The repository for the second edition of Rinha de Backend, a Brazilian community backend performance challenge focused on concurrency control via a credit/debit transaction HTTP API. It provides the challenge specification, validation tests, and load-testing setup for participants to submit and benchmark their implementations.

Use cases

• practice building a high-concurrency HTTP API
• benchmark my backend against others under load
• learn concurrency control and database locking strategies
• participate in a community backend coding challenge
• test how my stack handles race conditions on account balances
• find reference implementations of the rinha de backend challenge

When to choose

• you want a fun, well-defined performance challenge with community results
• you want to stress-test concurrency handling in your language or framework of choice
• you want to study winning solutions for low-latency transactional APIs

When to avoid

• you need production-ready backend code rather than a contest exercise
• you want a general-purpose load-testing tool rather than a fixed challenge spec
• the challenge deadline has passed and you only want an active competition
