actix

Flagship · Rust · standard configuration

Actix-web 4 with rustls for TLS. Standard configuration: actix-files serves static content from disk per request via try_compressed(), which selects a pre-compressed .br/.gz sibling by Accept-Encoding through the framework API (no hand-rolled suffix lookup); the Compress middleware compresses dynamic responses (json-comp) on-the-fly. deadpool-postgres for async DB pooling (sized from DATABASE_MAX_CONN); crud reads go through an in-memory cache-aside (X-Cache MISS/HIT, invalidated on update — no Redis required). json-tls is served over HTTP/1.1-with-TLS on :8081; baseline-h2/static-h2 over h2 on :8443. serde_json per request. Pinned to actix git main for try_compressed() (unreleased in actix-files 0.6.10). Compiled with -O3 and thin LTO.

Composite rank

Each profile of a family is worth 100 to the entry that leads it, and the composite is the sum over the family. The field is this entry's own league: engines and reverse proxies are scored apart from frameworks. How it works.

Family	Rank	Composite
HTTP/1.1	2 of 71	710
HTTP/2	2 of 16	223
WebSocket	5 of 20	146

Every result

Alpha Round, 38 runs. Requests per second is the best of three; latency, CPU and memory come from that run.
