Rust ? about app-servers HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi,

Thanks for suggestions, i will surely gave it a try: indeed i had a raw iron server benchmarked some months ago and it was speedy!

I will add it soon!

from app-servers.

Added Rust+Iron to the pack: i was expecting a better throughput anyway.
I will try to run benchmarks on a new workstation (SSD) once i will get it, to see if the numbers changes.

Cool, thanks for trying Rust! 😄

Iron is probably so slow because it includes a whole router. I think it compares more to Sinatra or Kemal than a bare HTTP server. Maybe it could be more optimized, but it's nice for a "hello world" bench.

I just verified that using the hyper HTTP server lib that powers Iron is a lot faster: wrk2 gives +/- 79k req/sec. It's still terrible but running on battery on my 2011 Lenovo X220, it's not so bad. 😇

If you're curious, use Hyper's example with a Cargo.toml like this one:

[package]
name = "hyper-server"
version = "0.1.0"

[dependencies]
hyper = { git = "https://github.com/hyperium/hyper.git" }
env_logger = "*"
num_cpus = "*"

Cheers!

Thanks!
I apologize, since i'm not a rustacean yet ;)
It surely make more sense adding it without a router. I will replace the Iron server with a plain Hyper HTTP app.

Thanks!

Replaced Iron example with Hyper HTTP one and throughput on my MacBook improved of about 10000 req/sec!

Memory footprint instead triplicated compared to Iron, maybe there's some optimization that can be done on the "Hello World" example you shared.
