I'm sure this is great software and as quick as anyone needs, but their empty body plaintext benchmark leaves a bad taste. It's not just that with an empty body the results are even less relevant than typical "Hello World" benchmarks. It's the other frameworks that they picked:

In their own benchmark, Vapor is about as quick Gin, written in Go.

Looking at Techempower's latest web framework comparison [0], we see that Gin reaches only 27% the requests per second of the quickest tested framework, and 28% of the quickest framework written in Go.

To be fair, the entry for Go that is 3x faster than Gin isn't a framework, it's just an http handling library. But it's clear their benchmarks are not complete enough to be useful; it's unfortunate that Techempower's vapor tests are broken.
27% in that test is pretty good, though. That's 750K requests per second.

That test says nothing about real world performance though, that's true. The db read and write benchmarks are more useful.
