YARF benchmarks

This are several benchmarks made to see how YARF performs under different conditions and compared against other similar frameworks. The results shows how using the route cache improves the performance beating most frameworks in the test.

Note: Running the benchmarks will need at least 14GB of free memory.

Frameworks used for comparison

• Gin
• Goji
• Gorilla Mux
• HttpRouter
• Martini
• Pat
• Yarf

Running the benchmarks

To run the benchmarks yourself simply clone this repository, step into the root directory and run:

 # CPU profiling
 go test -bench .

 # Memory profiling
 go test -benchmem -bench .
