The hot path — level check, redaction decision, and format — is optimised with pre-built caches built once on construction, not on every log call. +logixia is async-first and built for the hot path: a synchronous fast path for in-process transports (no Promise allocated when the write completes synchronously), a millisecond-cached timestamp, lazy formatting (each transport formats once — no wasted pre-format), and per-call work (level check, namespace resolution, redaction decision) served off pre-built caches. The result: logixia **beats pino on 5 of 6 real-world scenarios**, beats winston and bunyan across the board, and keeps **p99 latency at 1–3µs** with no tail spikes. -| Library | Simple log (ops/sec) | Structured log (ops/sec) | Error log (ops/sec) | p99 latency | -| ----------- | -------------------: | -----------------------: | ------------------: | -----------: | -| pino | 1,258,000 | 630,000 | 390,000 | 2.5–12µs | -| **logixia** | **840,000** | **696,000** | **654,000** | **4.8–10µs** | -| winston | 738,000 | 371,000 | 433,000 | 9–16µs | +Benchmarked against **pino, winston, and bunyan** — all writing to `/dev/null` (pure serialization + framework overhead, no disk/terminal cost). Node 20, Apple M-series; numbers are ops/sec, higher is better. Reproduce with `npm run benchmark`. -logixia is **10% faster than pino on structured logging** and **68% faster on error serialization**. It beats winston across the board. Pino leads on simple string logs because it uses synchronous direct writes to `process.stdout` — a trade-off that blocks the event loop under heavy I/O and disappears as soon as you add real metadata. +| Scenario | pino | **logixia** | winston | bunyan | +| ------------------------------ | --------: | ------------: | --------: | ------: | +| Simple string log | 3,220,000 | 2,769,000 | 1,577,000 | 707,000 | +| **Structured log (5 fields)** | 1,319,000 | **1,536,000** | 699,000 | 536,000 | +| **Error object logging** | 907,000 | **1,940,000** | 1,062,000 | 573,000 | +| **Child / per-request logger** | 1,093,000 | **1,436,000** | 321,000 | 380,000 | +| **Deep nested object** | 891,000 | **1,040,000** | 435,000 | 442,000 | +| **High-cardinality (12 flds)** | 651,000 | **1,027,000** | 316,000 | 404,000 | -To reproduce: `node benchmarks/run.mjs` +**What this means:** + +- ✅ **logixia is faster than pino on 5 of 6 scenarios** — including **+114% on error logging**, **+58% on high-cardinality**, **+31% on child loggers**, and **+16% on structured logs** — the shapes that dominate real production traffic. +- ✅ **logixia beats winston and bunyan in every scenario**, often by 2–3×, and avoids their tail-latency spikes (winston hit **3,038µs p99** on high-cardinality and **412µs** on deep objects; logixia stays **1–3µs p99** throughout). +- ⚖️ **pino still wins the trivial simple-string case** (−14%) because it writes synchronously straight to `process.stdout` — fast in a microbenchmark, but it blocks the event loop under real I/O and is exactly the path behind pino's open [flush-on-exit log-loss bug](#graceful-shutdown). logixia stays non-blocking and guarantees delivery, and pulls ahead the moment you log anything structured. + +**Distinctive-feature throughput** (no cross-library equivalent — `npm run benchmark:features`): + +| Operation | ops/sec | p99 | +| ---------------------------------------- | --------: | ----: | +| Wide event (accumulate 6 fields + emit) | 742,000 | 3.7µs | +| `safeStringify` (BigInt + circular) | 2,735,000 | 0.5µs | +| `decycle` + `retrocycle` round-trip | 1,003,000 | 1.3µs | +| Adaptive-sampling decision (hot path) | 1,950,000 | 0.9µs | +| Namespace child logging (`db.*` → debug) | 1,966,000 | 0.8µs | + +Sampling and namespace resolution add **negligible overhead** (~µs), so you can keep them on in production. + +To reproduce: `npm run benchmark` (core) and `npm run benchmark:features` (distinctive APIs). --- diff --git a/benchmarks/features.mjs b/benchmarks/features.mjs new file mode 100644 index 0000000..4222276 --- /dev/null +++ b/benchmarks/features.mjs @@ -0,0 +1,143 @@ +/** + * Logixia feature benchmark suite. + * + * Measures the throughput of logixia's distinctive APIs (no cross-library + * equivalent), so the README can quote real ops/sec for them: + * - wide events (canonical log line accumulation + emit) + * - safeStringify (BigInt + circular safe) vs JSON.stringify baseline + * - decycle/retrocycle round-trip + * - adaptive sampling decision (shouldEmit hot path) + * - per-namespace runtime level resolution on a child logger + * + * Run: node benchmarks/features.mjs (build first: npm run build) + */ + +import { Bench } from 'tinybench';
