How fast is it, really? Let’s find out and keep track.
We benchmark LavinMQ to see how it performs under pressure. This page gives you the latest numbers, previous runs, our full test setup, and some honest thoughts on the limitations. The goal is to be transparent. So you can form your own opinion.

How we run the tests
We use open-source tools and custom scripts to run our benchmarks. Nothing hidden or proprietary. The full setup is on GitHub, including:
- Test scenarios
- Infrastructure configuration
- Data collection and visualization

What These Numbers Don’t Show
No benchmark is perfect. Here are some caveats to keep in mind:
- Synthetic tests don’t reflect every real-world workload
- Network and disk performance can skew results
- Benchmarks are snapshots, not full stories
