Abstract
Over the last few years, the World Wide Web has transformed itself from a static content-distribution medium to an interactive, dynamic
medium. The Web is now widely used as the presentation layer for a host of on-line services such as e-mail and address books, e-cards, e-
calendar, shopping, banking, and stock trading. As a consequence (HyperText Markup Language)HTML files are now typically generated
dynamically after the server receives the request. From the Web-site providers’ point of view, dynamic generation of HTML pages implies a
lesser understanding of the real capacity and performance of their Web servers. From the Web developers’ point of view, dynamic content
implies an additional technology decision: the Web programming technology to be employed in creating a Web-based service. Since the Web
is inherently interactive, performance is a key requirement, and often demands careful analysis of the systems. In this paper, pare four
dynamic Web programming technologies from the point of view of performance. parison is based on testing and measurement of
two cases: one is a case study of a real application that was deployed in an actual Web-based service; the other is a trivial application. The two
cases provide us with an opportunity pare the performance of these technologies at two ends of the spectrum in terms plexity.
Our focus in this paper is on plex vs. simple applications perform when implemented using different Web programming
technologies. The paper parisons and insights based on this development and performance measurement effort.
