Benchmarking Hono vs Express.js with a real world app
🚀 Hono vs Express.js – Real World Benchmarking! ⚡
Is Hono really faster than Express.js? Today, I’m running real-world benchmarks to find out — not just lab tests or cherry-picked routes. We’re going deep with 100 routes, Zod validation, and SQLite database operations to compare performance where it actually matters.
📊 In this video:
I break down the claims on the official Hono benchmarks
Build identical Express and Hono apps with realistic routing
Add Zod validation and database reads/writes
Benchmark using Autocannon with 100 concurrent connections
Compare requests per second across four realistic endpoints
Analyze the results in a Google Sheet side-by-side
Reveal the true performance gap between Hono and Express.js
🏁 Spoiler: Hono is faster... but is it 10x faster like they claim? Watch to find out.
🧪 Benchmark Details:
GET /hello – Simple response
GET /books – Zod-validated query with DB read
GET /books/:id – URL param with validation and DB read
POST /books – Validated input with DB write
All routes hidden behind 100 decoy routes to simulate production complexity
