• bun-bakery
• elysia
• express
• express-node
• fastify-node
• hono
• hyperbun

Test method: Throughput

1. Get (/)
   • [GET] /
   • Return hi in plain text
2. Params, query & header
   • [GET] /id/:id
   • Extract path params, query and header.
   • For this benchmark, the request URL will be send as: /id/1?name=bun
   • Set x-powered-by to benchmark
   • Expected response: "1 bun" (${id} ${query})
3. Post JSON
   • [POST] /json
   • Mirror body to response
   • For the benchmark, the request body will be sent as: { "hello": "world" }
   • Expected response: { "hello": "world" }

Results

For results suffix with -node means that the framework is run in Node, otherwise is using Bun.

These results are measured in req/s:
