We tried Sinatra-synchrony, but had some problems with it with latest sinatra and ruby. Eventually I just used eventmachine-synchrony together with Rack::Fiberpool, which works just fine too.

So, if I'm reading this right, response time and reqs/second look pretty comparable between this and express.
I think you're reading it right on the plain Hello World benches, but the in the HAML and SASS benches node is already 2 to 4 times faster with no concurrency. I think this speaks a lot for the impressive speed of V8. HAML/SASS are originally Ruby libraries, and carry a few years of experience on their backs, unlike their javascript versions. These V8 numbers are even (far) more impressive: http://attractivechaos.github.com/plb

Those benchmarks are not leveraging the concurrency that Sinatra::Synchrony brings to Sinatra. All this benchmark shows is that a concurrent application can serve out more requests than a non-concurrent application when tested concurrently.

The beautiful thing about Sinatra is that it is ridiculously easy to pick up and go. With even a small amount of Ruby knowledge you're up and running in no time.

Good to know - I'll be starting from scratch. Any useful Sinatra resources I should use, aside from the canonical Sinatra book?

#18Sinatra-synchrony is awesome. For those looking to do a few more advanced use-cases, like HTTP streaming upload/downloads, websockets, etc.. Take a look at Goliath: https://github.com/postrank-labs/goliath
Same idea, em-synchrony under the hood.

If you're running on Heroku you probably don't care about saving money...

"learning Sinatra" - not much to it. Dive in!
