Test Profiles

HttpArena runs every framework through multiple benchmark profiles. Each profile isolates a different performance dimension, ensuring frameworks are compared fairly across varied workloads.

Each profile is run at multiple connection counts to show how frameworks scale under increasing concurrency:

Parameter	Value
Threads	12
Duration	5s
Runs	3 (best taken)
Networking	Docker `--network host`

HTTP/1.1

Baseline, short-lived connections, JSON processing, upload, compression, and pipelined benchmarks over plain TCP.

HTTP/2

Baseline and static file benchmarks over encrypted TLS connections with stream multiplexing.

HTTP/3

Baseline and static file benchmarks over QUIC for frameworks with native HTTP/3 support.
