Ask HN: What back end can provide noticeable performance improvement over Rails?
Hi, pretty much the subj.
What backend framework / technology, if any would provide a noticeable performance in loading / response times over latest Rails?
Provided that:
1) Rails project is fairly optimized (Pagespeed 90+ etc.).
2) No particular requirements, such as an extreme concurrency (not trying to replicate Discord etc.) or extra-large downloads or video streaming / video chat / deep learning, just a very fast website with a database and a backend that serves it.
- smt88 7y agoA lot of the speed will be dependent on your ability to cache and your implementation of caching. After that, your speed will likely have more to do with your HTML/CSS/JS than your back end. But, generally speaking, a compiled, static language like C# with .NET Core will be faster than Rails. I don't have personal experience with them, but Rust, most JVM languages (e.g. Java, Scala, or Kotlin), and F# should also be faster. Again, a lot depends on your specific code.
