PocketBase test application with various benchmarks (by pocketbase)

Project mention: Soul: A SQLite REST and Realtime Server | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-19

Hi, PocketBase author here.
Keep in mind that PocketBase do a lot more than just executing a raw DB query. We perform data validation, normalization, serialization, enriching, auto fail-retry to handle additional SQLITE_BUSY errors, etc. All of this comes with some cost and will always have an effect when doing microbenchmarks like this.
The performance would also depend on what version of PocketBase did you try, whether you used CGO or the pure Go driver, etc.
For a benchmark closer to a "real world" scenarios tested on various servers you can check the results from https://github.com/pocketbase/benchmarks.
There is definitely room for improvements (I haven't done any detailed profiling yet) but the current performance is "good enough" for the purposes the applications PocketBase is intended for (I've shared some numbers regarding a PocketBase app on production in https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/4254).
Hope the above helps.

Project mention: Reasons to Prefer Blake3 over Sha256 | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-13

At the end of the day, what matters really for most people is
1) Certifications (FIPS...)
2) Speed.
SHA-256 is fast enough for maybe 99,9% of use cases as you will saturate your I/O way before SHA-256 becomes your bottleneck[0][1]. Also, from my experience with the different available implementations, SHA-256 is up to 1.8 times faster than Blake3 on arm64.
