Benchmarking programming languages and web frameworks

FastHTTP (Go)

FastHTTP is a low-level, high-performance HTTP framework for Go designed to be faster than the standard net/http package. It is optimized for high throughput and low memory usage in performance-critical applications. FastHTTP provides the foundation for many higher-level Go web frameworks seeking maximum efficiency.

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)	Stability Indicates how stable the framework is under load: median / P99 latency (higher is better)	Memory Indicates how much memory (RAM) the framework uses. (lower is better)

Memory Management

Garbage Collection

Go is a statically typed, compiled programming language designed at Google that is syntactically similar to C but with memory safety and garbage collection. It is designed to be simple, efficient, and readable with a focus on concurrent programming. Go is widely used for building network servers, data pipelines, and command-line tools.
