Bun & Deno Comparision

[ronag]

It would be nice to have some benchmarks vs Bun and Deno with things we would like to make faster. It provides some incentive and makes it more interesting to do perf work. Also a good indication of what things actually can be made faster

I agree, I also think it's important to measure actual user flows (kind of like what we did with boxbee for bluebird) and not micro-benchmarks.

I've been using my own micro-benchmarks which helped me a lot: https://github.com/anonrig/node-benchmarks

I can move my benchmark repository to this repository and start creating a suite of benchmarks against Bun & Deno and Node. wdyt? @ronag

I agree with @benjamingr. It would be great to benchmark some realistic applications instead of only using micro-benchmarks, and then using profiling to find out why Node.js is slower for those particular applications (if it is). Micro-benchmarks are great for what they are, but they don't say anything about real-world impact of performance optimizations.

This issue is about creating benchmarks. Please stay on topic.
