A 2025 benchmark of main Web API frameworks

This is a 2025 update from previous 2024 benchmark.

The contenders #

Framework & Source code	Runtime	ORM
Laravel 12 (api / image)	FrankenPHP 8.4	Eloquent
Symfony 7.2 (api / image)	FrankenPHP 8.4	Doctrine
FastAPI (api / image)	Python 3.13 (asyncio)	SQLAlchemy 2.0 (asyncio)
NestJS 11 (api / image)	Node 22	Prisma 6
Spring Boot 3.4 (api / image)	Java 21	Hibernate 6
ASP.NET Core 9 (api / image)	.NET 9.0	EF Core 9

The Swarm cluster for testing #

flowchart TD client((k6)) client -- Port 80 443 --> traefik-01 subgraph manager-01 traefik-01{Traefik SSL} end subgraph worker-01 app-01([Conduit replica 1]) traefik-01 --> app-01 end subgraph worker-02 app-02([Conduit replica 2]) traefik-01 --> app-02 end subgraph storage-01 DB[(PostgreSQL)] app-01 --> DB app-02 --> DB end

Here is the complete terraform swarm bootstrap if you want to reproduce the same setup.

The k6 scenarios #

Scenario 1 - Database intensive #

import http from "k6/http";
import { check } from "k6";

export const options = {
    scenarios: {
        articles: {
            env: { CONDUIT_URL: '<framework_url>' },
            duration: '1m',
            executor: 'constant-arrival-rate',
            rate: '<rate>',
            timeUnit: '1s',
            preAllocatedVUs: 50,
        },
    },
};

export default function () {
    const apiUrl = `https://${__ENV.CONDUIT_URL}/api`;

    const limit = 10;
    let offset = 0;

    let articles = []

    do {
        const articlesResponse = http.get(`${apiUrl}/articles?limit=${limit}&offset=${offset}`);
        check(articlesResponse, {
            "status is 200": (r) => r.status == 200,
        });

        articles = articlesResponse.json().articles;

        offset += limit;
    }
    while (articles && articles.length >= limit);
}

The expected pseudocode SQL queries to build this response:

SELECT * FROM articles LIMIT 10 OFFSET 0;
SELECT count(*) FROM articles;
SELECT * FROM users WHERE id IN (<articles.author_id...>);
SELECT * FROM article_tag WHERE article_id IN (<articles.id...>);
SELECT * FROM favorites WHERE article_id IN (<articles.id...>);

Scenario 2 - Runtime intensive #

import http from "k6/http";
import { check } from "k6";

export const options = {
    scenarios: {
        articles: {
            env: { CONDUIT_URL: '<framework_url>' },
            duration: '1m',
            executor: 'constant-arrival-rate',
            rate: '<rate>',
            timeUnit: '1s',
            preAllocatedVUs: 50,
        },
    },
};

export default function () {
    const apiUrl = `https://${__ENV.CONDUIT_URL}.sw.okami101.io/api`;

    const limit = 10;
    let offset = 0;

    const tagsResponse = http.get(`${apiUrl}/tags`);
    check(tagsResponse, {
        "status is 200": (r) => r.status == 200,
    });

    let articles = []

    do {
        const articlesResponse = http.get(`${apiUrl}/articles?limit=${limit}&offset=${offset}`);
        check(articlesResponse, {
            "status is 200": (r) => r.status == 200,
        });

        articles = articlesResponse.json().articles;

        for (let i = 0; i < articles.length; i++) {
            const article = articles[i];
            const articleResponse = http.get(`${apiUrl}/articles/${article.slug}`);
            check(articleResponse, {
                "status is 200": (r) => r.status == 200,
            });

            const commentsResponse = http.get(`${apiUrl}/articles/${article.slug}/comments`);
            check(commentsResponse, {
                "status is 200": (r) => r.status == 200,
            });

            const authorsResponse = http.get(`${apiUrl}/profiles/${article.author.username}`);
            check(authorsResponse, {
                "status is 200": (r) => r.status == 200,
            });
        }
        offset += limit;
    }
    while (articles && articles.length >= limit);
}

Huge gap in performance against Laravel Octane here, about twice better ! Without FrankenPHP, we were capping to previously about 300 req/s on Apache…
