Is AdonisJS fast?
When creating the framework or adding new features, we primarily focus on solving real-world problems rather than cutting down the functionality to make AdonisJS win the benchmark Olympics.
However, we look closer at the performance metrics and fine-tune the framework performance wherever it matters. For example:
- The AdonisJS HTTP server in standalone mode is on par with Fastify in performance.
- The validation layer of the framework outperforms other popular validation libraries in the Node.js ecosystem.
