Performance analysis of the GraphQL API creation technologies using Spring Boot and NestJS

Multitude of requirements for internet applications has led to creation of countless technologies. Goal of this article is to compare performance of server-side applications providing GraphQL API. Using frameworks NestJS and Spring Boot applications with the same business logic were created. Applications utilize the same data source - database "airport" developed for the experiment. In order to verify formulated hypotheses stress test was conducted. Each test set consisted of following number of requests: 1000, 2000, 4000. Tests showed that NestJS performance exceeds Spring Boot in GraphQL queries. However, GraphQL mutation results point out opposite.
