After my original post, the Hacker News community helped me identify critical issues with my benchmarking approach. Here's what I learned:
The Problem:
I used autocannon for benchmarking, which can't handle Bun.serve speeds (as pointed out by Elysia's maintainer)
Made exaggerated performance claims
Had security vulnerabilities in JWT implementation
The Fix:
Switched to oha for accurate benchmarks: 21,748 req/s (placing PrinceJS among top 3 Bun frameworks)
Fixed all security issues
Removed "fastest" claims, now positioning honestly as competitive
Technical Details:
Real oha results: Elysia (25,312), Hono (22,124), PrinceJS (21,748), Express (9,325)
Running on Windows 10 with: oha -c 100 -z 30s
Next step: Cloud VM testing for consistent, reproducible benchmarks
The framework is now more honest about its capabilities while still delivering competitive performance. Lesson learned: accuracy and security matter more than impressive numbers.
