Quarkus (Java) vs Fiber (Go): Performance Benchmark in Kubernetes

[@ooijaz6063]

Are you sure that both apps are using same amount of connections in pool? Connection pool often makes most of the performance diff in this kind of benchmark. Quarkus defaults to 20 concurrent connections, and pgpool to 4 or runtime.NumCPU() from what I have read. Have you check performance for more than 20 connections in a pool?

[@AntonPutra]

@@ooijaz6063 I used the defaults, but for the next tests, I'll double-check how many connections are actually opened on the PostgreSQL side.

This second test scenario is absolute perfection in testing real world applications. It's easy to get excited about a performance difference of like 400% (for example) in a synthetic benchmark, but by including database, storage and (de)serializing, it gives a much more nuanced picture of how it would actually scale and perform. In this case I would say both applications performed well and comparable. I'd be interested in a bit of a deeper dive in these applications by including opentelemetry and seeing what functions might bottleneck.

[@AntonPutra]

Thanks. Well, in some tests, I used OpenTelemetry clients with this Prometheus client in both Go and Java. I'm wondering what else you would instrument besides these function calls to S3 and the database.

[@oleksandrkovtunov]

The explanation why java reduces memory usage is pretty simple: gc

[@framegrace1]

Go has gc too... The explanation is because java uses a fixed heap. Normal java reserves the memory from the system upfront and you will see no change for all the run. The Quarkus optimizations makes the internal HEAP metrics visible to K8s. But the particularities of java are still visible in those behaviours as defaulting to reserve a lot of memory upfront.

[@oleksandrkovtunov]

@@framegrace1 the java GC could be different at different jvm implementations. But basically it works by simple principle. The jvm perform gc then it see that heap is overused. It based on heap limit. So, in this case jvm application started and used some heap. The heap usage isn't reached the GC limit - so don't need to perform gc. When traffic comes to jvm application - it increases the count of created objects and as consequence - increased heap usage. And when heap usage limit is reached then jvm perform gc and all objects created at start of application has been deleted. I don't know how GO gc works and looks like it has partially different implementation.

[@jordanrothschild8310]

Great video! The test seems a bit unfair to Java, as much of the time was likely spent serializing JSON, which can vary significantly based on the library used. It would be interesting to see results with a more complex application that uses intricate data structures, as Go’s garbage collector introduces pauses and latency, while Java is known for its efficiency in these scenarios. Now, on the topic of environments and the test setup, I have a few questions. Is it statistically valid to compare a test run on Kubernetes with minimal requests? For the comparison to hold up with few requests, each application's runtime environment would need to be exactly the same, which can be difficult to guarantee given the cluster load and where each pod is deployed. It might actually be easier to run the test on your local machine, where you can control the resource allocation. However, I noticed you’re using a Mac, so factors like virtualization might make the results diverge even further from what you’d see in a production environment

[@phyohtetpaing44]

There was a non-blocking Netty server implemented with Spring Reactive Web, which is more efficient. for databae approach use R2DBC the reactive nonblocking data repository. btw spring also support graalvm and it is not outdated.

Nice video. One comment. Scale up/down is increase or decrease the machine resources like CPU and memory. Scale in/out y horizontal scaling ;)

[@yuryburkouski]

good test after previous tries ;) but I would not accentuate memory consumption at the start of compiled java, as it does not affect anything. Also it looks like cpu doesn't do anything, so no reason to seriously compare 3% with 5%. But latency values are valuable! PS: looking at the low cpu consumption test I got an idea to test cpu intensive application. Try to create something like a redis (hashmap is fast, lets use treemap and its concurrent versions), the app will add, update and get some data, for example count of values that are greater than received in a controller. PPS: interesting to see how regular java 21 works with virtual threads, but I heard that java file io on linux is synchronous and only 22 will be modern, so it could be a reason why you got these values in the current test. Also testing regular java in a container is tricky, it’s better to test different Xmx-Xms values first, I mean starting java under the memory limit of 500mb is not the same as with 2000mb (so using compiled java leaves that headache, but compiled has lower throughput and latency :) )

[@robertomoreno7906]

Nice comparison! Though I wouldn't ever compare Go vs Java native for long time runners as this one. It is true that the metrics of java at startup time would be much (much) worst but bear in mind that java has been built thinking in the startup as an edge case scenario and the JVM does a lot optimisations while the program is running, it would be interesting if java is able to beat Go in the long run. In the short run I think that there is no possible discussion and Java Native is just a work around.

Test: Generate a random Int value from 1 to 1million and find the Person object (by ID) using the random generated Int, and get the Name, then find the object in the list (by Name) compare and validate both ID match 2- Sorting Algorithms (sort the entire 1 million object (person) by name. 3 - File I/O Operations - generate random Int value from 1 to 1 million, find the Person in the List, write the Person's name to the first line in a file, if file already contains a line replace with the new name.

I had to manually write all those functionalities in go Lang due to lack of autoconfiguration and libraries

So far I couldn't convince anyone at our company to try out Quarkus. Just a question out of interest: Are you going to create a benchmark framework where similar tasks are done by various language implementations and then release your findings to the public? I just stumbled across an other video and then this one was recommended to me, and to me it looks like your videos basically doing that but just with a smaller and more comprehensible scope.

Great job! But a few comments: Spring supports building native images as well, and they have maven/gradle plugins and a dedicated project Spring Native for this case. Actually, we are using it in production and building most of the Spring apps in native images. Summary: GO is faster, then JVM based stuff, well no surprise here :) In general, Quarkus doesn't give anything interesting compared to Spring, it's just a bit more modern and doesn't have much legacy stuff. What might be interesting to look at in this regard is Micronaout, because it does a fundamentally different Framework (compile-time and supports native images out of the box in comparison with runtime Spring with additional projects and layers for native support). Most likely Micronaout will show similar to GO numbers.

thanks! it's just open source and i actually have dedicated youtube tutorials how to measure, cpu/memory/vpc etc.. here is a dashboard and promql queries for this specific video - github.com/antonputra/tutorials/blob/main/lessons/201/dashboard.json java metrics - github.com/antonputra/tutorials/blob/main/lessons/201/java-app/src/main/java/com/antonputra/ImageResource.java#L51-L59 golang metrics - github.com/antonputra/tutorials/blob/main/lessons/201/go-app/metrics.go#L13-L27

@@AntonPutra is there any reason to prefer summary over histogram? And can you please share the link for your measure tutorials? Thanks a lot!

[@AntonPutra]

@@LawZist use summary in edge cases when you have a single instance of the app and you can only scale vertically, cause it's not possible to aggregate them over multiple instances, for example to get p90 percentile for 5 replicas of your app. With summary prometheus compute p90 on the client itself. Use histogram in all other cases kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYalm5-Ar65ll5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJupd619e96Jors kzbin.info/www/bejne/mn7GkmegfcaZqpo kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJfCiXujbpuDgbM

Why does Java's memory usage is high when it is idle? Also will it also go high when it is idle after processing requests?

[@S4ntia60]

JIT optimization are taken out in quarkus graalVM builds for obvious reasons. While the benefits of being lower level from Graal are great, JIT optimizations are not to be underestimated and they start to trigger later on the execution so they will be less visible at first

[@AntonPutra]

ok, i was thinking of comparing them directly

[@dukim632]

this is a great video! tnx!

[@AntonPutra]

my pleasure!!

Java runtimes were historically designed to consume the resources of the whole VM so may be you can compare a Java app running on a JVM (not a native image but a hotspot JVM) on a VM with 4 cores and 4 GB RAM vs a go app running on Kubernetes using that same VM

[@ZzooD]

It would be interesting to see a test to failure, who and under what load will start throttling

[@AntonPutra]

yes will do with improved java next time

[@esatozturk5439]

Perfect work 👍

[@AntonPutra]

thank you!❤️

[@kawin-vir]

Would be nice to see Go (Fiber) vs Bun (Elysia)

[@AntonPutra]

ok noted!

[@sarabwt]

It would be interesting if you compare go vs java non native, as non native should have better performance than native. You compile java to native only if you are building a CLI or a lambda, when you need fast startup.

[@AntonPutra]

ok noted!

[@Sasha192_]

Please make a comparison for Java Vert.x vs Golang Fiber

[@AntonPutra]

added!

[@bibahbibah5108]

i wona see spring boot native image vs Quarkus vs go spring native is framework like Quarkus so it's nice to compare this 2 framework

[@AntonPutra]

ok noted!

[@vivekchaudhary5728]

can you please do a GO vs node.js Lambda testing? with cold start time, memory usage and other metrics

[@AntonPutra]

ok i already have some lambda benchmarks in that playlist but i'll refresh it soon

[@muray82]

It would be good to change a bit what the application is doing. In our company we have a piece of code that is meant to validate if we don't have any delays in network stack. To do so we tell the app to generate random 1000 bytes and sent that to client. With that nothing is cached.

Please make a tutorial on Golang.

[@AntonPutra]

i have couple... How to Monitor/Instrument Golang with Prometheus (Counter - Gauge - Histogram - Summary) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYalm5-Ar65ll5I OpenTelemetry Golang Tutorial (Tracing in Grafana & Kubernetes & Tempo) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHqxaHtmZdqfh9k

[@RiccardoPasquini]

I would also compare compile time of quarkus native and go executables....

[@AntonPutra]

ok noted

[@antonkuranov]

Java native images give slower performance at runtime than normal jars because of the lack of hotspot optimizations at runtime. To achieve a similar performance it should be optimized through a previous profiling process.

[@AntonPutra]

Thanks for the feedback, someone already mentioned that. I'll run some tests in the near future

[@rolandbayor4444]

I run some tests a while ago just benchmarking algorithms with different languages. To my surprise Java always run them faster than GO

[@AntonPutra]

Well, when you deploy to Kubernetes, you have cgroups and other constraints that could affect performance. But as soon as I find a use case where Java performs better, I'll make an updated video-maybe something like a Kafka consumer/producer data pipeline. I'll see.

[@adesopekingsley9967]

I subscribed...❤

[@AntonPutra]

thank you!

[@k1zmt]

It would be interesting to add C, Rust, NodeJS and Python to the mix.

[@Petoj87]

c# vs java would be nice :) as they both use byte code, JIT and GC :)

[@miguelalzate4850]

I would like a test that includes all programming languages up to now and allows for ranking them.

[@AntonPutra]

there are a lot of variables especially in the cloud, noise neighbors etc so it would be hard to compare all of them...

[@BroddeB]

I guess the latency peaks in the database graph is caused by the garbage collection overhead. Is golangs garbage collection implementation that much better? Is the p90 statistics hiding some latency spikes?

[@AntonPutra]

yes, actually, there is a huge difference between p90 and p99
