[vamshiaruru]

this is like coughing baby vs atomic bomb

[AntonPutra]

Updated my checklist: 'Use non-blocking async libraries when possible.' 😊

[AlokSingh-rjgt]

One of the fastest tortoise vs cheetah.

[pedro_alonso]

Can we have a spring boot performance benchmark? I'm curious how it will perform in comparison with other tools/languages and with virtual threads and without it

[AntonPutra]

Thank you all who helped to improve the Python application. I'll release round 2 in a few days.

[SAsquirtle]

I understand not everyone knows every language/framework well enough to make a decent app but cmon you could've done some more research.
1. Why are you using a synchronous pg driver with an async endpoint? this blocks the event loop till each query finishes. If you absolutely want to use the sync driver, use plain def routes without async.
2. Why aren't you using asyncpg with async endpoints? the whole point of FastAPI is to make completely async REST APIs which use async packages. If you cannot find an async package or method, use run_in_threadpool with the sync method.

So the conclusion is use go for any backend service if you dont have any spesific requirements that force you to use another language

[EddaFredericks]

enterprise-ai AI fixes this. Python vs Go benchmark comparison.

[ridhotamma]

FINALLY!, what I've waiting for so long, thank you Anton!

[mickhuby]

Just what I’ve been waiting for! Thanks for doing these benchmarks.

[pini]

Based on this and other videos, I didn't realize how efficient Go was! Thanks for sharing

[homosuperior]

The Switch from C# to Golang was a right one. Golang has the best simplicty / speed ratio. Using rust or c++ is more performant than golang. The costs are complexity in the codebase. Not to mention golang gives you one binary to deploy. This compared with c# dll hell...

[ttc]

Could you please make a mysql compatible database benchmarks for oceanbase and tidb?

[obamna]

Go is always a good pick for api server. good dev ux and decent performance.
if you want top tier performance but with a longer time to write pick rust.

[inithinx]

Please consider doing vs golang(fiber/echo/stdlib)

[SnazzieTV]

Python and speed can never go in the same paragraph.

[andreyvershkov]

Top video! Thanks.
Please make OpenSwoole/Swoole (PHP) comparison vs Go.

[jorgetovar]

It would be great to have a long video setting up all of this and learning how to perform these benchmarks. That way, we could better understand the process and contribute more effectively to this code.
Really good job!

[rafaeltab]

Thanks for giving me a video I can use to show people why I don't use python.

[VladimirS-ho]

Why in on 7:28 Connection Pool Size of Go increased and after that more than Python?
