Since its launch, Bun has emerged as a promising solution for developers seeking to optimize the performance of their JavaScript applications. Recently, there has been growing interest in utilizing the Bun runtime in production environments.
With this in mind, conducting a hands-on examination to assess the advantages of using Bun now seems good. Today, we'll use a straightforward load-testing experiment to compare the performance of an Express.js API running on two distinct JavaScript runtimes: Node.js and Bun.
Our analysis will center around the performance evaluation of an endpoint tasked with calculating Fibonacci numbers under load conditions.
Let's dive in!
