Hello World Benchmarks

These benchmarks are based on the fastify benchmarks repo! in fact our goal is to perform similar to fastify as we considered it the industry standard in terms of performance.

mion is focused on being lightweight and fast so it can be run in serverless environments. We run the benchmarks before every PR gets merged to ensure there is no performance regression.

Please always take benchmarks as general guidelines as you might obtain different results in your real world application. we just run the benchmarks to ensure there is no performance degradation when new features/fixes are added to mion.

What is tested?

This is a simple hello world scenario, is a good indicator of the router performance and theoretical upper limit of each framework.

// ### mion ###
export const routes = {
  sayHello: (): string => ({hello: "world"}),
} satisfies Routes;

// ### Express ###
app.get("/sayHello", function (req, res) {
  res.json({ hello: "world" });
});

Notes

mion creates standard Request, Response & Headers Object for each incoming request. This is so mion can be used in multiple platforms. Even if we sacrifice a bit of performance in exchange for flexibility, mion is still pretty performant.
