Fresh #gRPC benchmarks just dropped (Apr 2026) and the results are 🌶️ # 1 CPU: #Rust Tonic dominates at 102K req/s using just 15 MiB RAM # 2-4 CPUs: #Java Vert.x takes the crown at 153K req/s... but needs 305 MiB to do it Meanwhile Rust Thruster does 139K req/s on 12 MiB. That's 25x less memory than Java. #dotNET quietly sitting at #4-#8 across all configs. No hype, just solid numbers. The boring enterprise choice... that keeps winning. Scala Pekko & Akka? Surprise top-5 finishers at 3-4 CPUs. JVM tuning is real. Now let's talk about the bottom of the chart: - #Python: 4,492 req/s (1 CPU) - #Node: 12,471 req/s (1 CPU) That's 23x slower than Rust. Node doesn't even scale past 1 CPU — 16K req/s whether you give it 1 or 4 cores 💀 But sure, "developer productivity" even when it is AI generating code these days... 🫠 Full results → github.com/LesnyRumcajs/g…
