#### Summary

* Time to complete the `5000000 requests` - smaller is better.
* Reqs/sec - bigger is better.
* Latency - smaller is better
* Throughput - bigger is better.
* Memory usage - smaller is better.
* LOC (Lines Of Code) - smaller is better.

.NET Core MVC Application, written using 86 lines of code, ran for **2 minutes and 3 seconds** serving **40226.03** requests per second within **3.09ms** latency in average and **169.12ms** max, the memory usage of all these was ~123MB (without the dotnet host).

Iris MVC Application, written using 27 lines of code, ran for **47 seconds** serving **105643.71** requests per second within **1.18ms** latency in average and **22.01ms** max, the memory usage of all these was ~12MB.

Iris Application, written using 22 lines of code, ran for **45 seconds** serving **110809.98** requests per second within **1.13ms** latency in average and **18.02ms** max, the memory usage of all these was ~11MB.

#### Update: 20 August 2017

As [Josh Clark](https://twitter.com/clarkis117) and [Scott Hanselman‏](https://twitter.com/shanselman)‏ pointed out [on this status](https://twitter.com/shanselman/status/899005786826788865), on .NET Core `Startup.cs` file the line with `services.AddMvc();` can be replaced with `services.AddMvcCore();`. I followed their helpful instructions and re-run the benchmarks. The article now contains the latest benchmark output for the .NET Core application with the change both Josh and Scott noted.

The twitter conversion: https://twitter.com/MakisMaropoulos/status/899113215895982080

For those who want to compare with the standard services.AddMvc(); you can see the old output by pressing [here](screens/500m_requests_netcore-mvc.png).

**Thank you all** for the 100% green feedback, have fun!
