MyBatis used the least memory, while Jdbi remained competitive on latency. #java **[Java Experiments](https://daily.dev/sources/javaexperiments)** · [@ejboy](https://daily.dev/ejboy) · 0 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary MyBatis Core, Jdbi Core and jOOQ OSE were each run twice against the same Javalin app on a 512 MiB VM with swap disabled. MyBatis had the lowest median workload RSS in both rounds, around 116.6 to 118.0 MiB, while jOOQ ran 34 to 38 MiB higher. Jdbi and MyBatis had overlapping HTTP p95 ranges (7.38 to 8.48 ms vs 7.47 to 7.52 ms), while jOOQ's p95 was 9.19 to 9.35 ms. All six runs completed 1,500 requests with no errors, OOM events or swapping. The author picked MyBatis for this app based on its lower memory use and a preference for its mapper-oriented model. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
