Microservices Kotlin Benchmark: coroutines, virtual threads... the Match!

on YouTube ↗46m

" summary

Compares performance of Kotlin/JVM microservice approaches by benchmarking gRPC versus HTTP and coroutines versus platform threads versus virtual threads. Tests include setups like gRPC+coroutines with Armeria, HTTP on Helidon with virtual threads, gRPC on Netty with virtual threads, and Undertow http4k on platform threads, with live demos and results run on a Google Cloud Kubernetes cluster.
