    Yea, it is definitely a fake HTTP server which I acknowledge in the article [1]. However based on the size of the requests, and my observation of the number of packets per second being symmetrical at the network interface level, I didn't have a concern about doubled responses.

    Skipping the parsing of the HTTP requests definitely gives a performance boost, but for this comparison both sides got the same boost, so I didn't mind being less strict. Seastar's HTTP parser was being finicky, so I chose the easy route and just removed it from the equation.

    For reference though, in my previous post[2] libreactor was able to hit 1.2M req/s while fully parsing the HTTP requests using picohttpparser[3]. But that is still a very simple and highly optimized implementation. From what I recall when I played with disabling HTTP parsing in libreactor I got a performance boost of about 5%.

  • JS faster than Rust?

    Just-js is not nodejs framework. It's sperate runtime and most of the http code is written using c/c++ (for example headers parsing logic is written using c and is using https://github.com/h2o/picohttpparser which is c library)
