Rinha de Backend 2025 is the third edition of a community backend coding challenge where participants build a payment-intermediation service that routes requests between two payment processors with the lowest fees while handling service instability. The repository hosts the challenge specification, instructions, and final results.

Use cases

• practice building high-performance backend services
• compare backend languages and frameworks under load
• learn payment processing failover strategies
• participate in a community backend competition
• benchmark my API against other developers
• study load balancing and fault tolerance techniques

When to choose

• you want a fun, competitive way to test backend performance skills
• you want to learn resilience patterns like failover and rate handling under pressure
• you want to compare how different stacks perform on an identical workload

When to avoid

• you need production-ready payment processing software
• you want a library or framework to include in your own project
• the challenge edition has already concluded and you only want active competitions
