Fast
POST /validate — No artificial delay.
Tests raw request handling speed and framework overhead.
Compute Stable
GET /sqrt — Pure CPU work (always runs full iterations). Startup bench: 5 million iterations Load test: 200 million iterations
Compute Unstable
GET /sqrt — Pure CPU work (exits early when converged). Startup bench: 5 million iterations Load test: 200 million iterations
Real
POST /compute — Mixed CPU + I/O (6 sqrt calculations with delays). Startup bench: 100K iter × 6, 5ms delay → ~30ms total Load test: 500K iter × 6, 50ms delay → ~300ms total
