Other runtime for ts api development

API Handler Performance Question

Current Implementation

According to a comment by Simon on dev.to:

Once the request has been fully processed and decoded, it gets handed over to the Node.js event-loop, and then takes the response from the API handler and writes it back to the client.

Based on this, it appears encore.ts utilizes Node.js for API handling after Rust completes the validation phase.

Performance Consideration

Would switching to alternative JavaScript runtimes like Deno or Bun potentially improve performance metrics, given their reported speed advantages over Node.js?

We plan on supporting both Deno and Bun in the future, but expect the real-world performance benefits to be very small as Encore.ts already outperforms both thanks to its Rust runtime.

Sounds promising! Thank you for your update.
