So I guess the package `brahma-firelight` is the core idea behind this? But why in the repo[0], you uploaded those `.node` files instead of the source code + building scripts? Also your source code `brahma.js` looks like generated from `@napi-rs/cli`. Because recently I'm trying to build rolldown and next.js for msys2 platforms, and I'm certain this line[1] of code won't work in some cases.

Show HN: Created a Node.js's addon that can handle 1M req/s

I’ve been experimenting with building a Node.js HTTP framework using Rust + Hyper with N-Api. The project started as a fully synchronous server, but I recently patched it to support async (Tokio/Hyper). That change alone nearly doubled throughput in benchmarks. What’s different: * Built directly on Hyper, no heavy abstraction * napi glue for Node.js bindings * Minimal core (sync and async engines side-by-side) * Focused on raw performance, not plugins (yet) This is still experimental and not production-ready. I’d like feedback on: * Async API design — does it feel ergonomic? * Middleware style — what patterns should be supported? Repo: [https://github.com/Shyam20001/rsjs](https://github.com/Shyam20001/rsjs) Full benchmarks: [https://shyam20001.github.io/rsjs/](https://shyam20001.github.io/rsjs/)

I built Brahma-JS to bridge the gap between Rust's performance and the ease of JavaScript. It's an ultra-low latency runtime written in Rust on top of Tokio and Hyper. The idea is to give developers a way to get Rust's speed and memory safety without having to rewrite their application logic. It's a plug-and-play engine that works across Node, Deno, and Bun. All the heavy lifting—like parsing request bodies and headers—happens in Rust. The benchmarks are promising: on a tiny AWS t2.micro instance, I hit 33.2k requests per second during a load test. I haven't shared the full codebase yet but will soon. You can find the repo here: https://github.com/Shyam20001/rsjs
