Performance metrics of different NodeJS frameworks

node-performance

In this repo, I've run a round of tests for different node frameworks.

Results

Rank	Framework	Version	Req. served Per Sec.
#1	donode	1.0.0-beta.3	1200 - 1300
#2	express	4.14.1	900 - 1200
#3	restify	4.3.0	900 - 1150
#4	hapi	16.1.0	350 - 500

Out of the listed frameworks results are quite near for all except for hapi.

hapi seems to be damn slower and clearly out of race.

GET:

express and restify are serving around 1200 requests per second.

Whereas donode is slightly higher and is 1250+ requests per second.

POST:

restify and express POST requests are not as performant as their GET requests. They are slightly slower and are about 1000 requests per sercond.

Whereas donode performing almost equal to its GET requests at a rate about 1200 requests per second.

donode wins !!

This framework is performing better than all in all categories and also code looks pretty much organized. But its a new framework and currently in beta version.

Detailed results

I've broken the results down and by request type have included requests served per sec and mean latency.

Note:- Two tests performed per request type here are the observed results.

Framework	Request type	Req. served Per Sec.	Mean Latency
donode	GET	1262	15.8 ms
		1203	16.5 ms
	POST	1214	16.4 ms
		1218	16.3 ms
express	GET	1135	17.5 ms
		989	20.1 ms
	POST	1038	19.2 ms
		907	21.9 ms
restify	GET	1220	16.3 ms
		1158	17.2 ms
	POST	957	20.8 ms
		935	21.2 ms
hapi	GET	496	40.2 ms
		418	47.7 ms
	POST	349	57.1 ms
		389	51.3 ms

Running Tests

1. clone this repo
2. npm install (run another "npm install" inside donode directory)
3. npm install -g loadtest
4. npm run framework-name

and loadtest using the following.

GET

loadtest -n 10000 -c 20 http://localhost:3000/loadtest/get/10/data10/20

POST

loadtest -n 10000 -c 20 -m POST -T application/json -P '{"key": "value"}' http://localhost:3000/loadtest/post/1/data10/2

TODO: Test execution needs to be simplified.
