What the workloads measure

The row shape and operation mix decide where each framework spends its time.

Scenario families
simple baseline row shape
Shows framework overhead with minimal field complexity, so object creation and query setup dominate.
canary mixed field and nullable stress
Wide mixed records amplify casting, hydration, dirty tracking, and adapter metadata overhead.
int_fixed pure scalar writes
A low-noise floor. Slow results here usually mean framework machinery is expensive even before text and cast-heavy payloads show up.
float_fixed numeric conversion paths
Decimal and float normalization can widen update and verification cost, especially for ORMs that compare serialized values.
string_fixed predictable text hydration
Column count and text assignment matter more than payload variability, which makes hydration strategy easier to isolate.
string_variable application-like text workload
Variable strings and note fields make this the closest to real CRUD traffic and usually punish heavier active-record layers the most.
Operation shapes
Warmup vs hot runs
Run 1 is warmup. Hot-path averages exclude it so boot and metadata setup do not dominate steady-state rankings.
Insert and indexed schemas
Indexed tables make writes cost more because every insert and many updates must maintain secondary indexes as well as the row itself.
Read all vs read probes
Read All rewards bulk hydration efficiency; random and tail probes expose per-query setup, lookup overhead, and tiny-result inefficiency.
Update with verification
Each update shape is followed by a verification read, so dirty-checking, write SQL generation, hydration, and comparison all affect the final time.
Delete with confirmation
Deletes are checked afterward. Frameworks that pay extra for follow-up lookups or teardown lose more time here than a bare SQL path.
Total runtime
The total runtime metric is effectively a benchmark of the machine plus adapter behavior across the full workload, not just one CRUD verb.
