Pythonists on their way to optimize the code to lose to Golang only to 6x times, instead of 7x

[spdlqj]

Great to see my favorite frameworks' performance limits,
now I can choose frameworks based on the requirements I faced

[DenDenn]

Laravel vs Ruby on Rails vs Django, with a static html page test and a simple insert and get route using postgres

[LiveType]

No python backend that does anything even remotely complicated will be able to match go. This is about the performance I would expect as it exactly matches the difference in performance I have personally observed. About ~5-20x depending on where exactly the bottleneck is.

Thank you. Incredible tests. Can you make a graph of requests per second of all frameworks you tested yet?

[lazyhrse]

People are bashing python, and here I'm so impressed that it's only 7x from golang. It's impressive for a scripting language.
Also, we have come from a long way, 500 req/s is usually enough, even the biggest sites like instagram and youtube are still using python to this day.

I guess by the end of the year you will become a master of golang performance optimization ( I really like golang and I like the fact that there is a lot of go videos) love your video keep going

[andresaguilar]

Hey great content as always, can you compare javascript/typescript orms perfirmance please? Sequelize, prisma, drizzel and typeorm pleaasee

[django]

Cool, hey! What monitoring tool you use?

[JT-mrdb]

That Python latency hurts the heart a bit, but man Go is good.

[azulamazigh]

do you have plans to do Nginx vs HAproxy vs Envoy. thank you for this serie it's very informative.

[prerithsubramanya]

Can you test robyn framework in python vs go ?

[novacode]

WOW increible video, esta genial, sigue con ellos me ayudas a aprender un poco mas y ver que me combiene para elaborar aplicaciones de alto rendimiento <3 un abrazo desde Peru

[aryindra]

Can you using socketify for server gateway interface in fastapi

[damianblejwas]

Could you compare spring + virtual threads vs quarkus vs micronaut vs go?

Anyways golang seems like a great baseline to compare any other framework to.

[krissukoco]

This is what I watch while having breakfast. Good stuff

[malexejev]

Love the 1) visual implementation and 2) collective efforts to improve performance.
But, really, we don't compare "languages" here, but mostly [web] servers and networking lib implementations. I would just standardize the APIs, and let folks group into teams around their favourite langs and platforms, incl. Java, C++, etc etc

[PedroLopes-zxsl]

I know that the focus of your benchmarks is on web frameworks, but I think it would be really cool if you created one comparing PDF parsers in different programming languages. I searched for this and couldn't find any good benchmarks on that topic online.

I wonder if this improves when python finally gets rid of GIL

[varuzam]

Pls compare LiteStar vs FastApi vs BlackSheep
