Or the second version, with more frameworks: https://github.com/mroth/phoenix-showdown/blob/master/RESULT... I note with interest that the two frameworks which are faster than Phoenix (in both throughput and latency) are Gin, written in Go, and Play, written in Scala. In this run of the benchmark, they also have more consistent latency than Phoenix, although the author notes a suspected problem with his Erlang installation; previous runs had consistency better than Play, but still not as good as Gin. I note with amusement that: > Play consistently appeared to generate hundreds of socket read errors (see the detailed output), so I believe it should probably be semi-disqualified from the results for now. I'd be interested to see another JVM framework tested. Play is really rather complicated, and it's written in Scala, which is also rather
