YARP vs Nginx - A Quick Performance Comparison

https://www.milanjovanovic.tech/blog/yarp-vs-nginx-a-quick-performance-comparison

In this video, I benchmark YARP vs NGINX to see which reverse proxy delivers better performance — and the results might surprise you!

We’ll break down:

- How YARP and NGINX differ (layer 4 vs layer 7)

- How to set up both using Docker Compose

- A K6-powered performance benchmark comparing requests per second, latency, and tuning

- Why raw speed isn’t the only factor — and why YARP might still be worth using despite performance trade-offs

If you’re building .NET systems and wondering whether you should stick with NGINX or integrate YARP for tighter ecosystem support (like authentication, middleware, or OpenTelemetry), this deep dive is for you.
