Question

I was considering a fast-performing and scalable platform for high performance web application that also uses a database intensively. And it seemed to me that the natural approach is to pick some MVC framework like Rails, .NET MVC or Django. I’ve already had experience with both Rails and .NET but not with Python. And as far as my personal testing have shown C# with .NET MVC3 in most cases outperforms the Ruby on Rails 3 (for Rails I’ve used the unicorn and nginx for the http stuff). Anyone have some observations on that, or was my tests incorrectly held? Any examples with numbers and explanations would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Answer 1

At least in terms of Rails vs Django it clearly looks like the latter IS faster, according to these benchmarks

With ASP.NET MVC it looks more like there is some kind of conspiracy so no one actually tries to benchmark it 🙂
