A simple web server benchmark comparison
I spent a day having some fun comparing the performance of different web servers on my local machine. For this little project, I tested servers written langs: c (libuv), Go, Bun, PHP, Node.js, and Rust (hyper), just to see how they stack up. I used simple benchmarking tools and made sure to keep it easy with make to handle all the tasks.
Why did I do this? Well, sometimes it’s just fun to see how different languages and frameworks perform, and it’s a great way to learn! Plus, it’s always interesting to find out which server can handle the load the best.
Feel free to run your own benchmarks!
