I have a dumb question ...

In almost all performance areas -- gaming, PCs, autos, etc -- there are usually whole publications dedicated to performing benchmarks and publishing those results.

Are there any publications or sites which implement a few basic applications against various new-this-season "full stacks" or whatnot, and document performance numbers and limit-thresholds on different hardware?

Likewise, there must be stress-test frameworks out there. Are there stress-test and scalability-test third-party services?

Fossil SCM is a great example of a sqlite application that has stood the test of time. I don't know what sqlite.org's traffic is like, but it's not tiny and it runs on a tiny VPS without issue(and has for years now).

TechEmpower has benchmarks for different web stacks: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/

Unfortunately TE is highly gamified, and the benchmarks (like most benchmarks!) don't really represent real-world workloads.

True, but it's great that they have a certain comparable hello-world set, so you can just take the 2-n benchmarks for the tech you're interested in and either ungamify it or just implement your own prototype and measure. The benefit of already having a non-random-tutorial-from-google app is a huge win to me personally.
