A question about Http4s new major version

1. scala-http-benchmark

   1 2 14 4.7 Scala

   

   So my question is - why does http4s have already ~3 years of development time for its 1.0 version? Also bonus question - why does it have such a poor performance in these benchmarks? I know that those aren't everything but the difference is very huge and I would like to know if there is a post or comment somewhere(or anything) from a person that did a deep dive into it and could explain why the performance is what it is. Also, can anyone share an experience of using http4s in a prod environment? What are the specs of vm it needs to handle 1000 rps?

3. async-profiler

   You can use async-profiler to see what is happening under the hood.

4. cats-effect

   3 35 2,115 9.8 Scala

   The pure asynchronous runtime for Scala

   

   Those benchmarks are using a snapshot version of cats-effect. I don't know where that one comes from, but previously they were using a snapshot from https://github.com/typelevel/cats-effect/pull/3332 which had some issues (3.5-6581dc4, 70% performance degradation), which have since been resolved (see that PR for more info and comparative benchmarks).
