JupyterLab is the most widely used IDE among data scientists for running notebooks. I built Zasper(https://github.com/zasper-io/zasper), a high-performance JupyterLab alternative in Golang, that outperforms JupyterLab in several key areas. After conducting thorough benchmarks, I’m excited to share the results with the community.
Key Findings at a Glance:
* Performance Gap: Zasper consistently outperforms Jupyter Server across all tested metrics
* Resource Efficiency:
CPU: Zasper uses up to 5X less CPU resources
RAM: Zasper uses up to 40X less memory
* Scalability: Zasper maintained performance with 64 kernels at 10 RPS per kernel, while Jupyter Server began failing at this load
* Resilience: Zasper only failed under extremely high loads (64 kernels at 100 RPS per kernel)
