📊 RELY IS FAST AS FUCK
Kudos to @mleku and his benchmarking efforts, he was able to compare the most popular relay software out there.
Rely is a framework that gives you a lot of flexibility, but it doesn't come with a database, you have to provide it to build your own relay.
So I stitch together rely + sqlite and it ranked at the very top of the list, higher than strfry and khatru, and comparable to nostr-rs.
For a framework this is quite an achievement, given that you get both flexibility AND performance.
