Quick Comparisons


Performance


Poku is continuously tested to ensure the following expectations for basic usage:

- ~4x faster than [Jest](https://github.com/jestjs/jest) (v29.7.0)
- ~3x faster than [Vitest](https://github.com/vitest-dev/vitest) (v1.6.0)
- ~1x faster than [Mocha](https://github.com/mochajs/mocha) (v10.4.0) + [Chai](https://github.com/chaijs/chai) (v5.1.1)

You can see how the tests are run and compared in the benchmark directory.


Installation Size


Install Size

- [~230x lighter than Vitest](https://pkg-size.dev/vitest)
- [~130x lighter than Jest](https://pkg-size.dev/jest)
- [~30x lighter than Mocha + Chai](https://pkg-size.dev/mocha%20chai)

Poku size is highly significant in development to ensure cost-saving CI that require servers that charge for storage and usage.
