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
