You can't even do a syscall in 50ns.
Cloudflare's 5ms includes time to read the application code from disk. (I'm the one who originally did this measurement.)
- syrusakbary 3y agoHi Kenton! 50ns is the median time to initialize the Wasm module. I think it would make sense to do another round of measuring with more factors that test things end to end, and see how each of the platform performs. BTW, I'm a big admirer of Cloudflare Workers... great work!
