nodejs-package-benchmark

This package allows you to benchmark different runtimes using popular packages operations.

Supported packages

• [x] fastify - Temporary disabled.
• [x] lodash
• [x] prettier
• [x] babel
• [x] moment
• [x] dotenv
• [x] pinojs
• [x] winston
• [x] underscore

Install

npm i -g nodejs-package-benchmark

Comparison

To compare binaries, you can use the bench-it script.

Syntax: bench-it $BINARY ["baseline"]

This script allows you to compare the performance of binaries. If it's your first run, you need to generate the baseline data using:

$ bench-it ./node baseline

To compare subsequent runs, simply omit the "baseline" option:

$ bench-it ./node

[!TIP] It's recommended to have colordiff installed for a clearer comparison of differences.

Single run

To a pretty terminal output, run index.js

$ node index.js
