## What it is
The TechEmpower Framework Benchmarks (TFB) project, a suite that measures and compares the performance of web application frameworks across many languages. It provides standardized test types (plaintext, JSON serialization, database/ORM, templating) and a Docker-based tooling script for running and verifying framework tests.

## Use cases
- compare performance of web frameworks
- benchmark my framework against others
- find the fastest web framework for JSON responses
- measure ORM and database throughput across frameworks
- add my framework to a standardized benchmark suite
- run reproducible web framework performance tests with docker

## When to choose
- you want standardized, community-recognized performance comparisons across many web frameworks and languages
- you are a framework author wanting to benchmark your project against the field
- you need reproducible benchmark runs via Docker

## When to avoid
- you need load testing of your own specific application rather than framework-level comparisons
- you want microbenchmarks of individual components outside the TFB test types
- you need a benchmarking library to embed in your own code
