Scala web framework benchmarks: performance comparison
The fastest Scala web framework in HttpArena is http4s, with a composite of 1158 on HTTP/1.1 — 60 of 71 against every language in its league. Measured over Alpha Round, every entry on the same machine.
Every Scala entry in the benchmark, compared on the composite score of each family. The composite sums a normalized score over the profiles of that family, where the leader of each profile scores 100, and scales the sum by the entry's completeness factor. Rank overall is the entry's place in its own league across all languages; rank among Scala narrows the same field to this language. Both link through to the board view they were taken in. How the score works.

Questions
What is the fastest Scala web framework?
http4s leads the Scala entries in HttpArena with a composite score of 1158 on HTTP/1.1, measured over Alpha Round. The composite sums a normalized score across the profiles of a family, where the leader of each profile scores 100. Against every language, http4s ranks 60 of 71 in its own league.
How many Scala web frameworks are benchmarked?
1 Scala entry is measured, covering HTTP/1.1. Every one runs on the same machine, in the same round (Alpha Round), against the same profiles.
Is Scala fast for web servers?
The quickest Scala entry, http4s, places 60 of 71 on HTTP/1.1 across every language in its league, so that placing is the honest answer for Scala at its best rather than for Scala in general. The tables below show the spread across all 1 entry.
