🚀 Native Benchmark 2025 – Spring / Quarkus / Go / Rust

This project benchmarks multiple backend stacks, comparing their performance in both JVM mode and native compilation (where available), along with two natively compiled languages: Go and Rust.

To see the results

---

🎯 Goal

Evaluate and compare the following performance aspects:

• ⚙️ Build & Packaging

• 🚀 Startup & Runtime Performance

• 🌐 API Responsiveness & Stability

• 👥 Load Simulation

---

🧰 Stacks Tested

Stack	Type	Technology
Spring Boot	JVM	Java 21 + Spring Boot
Spring Native	Native (GraalVM)	Java 21 + Spring AOT
Quarkus	JVM	Java 21 + Quarkus
Quarkus Native	Native (GraalVM)	Java 21 + Quarkus
Go	Native	Go 1.20
Rust	Native	Rust (actix-web, etc.)

📦 Usage

Each framework has its own Dockerfile and build setup. All benchmarks run in isolated containers using Docker Compose.

Build and run the tests on a framework

cd restApi<Framework>
./<Framework>.sh

Or

cd restApi<Framework>
.\<Framework>.ps1

---

📊 Metrics Collected

Metrics

All metrics are logged and can be exported via k6 output integrations (InfluxDB, JSON, etc.).

---

🔧 Methodology

We run the tests 10 times for each Framework, compute their average and then compare it.
