This project is meant to compare Node.js and ASP.NET Core in a more real-world scenario where they must implement a modern REST API (C# must use reflection to do this, in my experience) and handle JSON serialization.
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5250U CPU @ 1.60GHz
16GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit
These results were gathered using wrk.
The following results seem to corroborate the general benchmarks available via various sources. ASP.NET Core remains faster despite the overhead of reflection.
