Hey, I'm curious what you are trying to measure in regards to Clojure. As far as I know there is not a single Web Server actually written in Clojure, they are all written in Java and we just use them. The Compojure benchmark you linked uses the default Jetty Adapter for Ring (like Rack in Ruby

Also note that Compojure (and Ring) applications are artificially limiting, because they cannot utilize the containers' full capabilities (Ring apps can't go async at the container level, they can't use NIO responses, etc). For these use-cases, you'll have to program directly to container

2015-04-22 Thread Jesper Louis Andersen
Hi, I'm trying to build up a different kind of web server framework benchmark, where measurement is not on peak performance, but on capacity and latency. That is, the numbers we keep stable are: * 10k connections * 30k req/s * 2053 bytes of static content served by a GET request on a simple
