What does HackerNews think of benchmarks?

supabase engineer here

would be happy to answer questions about load testing setup

here is the github repo[0] with an app that helps me launch terraforms and k6 and keep track of launches/results

A shoutout to Fastify[1] here. It has lived up to its claim of being one of the fastest Node frameworks from our initial benchmarking. We plan to add the benchmarking scripts to our benchmarking repo[2] soon.

The entire Fastify ecosystem (and associated modules like pino) has a focus on performance which is great. For example, the file-handling middleware[3] uses Node streams by default, instead of buffering files in memory. This made it easy to use streams across our entire codebase. Besides performance, this keeps the footprint small which ensures consistent performance even for users on our smallest server configuration.

Hey everyone! We put a lot of work over the last few months into performance benchmarking. We're very keen for people to run the benchmarks themselves and report your results: https://github.com/supabase/benchmarks

Hey HN, Supabase is an open source Firebase alternative. We're building the features of Firebase using enterprise-grade open source tools. We're particularly focused on scalability. We take proven tools like Postgres, and we make them as easy to use as Firebase.

Supabase had an Alpha launch [1] six months ago. This time we're more stable and feature-full. For the past 2 months we've run benchmarks [2] and security audits and we're confident to take on production workloads.

Our current feature-set includes a realtime engine [3] on top of Postgres, auto-generated APIs using PostgREST [4], and Auth with Row Level Security, OAuth, and magic links [5] . We have a full dashboard, with built-in SQL Editor (full Monaco editor) and a Table View (like Airtable) [6].

Next we are focused Storage & Functions, as well as the local development experience - making sure developers can go quickly from dev to prod.

A few of the team will be here to answer any questions - my cofounder @awalias and @steve-chavez from PostgREST, @inian, and @1_over_n
