Conclusion
In conclusion, the benchmark results clearly indicate that teler WAF outperforms OWASP Coraza WAF v3 in terms of both compilation and request analysis. teler WAF demonstrates significantly lower values in the compilation phase, highlighting its efficiency in preparing and initializing the threat rules.
Moreover, teler WAF excels with remarkable lower values in the analysis of requests compared to OWASP Coraza WAF v3. This indicates that teler WAF is highly efficient at processing incoming requests, offering faster response times and lower memory consumption. Additionally, teler WAF maintains a substantially higher throughput with an impressive request per second rate and it operates at approx. 80x faster than OWASP Coraza WAF v3. This impressive performance can be attributed to teler WAF default behavior of caching all analyzed requests, a crucial feature for applications that demand high-speed traffic handling.
In summary, based on these benchmark results, teler WAF stands out as a high-performance web application firewall solution, providing faster compilation times and superior request handling performance when compared to OWASP Coraza WAF v3. These findings make teler WAF a compelling choice for organizations seeking enhanced security without compromising on speed and resource efficiency in their web applications.
