework handle? (higher is better)	Latency How long does it take to process a request? (lower is better)	Memory How much memory (RAM) does the framework use? (lower is better)	Build Time Fetching dependencies + compiling, excluding SDK setup (lower is better)
Rust / Axum	26909	1.2 ms	5.7 MB	18.83 s
JavaScript (Node.js) / Express	7670	3.7 ms	84.8 MB	3.56 s
Java (Temurin) / Spring Boot (MVC)	3059	1.8 ms	248.1 MB	20.71 s
Go / Gin	1652	3.3 ms	13.5 MB	34.62 s
Python / FastAPI (Uvicorn)	800	30.8 ms	38.8 MB	7.28 s

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.

Language	Time How long does it take to approximate PI? (lower is better, log scale)	Memory How much memory (RAM) does the program use? (lower is better)	Build Time Fetching dependencies + compiling, excluding SDK setup (lower is better)
