Average RPS: 7692 requests

AMQP has at least 5.5x of the performance of Http implementation

Run it yourself

I spun up a temporary ec2 instance for easier testing, it contains a RabbitMQ installation and the Http wrapper implemented in Go. The hostname is: ec2-52-29-1-55.eu-central-1.compute.amazonaws.com

You need to clone this repo, run the following three commands:

• php http.php 30000
• php amqp.php 30000
• php amqp-native.php 30000 (You need to install the pecl amqp extension)

Golang Server

This is a very stripped down version of the HTTP wrapper, things that would definitly decrease performance further are:

1. Auth Layer (Is automatically handled by RabbitMQ in the case of AMQP)
2. More Latency; Http Wrapper and the RabbitMQ would be in a different servers.
3. More Latency; In case of a loadbalancer or a reverse proxy in front of the wrapper
