Micro Benchmark

How the benchmarks were performed?

We created a “Hello World” benchmark seeking to identify the smallest load overhead of each framework. Similar to the benchmark made with Frameworks.

Using a route for the HTTP method ‘GET’ we pass a parameter to a handler returning a “Hello $name” response.

What measurements were recorded?

These were the measurements we record to identify the overall performance of each framework:

  • Requests per second
  • Time across all concurrent requests
  • Number of included PHP files on a single request (measured using function get_included_files.
  • Memory Usage per request (measured using function memory_get_usage.

Graphs

The first graph shows how many requests per second each framework was able to accept. The second shows the average time across all concurrent requests.

Conclusion

The compiled nature of Phalcon offers extraordinary performance that outperforms all other frameworks measured in these benchmarks.
