FastAPI vs Fastify vs Hono.js

This is a benchmark test of these "Fast" backend frameworks to see which one can handle the most requests per second using AutoCannon.

📋 Requirements

• Node.js v22.12.0 or above.
• Python 3.13.0 or above and Jupyter Notebook.
• Docker CLI.

💻 Local Setup

1. Install Node.js dev-dependencies using

   npm install

2. Install Python matplotlib and numpy dependencies using:

   pip install matplotlib numpy

📊 Benchmarking

1. Start fastapi, fastify, hono, and mongodb containers by opening a new terminal tab at the root directory and running:

   npm start

2. Check if everything is running correctly using:

   npm run test

3. Start benchmarking by running:

   npm run benchmark
