High-throughput Go Framework Benchmarks: Gin, Fiber, Kratos
High-throughput Go Framework Benchmarks: Gin, Fiber, Kratos Answer-first: Fiber and Gin are high-performance Go web frameworks with distinct architectures: Fiber uses fasthttp and sync.Pool memory pooling to achieve zero-allocation HTTP throughput (85,200 TPS), while Gin uses standard net/http (42,500 TPS) for complete ecosystem compatibility, native HTTP/2, and standard Go context safety without concurrent buffer reuse risks. The Testing Methodology (Beyond Hello World) We set up our benchmark tests on standard AWS hardware using a c6i.2xlarge instance (8 vCPUs, 16 GiB RAM) running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Both the testing client and the server running the Go application were placed in the same VPC to completely minimize any margin of error caused by physical network latency. ...
