v0.1.207

RustAPI Release History

v0.1.202 - Performance Revolution (2026-01-26)

🚀 Performance Improvements

This release delivers a 12x performance improvement, bringing RustAPI from ~8K req/s to ~92K req/s - now within striking distance of Actix-web.

Benchmark Results

Framework	Requests/sec	Latency (avg)
RustAPI	~92,000	~1.1ms
Actix-web 4	~105,000	~0.95ms
Axum	~100,000	~1.0ms

Tested with hey -n 100000 -c 100 on Windows 11, Ryzen 7 4800H

✨ Server Optimizations

• TCP_NODELAY: Disabled Nagle's algorithm for lower latency
• Pipeline Flush: Enabled HTTP/1.1 pipeline flushing for better throughput
• ConnectionService: Reduced Arc cloning overhead per connection
• HandleRequestFuture: Custom future implementation for request handling
• Ultra-Fast Path: New routing path that bypasses both middleware AND interceptors for maximum performance

📦 JSON Optimizations

• simd-json Serialization: Extended simd-json support from parsing-only to full serialization
• Added to_vec and to_vec_with_capacity using simd-json when feature is enabled

Performance Roadmap

For planned optimizations to reach and exceed Actix performance.

Target: 105-115K req/s through:

• Stack-allocated futures (remove Box::pin)
• Zero-copy path handling
• Pre-compiled middleware stack
• Response header pooling
