I benchmarked with Microstream using jmh and jvm-serializers data. Hare are the results: 1) fury is 43x faster for the speed. 2) Fury is 5x smaller for serialized binary size

Here is the code for reproduction: https://github.com/chaokunyang/fury-benchmarks#fury-vs-micro...

Oh nice!! I will certainly try this out. Much of my work these days is Java (Kotlin), C# and Python so a good serialization framework is always helpful.

How does Fury compare to static schema serialization frameworks that aren’t Java focused? For example, flat buffers, alkahest, protobuf etc.

Compared with protobuf, fury is 3.2x faster. When comparing with avro, fury is 5.3x faster. Compared with flatbuffers, fury is 4.8x faster. See https://github.com/eishay/jvm-serializers/wiki for detailed benchmark data

* on the JVM

Right? Flatbuffers supposedly being slower than protobufs is circumspect since most benchmarks I’ve seen for it in C++/Rust show it outperforming, especially since it too does zero-copy deser.

Yes, on the jvm. Haven't tested it for native languages, C++/Rust should be faster since it doesn't compress data and it's zero-copy
