This repository contains simple web servers written in Go (Gin), Rust, Node.js (Express), TypeScript (Express), and Python (FastAPI). Each server performs the same task:
- Accepts a JSON request with the format
{
"graphName": "xyz"
}- Parses the JSON and prints the
graphName. - Returns the same JSON as the response.
All servers are designed to be lightweight and easy to test. Each server runs on port 8080, so you can test them one at a time.
git clone https://github.com/thehellmaker/webserver-performance-benchmarks.git
cd webserver-performance-benchmarksEach server can be started independently. Navigate to the respective directory and follow the README instructions.
Follow the k6 installation guide for your platform.
cd testA k6 script (test.js) is provided to test the server. Ensure the server is running on port 8080 before executing the script by going to the respective language folder and running it.
k6 run -u 50 -i 1000000 --duration 1h --tag testname=million_request_test test.js k6 run -u 50 -i 10000000 --duration 1h --tag testname=10_million_request_test test.jsThe results of these benchmarks have been updated in the respective folders of different languages
