Elixir: anàlisis i estudi del seu rendiment

Abstract

[en] Web applications designed to serve a large volume of users, implement backends capable of receiving and generating a large number of HTTP requests. The performance of this backend not only depends on the hardware used, but also a lot on the programming language with which it is implemented. When looking for performance comparisons between programming languages ​ on the Internet, you don't find much and many comparisons end up being partial. This work investigates the performance of various programming languages, when used to create a backend of a web application. The same backend has been implemented in Java, Python and Elixir, and load tests have been designed to measure the response of the backends. With the test results we were able to find out which programming language had the best response and know which is the best technology, among the 3 languages ​ chosen, for creating backends.
