## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 40/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-03T02:20:16.233290+00:00)
- activity 25, release rhythm 35, longevity 80
- inputs: {"age_days": 1131, "days_push": 450, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: benchmarking, load-testing, api-framework, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, performance, backend, apis, tutorials
- platform: cloud, cross-platform
- tags: backend-challenge, stress-test, competition, docker-compose, brazilian-community, performance-tuning, docker
