OCaml web framework benchmarks: performance comparison
The fastest OCaml web framework in HttpArena is araara, with a composite of 5547 on HTTP/1.1 — 11 of 79 against every language in its league. Measured over Alpha Round, every entry on the same machine.
Every OCaml entry in the benchmark, compared on the composite score of each family. The composite sums a normalized score over the profiles of that family, where the leader of each profile scores 100, and scales the sum by the entry's completeness factor. Rank overall is the entry's place in its own league across all languages; rank among OCaml narrows the same field to this language. Both link through to the board view they were taken in. How the score works.
