ado.net vs nodeJs

Recently I tentative started reading about nodeJs and despite it’s a new framework I’ve been excited of the ecosystem it already has. Isn’t hard to find of what you are looking for and the nodeJs.org itself is really helpful.

When I first saw nodeJs’ motto “Node.js is a platform built on Chrome’s JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications” I focused on “fast” and I immediately wanted to do some comparisons with .NET+IIS. 

For my comparison I used ab Apache Http Server benchmarking tool

I will come back soon with more results

Both of applications have identical pages. It is just 10000 list items that comes from mysql. In order to test only the application and not the database I am caching the results the first time they arrive.

for .net application I used v4.5 and MVC3 and for nodeJs I used sailsJs .
