Kotlin Web Frameworks Hello World

This project shows how to do a web-based "Hello World!" with Kotlin in combination with various JVM-based web frameworks.

Pull requests for new frameworks are welcome.

Hello World Benchmarking

While a Hello World! is not a realistic production operation, it can be useful to benchmark it to get a basic idea of how well the framework operates, without complicating matters with other work. The results of this will essentially be a best case throughput and latency scenario for the benchmarked system.

Example load test with wrk:

wrk -t6 -c200 -d30s --latency --timeout 2s http://localhost:8080/

will produce output like:

Running 30s test @ http://localhost:8080/
