Benchmarks

Requirements

• dotnet >= 10.0
• go >= 1.25
• PowerShell 7
• bombardier >= 1.2

View the latest results.

Run the benchmark script with PowerShell 7, with bombardier, dotnet, and go on PATH (only the runtimes needed by the selected apps are required):

.\scripts\RunBenchmarks.ps1

For example, to benchmark specific apps and connection counts:

.\scripts\RunBenchmarks.ps1 -Apps AspNetMvcBench,AspNetRazorPages,FalcoBench,FrankBench,GiraffeBench,GoBench,OxpeckerBench,RazorSlicesBench -Connections 64,256 -Runs 5

AspNetMvcBench benchmarks ASP.NET Core MVC, and AspNetRazorPages benchmarks ASP.NET Core Razor Pages. Like the other apps, both serve a “Hello World!” page with the current UTC time at /. Their publish trimming is disabled because ASP.NET Core MVC and Razor Pages do not support trimming.

The Giraffe apps render their templates with Giraffe.ViewEngine, Oxpecker uses Oxpecker.ViewEngine, and Frank uses Falco.Markup.

Results are saved under results\<timestamp>\. The script prints the full paths to summary.md and summary.json; each measured run also has a raw <app>-c<connections>-run<run>.json file for GET /, or <app>-text-c<connections>-run<run>.json and <app>-json-c<connections>-run<run>.json for GET /text and GET /json. All three scenarios run for every selected app and connection count. GiraffeEndpointsBench is excluded until its endpoints are updated. The Markdown summary groups results by connection count and separates throughput and latency from resources and response counts for readability.

For a quick, non-persistent run, use -Mini. It runs 64 connections for one 10-second measurement after a five-second warmup, waits one second for idle memory, and prints the summary without creating files under results\.

To verify that the selected apps can be built/published without starting them or running a load test, use -BuildOnly. This does not require bombardier and does not create benchmark result files:

.\scripts\RunBenchmarks.ps1 -BuildOnly

The script rebuilds selected apps under build\. It runs the load generator locally, so the results also reflect contention for local resources.
