Rinha de Backend 2023 Q3 is a community-run backend performance competition where participants build a people CRUD API and compete under strict CPU and memory limits using docker-compose. The repository contains the challenge rules, stress-test setup, participant submissions, and final rankings from load tests run on AWS.

Use cases

• find a backend performance challenge to practice load testing
• learn how to optimize an API under tight CPU and memory constraints
• study real-world submissions for high-throughput API design
• compare stress-test results across languages and frameworks
• set up a docker-compose based load testing scenario
• benchmark my API against community p99 latency results

When to choose

• you want a fun, competitive way to practice backend performance tuning
• you want to study how others squeeze maximum throughput from limited resources
• you are looking for realistic docker-compose load-testing exercises

When to avoid

• you need production-ready backend scaffolding rather than a competition exercise
• you want a maintained tool or library rather than a historical contest archive
• you need realistic production benchmarks - the ranking criteria is intentionally simplistic
