I ran a benchmark for Ruby on Rails and Express.js using `siege` - and Express for some reason performed worse than Rails.
How benchmark works - application query some text from remote HTTP service (service delays each request for 200ms) and render HTML page using that text. *Results* - transactions rate are the same (already strange, I expected node.js to outperform rails by at least a couple of times) - average response time in rails is 0.8s and in express 4s (siege doesn't show average time it in the report, but it can be seen from its logs). *Details* The remote service with delay (sipmle node.js server) https://github.com/alexeypetrushin/web-frameworks-benchmarks/blob/master/lorem-ipsum.js Express.js https://github.com/alexeypetrushin/web-frameworks-benchmarks/blob/master/expressjs/app.js Rails (with Puma server) https://github.com/alexeypetrushin/web-frameworks-benchmarks/blob/master/rails/app/controllers/posts_controller.rb Siege command `siege -b -t10s -c100 http://localhost:3000` Full code and instructions how to run https://github.com/alexeypetrushin/web-frameworks-benchmarks All application has been run in production mode. How is that possible and where is the bug in this benchmark, what's I'm doing wrong? -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
