Benchmarking programming languages and web frameworks
Axum (Rust)
Axum is a web framework maintained by the Tokio project team for building modern, efficient web applications using Rust. It is crafted to leverage Rust’s asynchronous runtime, Tokio, enabling developers to build applications that are scalable and performant.
This benchmark tests how fast a framework can perform concurrent HTTP requests, I/O operations, and JSON de/serialization.
Rust is a modern, systems-level programming language focused on safety, speed, and concurrency sponsored by Mozilla Research.
Rust provides memory safety without using garbage collection, employing a unique system of ownership with rules that the compiler checks at compile time. This language is designed to create high-performance applications with a high degree of control over system resources and memory usage. Rust's rich type system and strict compile-time checks eliminate common bugs such as null pointer dereferencing and data races, making it ideal for use in everything from embedded devices to large-scale systems and complex software.
