Benchmarks

First, thanks contributors creating this awesome and useful framework for grpc.

Currently, there are several frameworks like nest.js, firecomm, condor... support grpc.

It is interested to know, is malijs performance closed to native @grpc/grpc-js?
Does anyone has benchmarks?

If Mali performamce is closed to native @grcp/grpc-js.
We will use it more confidently.

Hi,

Thank you for the issue. Even though we don't have an exact benchmark for Mali, with the recent optimizations in the last 2 versions of Mali, I can easily say that Mali is a performant grpc microservice framework. I would like to create a benchmark for these frameworks and compare them to Mali but unfortunately, I'll be moving to NYC and I'm swamped with personal issues.

It seems that Firecomm and Condor is outdated and abandoned. Since nest.js is not a gRPC framework it would be unnecessary to compare with Mali.

Thanks for your reply.
Maybe we can just compare mali with native @grpc/grpc-js.
We can provide some result & sample code here if we have free time.

Despite of the benchmarks I think its still better to use gRPC-js or malijs for backend to backend communication instead of REST. gRPC still outperforms for this.
