Crank is Microsoft's benchmarking infrastructure used by the .NET team to run performance benchmarks, including TechEmpower web framework scenarios. It consists of a CLI controller that enqueues benchmark jobs and an agent service that executes them, with support for multi-tiered .NET or Docker-based applications.
Use cases
- benchmark http server throughput and latency
- run techempower-style web framework benchmarks
- measure performance improvements of my application
- load test an api endpoint with wrk or bombardier
- collect performance traces during benchmarks
- benchmark multi-tier dockerized applications
When to choose
- you need reproducible, automated HTTP benchmarking of web servers or APIs
- you want to compare performance across application configurations or frameworks
- you need to run TechEmpower-style scenarios with result storage and charting
When to avoid
- you only need a quick one-off load test without infrastructure setup
- you need browser-based or client-side performance profiling
- you want simple GUI-driven benchmarking
