This changeset improves performance noticeable by skipping the
AccessLogHandler
if it writes to/dev/null
. This is commonly used when the access log is not needed, such as when running behind a reverse proxy or when benchmarking the raw application performance.This can be easily reproduced by running a benchmark against any of the examples like this:

This builds on top of the recent access log path additions from #247. In particular, this optimization works both when explicitly configured to log to
/dev/null
or when implicitly logging to console output that is piped to/dev/null
.This is a pure performance optimization that comes with 100% code coverage and does not otherwise affect the public API, so it should be safe to apply. This currently focuses on Unix-based platforms (Linux / Mac) as the main deployment target, but similar optimizations should be possible on Windows (using
nul
instead of/dev/null
).You're looking at several days worth of work, especially for testing this across multiple platforms. If you enjoy this change and want to help us continue to ship more improvements, consider supporting this project, for example by becoming a sponsor ❤️
