TechEmpower just posted Round #20 of their Web Framework benchmarks and Lucky Framework (that runs on Crystal Language) is in it, thanks to work done by @matthewmcgarvey (Great job on the benchmark!).
Pretty solid result! Especially if you only consider "Full-stack" frameworks and not micro-stuff.
- In the Crystal-land Lucky is near the top. And in non-crystal-land too.
- The main speed-competitor in Crystal-land is Raze framework( which has been retired). Lucky's speed is comparable to most other Crystal frameworks: Kemal, Spider-Gazelle, Onyx & Amber (all did pretty well on speed thanks to Crystal 😄 )
- The most important comparison for me is against true full-featured frameworks like Rails, Hanami, Phoenix, Django, Symphony, Grails, Spring, Prologue, etc. And Lucky is doing really well there
If you go to the main page, there are ~250 benchmark results for every web-framework under the sun. However, that's too many results for my taste 😄 i.e. things like "h2o.cr" on the list are too purpose specific for me or anything I would do in a normal course of things, developing an enterprise or user-facing web application.
I'm currently considering a Full-Stack Framework for a small web-based enterprise-type project and deciding between Phoenix, Lucky & Rails. Each has its own strengths for my use-case. So this particular comparison is more of an interest to me, based on frameworks & languages that I've had exposure to or would even consider for such an application. Take a look at the benchmark, and I hope you give Lucky Framework a spin.
Disclaimer:
Take these benchmarks with a grain of salt.
- Not all frameworks that are on the list are properly optimized.
- Speed is only one aspect that should be under consideration
- Ecosystem, dev experience and productivity are all more important than speed in most cases.
- Having said that ⬆️, Lucky ticks all 3 boxes for me.

Thanks for the writeup! We hope to keep that momentum going, and see it get faster and better over time.
No, thank you! 😃
