Today we're gonna benchmark nodejs/bin+uwebsocket with golang+nbio. The code is here, both taken from their own example. The benchmark plan is create 10k client/connection, send both text/binary string and receive back the from server and sleep for 1s,100ms,10ms or 1ms, the result is as expected:
go 1.20.5 nbio 1.3.16

First line until 4th line are with 1s, 100ms, 10ms, 1ms delay before next request. Since Golang/nbio is by default can utilize multi-core so can handle ~50 rps per client, while Bun/Nodejs 11-12 rps per client. If you found a bug, or want to contribute another language (or create better client, just create a pull request on the github link above.
