in term of performance, which is better ? vertx-kotlin-lang + coroutines or ktor + netty ?

[davidasync]

but it doesn't explain vertx kotlin + coroutines and ktor netty + coroutines 🤔

I ve been trying to load test a basic web server using vegeta - tbh it’s nowhere near as good as those benchmarks claim

[davidasync]

@asad.awadia waw, oke thanks for the info

[asad.awadia]

Point being - do ur own load testing and see

[davidasync]

hmm I wonder, why developers are more interested to ktor project instead of vertx (shown by github star and community) 🤔

[asad.awadia]

Yeah I m curious too

[asad.awadia]

Vertx is definitely more popular in Europe than it is in NA

[asad.awadia]

I personally like vertx more than ktor

[janvladimirmostert]

@asad.awadia did you tune VertX? I've found that the default settings weren't great, after making some adjustments to the pool size, number of workers, etc, it sterted performing very well

[asad.awadia]

My thing was a basic web-server that returns 200 - would that need tuning too?

[janvladimirmostert]

If those were async requests, then probably not. Things like network settings could be playing a role here or even your firewall

that being said, there is an open issue in Ktor for having a Vert.x implementation to provide best of both worlds

so anyone here could contribute that and create great synergies between projects 🙂
