rari's Streaming TTFB is Now 11x Faster Than Next.js. First Content Still Ties.
I ran the /stream bench after official Fizz and an immediate HTML shell flush. The result: 1ms TTFB versus Next.js at 12ms, with first content and throughput still tied.
Thoughts on software engineering and performance
I ran the /stream bench after official Fizz and an immediate HTML shell flush. The result: 1ms TTFB versus Next.js at 12ms, with first content and throughput still tied.
I built rari.build using rari itself. The result: 0.12ms server-side processing, sub-500MB memory, and a server that handled the Hacker News front page without scaling up.
I added proper app router support, SSR capabilities, and correct RSC semantics to rari. Here's what I shipped and what it means for performance.
