Framework Benchmarks Round 7

TechEmpower

Happy Halloween fans of web development frameworks! One particularly interesting anomaly is the dominance of Windows paired with Mongo on EC2 in the Updates test. The performance is only slightly lower than the same pairing on i7, where in most cases our i7s (2600K workstations, to be precise) and EC2 (m1.large)

We''ve included Windows on EC2 results as a separate set of data within the results view but caution that the results should be considered preliminary. Additionally, we have added a new test type focused on writes, wherein a variable number of database updates are executed per request.

TechEmpower

We''ve just posted Round 6, which includes several more developer community-provided framework test implementations: Beego, Dart, Hapi, Jester, Luminus, Nancy, Yaf, Plack, Play-Slick, and Undertow.

Both Sides of the Table

What’s astonishing and few other than those who lived it as startups (I launched my second startup in this era) realize is how profound of an impact that rise of Amazon AWS (S3 & EC2) had on the startup market. The “A Round” of my startup in 1999 was $16.5 million and my A Round in 2005 was only $500,000 (and that’s all I ever raised).

This is an EC2 test run on a pair of Large instances. Among the many factors to consider when choosing a web development framework, raw performance is easy to objectively measure. We ran each test on EC2 and our i7 hardware. First up is plain JSON serialization on Amazon EC2 large instances. Starting again with EC2.

What the Past Can Tell Us About the Future of Social Networking

Both Sides of the Table

As I write these words I’m aware that I could practically change the words AOL and Facebook for much of this section and with a few factual tweaks it might not be noticeable to the reader which of the firms I was talking about. Twitter seems to have become a bit allergic to third-party developers (or maybe vice-versa).
