Honestly, this is an area where the op would be far better served by using go/rust/c++ or another backend language. Can launch a server with microsecond latency, and if it grows get good elastic behavior. No awkward route precompilation or thirty minute build times... Julia sure is neat, but this isn't an area where it's strong.

I do webdev in Go, and freely recompile as it takes a second or less on my hardware which consists of a rock, a rubber band and two sesame seeds on 20x2 liquid crystal. Its no struggle to recompile 100x in a day just iterating.

microsecond latency? on what exact hardware are you seeing that?

[abstracto]

That was a somewhat hyperbolic statement. Make an application in node, genie, and rusts actix. Run them and see how fast it takes for the cli to load each of them. Feel free to package compiler the Julia one if you want. It's a good experiment with visual results.

Must be new M1 Ultra or something.

P50 for basic routes using other web frameworks can be sub 0.5 ms. See the techempower benchmarks. These benchmarks are somewhat flawed, but I'd be surprised if genie was faster then flask all around, and flask is widely considered expensively slow.

0.5 ms is 500 times longer than the comment above, though
