I was hesitant as to how much I should go into this because you get into the semantics of the benchmark but this [0] thread goes into why - that particular implementation doesn't behave the same way as the other implementations, it uses a different db driver that doesn't synchronise, which won't be allowed in the next version of the benchmarks. Techempower publish regular snapshots of their benchmarks at [1], and if you look at any of the snapshots that aren't the last published set where the discrepancy was fixed you'll see that all of the js implementations lag far far behind.

i'm sorry but this is not true. postgres pipelining is not allowed in the benchmarks any more, and even when it was, just-js was completely compliant with the rules and it was other C++, PHP, Rust and C# frameworks that were non compliant.

the postgres driver was rewritten in JS because i spent so long benchmarking using the pg C driver and couldn't get the performance i needed from it. if you actually read the github thread you can see i even did a lot of work to verify the various frameworks were compliant with the requirements.

in round 21, postgres pipelining was disallowed for all frameworks and just-js/JavaScript is in first place. \o/

Are you sure about your conclusion though? Apart from just-js missing in action in last 3 runs, here it's just fine

they upgraded postgres recently and it uses a different default authentication mechanism which broke just-js. they seem to have stopped doing runs right now so just-js should re-appear when they start again.
