Benchmarks
Leveraging our experience with Node.js performance, Fastify has been built from the ground up to be as fast as possible.
All the code used for our benchmarks is available on GitHub.
Here's a brief summary on how fastify overhead performed against the some other well known Node.js web frameworks:
55748 req/sec (Check the code)
38584 req/sec (Check the code)
11859 req/sec (Check the code)
35874 req/sec (Check the code)
29672 req/sec (Check the code)
Please note that this is a synthetic, "hello world" benchmark that aims to evaluate the framework overhead. The overhead that each framework has on your application depends on your application, you should always benchmark if performance matters to you.
