Velociradix moves socket handling (<code>kqueue</code>/<code>epoll</code>), zero-copy HTTP parsing, and Radix Trie routing to native multi-threaded C++ background workers.</p> <h3> Benchmark Highlights (500k requests, HTTP pipelining): </h3> <ul> <li>🏎️ <strong>Pure C++ Engine:</strong> ~450,000 req/s</li> <li>⚡ <strong>JS / TS Multi-Thread:</strong> ~181,000 req/s</li> <li>🍃 <strong>JS Single-Thread (1 core):</strong> ~147,000 req/s (~3.5x faster than Express)</li> </ul> <h3> Key Features: </h3> <ul> <li>🛡️ <strong>Zero Runtime Dependencies:</strong> 0 external npm dependencies.</li> <li>🔄 <strong>Express Drop-in Replacement:</strong> Run existing Express apps/routers via <code>import express from 'velociradix/express'</code>.</li> <li>📁 <strong>File-Based Routing:</strong> Next.js-style automatic routes (<code>routes/users/[id].ts</code> ➔ <code>/users/:id</code>).</li> <li>🔋 <strong>36+ Built-in Middlewares:</strong> JWT auth, sliding-window rate limiter, session encryption, caching, CORS, and helmet out of the box.</li> <li>📊 <strong>Built-in Docs &amp; Live Metrics:</strong> Interactive Swagger UI, Postman v2.1 export, and live metrics dashboard without extra packages.</li> <li><p>📘 <strong>100% Strict TypeScript:</strong> Zero <code>any</code>.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Documentation &amp; Guides:</strong> <a href="https://moaaz-i.github.io/Velociradix" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://moaaz-i.github.io/Velociradix</a></p></li> <li><p><strong>GitHub Repository:</strong> <a href="https://github.com/Moaaz-i/Velociradix" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/Moaaz-i/Velociradix</a></p></li> </ul> <p>I would love to get your feedback, hear what you think of the architecture, and answer any questions!</p> node javascript webdev performance
