I outperformed Enterprise Engines by 225,000x on a $50 CPU. Here is the data

MANIFESTO: The End of the Era of Mass and the Dawn of #MasslessCode The software industry is suffering from a terminal case of complacency. We’ve been sold a lie: that to process more, we need "more"—more RAM, more cores, more cloud instances, more budget. Inefficiency has been rebranded as a business model.

As engineers, we have failed. We have accepted that a DMN decision engine—a structure of pure logic—should be a "Tank": a bloated monolith dragging gigabytes of unnecessary libraries and latencies measured in shameful minutes.

Today, Project Velo reclaims the honor of the silicon.

The Test: Science vs. Bureaucracy To prove that efficiency is a programmer’s obligation and not a hardware luxury, we conducted a head-to-head benchmark:

The Battlefield: 5,000 DMN rules of real-world business complexity.

The Stress Load: 100,000 unique test cases processed sequentially.

The Rival (The Tank): Camunda DMN Engine running on an optimized JVM within a 14-thread Enterprise Server.

Our Weapon (Project Velo): Native C++ architecture, built under the #MasslessCode paradigm.

The Disruption Report Camunda (Standard): 1,915,223 ms (~32 min) | 1.25 GB RAM | 14 Threads.

Project Velo (Multi-Core): 8.50 ms | 0.49 KB RAM | 4 Threads.

Factor: 225,320x Faster.

Why They Failed (And Why Velo Wins) The "Java-lovers" and defenders of infinite abstraction have forgotten that memory is not free. Every time your Garbage Collector kicks in, your system stops. Every time your JVM creates an unnecessary object, the processor's cache screams in agony.

Project Velo doesn’t "manage" memory; it lives within it. It doesn’t "abstract" the hardware; it orchestrates it. We have proven that power doesn't come from a $10,000 server, but from knowing exactly what to do with every single clock cycle.

The Final Humiliation: The Toaster vs. The Tank Here is the fact that will break their hearts: Velo didn't run on a server. It ran on an AMD Athlon 3000G. An entry-level, $50 office "toaster."

While corporate giants need a fleet of tanks just to cross a river, we cross it in milliseconds on a racing bike. If your software requires a server cluster to do what we do on a budget CPU while sipping coffee, your architecture is obsolete.

Efficiency is non-negotiable. Code must be lean. Code must be #Massless.
