Benchmark

Compare repo between expressjs and nanoexpress (Pro) without any modification (out-of-the-box)

Usage

1. Install Debian or any Linux OS
2. Install wrk
3. Install docker, docker-compose and etc, configure it
4. Start test containers via docker-compose up -d and Test via wrk

Results

Almost 3-x faster than expressjs

INIT - Initial first build without any cache or buildkit optimizations

FCB - --build --force-recreate with Docker internal optimizations

B - --build only with Docker internal optimizations. Live-reload performance should around this
