Benchmarks
Benchmark Results
Short takeaways first, then links to the detailed local and Redis/hybrid result pages.
These benchmark pages are best read in two passes:
- read the takeaways here
- open the raw comparison pages when you want the tables
Main takeaways
- Local is the simplest and one of the fastest ways to enforce limits when one process owns the traffic.
- Redis is the most direct distributed mode, but it pays one Redis round-trip per call.
- Hybrid is the throughput leader for distributed use cases because most decisions stay on the local fast path.
- Cross-library comparisons are informative, but semantics differ, especially between sliding-window and GCRA-style approaches.
How to read the detailed pages
- Local Benchmark Comparison focuses on in-process throughput and hot-key versus broad-key behavior.
- Redis + Hybrid Benchmark Comparison shows the price of direct Redis I/O and the size of the hybrid fast-path advantage.
Environment note
These results were captured in a development environment, not a controlled lab. Use them to understand the shape of the trade-offs, then benchmark your own workload before locking in production expectations.
