A field survey of server frameworks across
languages, scored across four axes that actually
decide a build: ease of setup, ease of deployment, raw speed,
and PostgreSQL compatibility. Opinionated, not synthetic. The numbers reflect
what it feels like to start, run, and live with each one.
Fastest to ship
Top raw throughput, /5 on speed
Easiest deploy
Lowest ops friction to production
Best with Postgres
Deepest, most ergonomic PG support
Highest composite
Best balance across all four axes
