httpbeast

httpbeast[1] reached #6 at one point, but I think the author is busy with other things nowadays. https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r18&hw=... [1] https://github.com/dom96/httpbeast

Thank you to the author for writing this. Entitlement in open source is a massive problem, I have experienced it first-hand many times. The problem is that it discourages contributions not only from the existing maintainers but also from people who may volunteer to fix issues in the future. Would you be willing to contribute if most of the issues are just asking for things (often rudely) and not even saying thanks when an issue is resolved? Unfortunately I have seen far worse examples than the one linked in the article[1]. I would encourage people to not only think twice before acting this way but to also call out people that are acting entitled in open source to discourage such actions. 1 - https://github.com/dom96/httpbeast/pull/35#issuecomment-7218...

dom96, have you been able to handoff Jester/HttpBeast to someone else to run? IIRC, you started a new job a couple of years ago and as such, you we’re able to work on NIM as much anymore. And if you (or others) are still working on it, any HTTP2 plans? https://github.com/dom96/httpbeast/issues/1 Love what you’ve built btw.

There is plenty of web frameworks and servers, each with differing maintenance levels. You can for example check out Jester[1] and HttpBeast[2] (shameless plug, I wrote these :)). 1 - https://github.com/dom96/jester 1 - https://github.com/dom96/httpbeast

How to run those benchmarks? At that Nim release page: https://nim-lang.org/blog/2021/10/19/version-160-released.ht... Is link to this benchmark: https://web-frameworks-benchmark.netlify.app/result Where nim is 2nd with 200k req/s, but it is using httpbeast: https://github.com/dom96/httpbeast That says it would be more useful to use jester: https://github.com/dom96/jester Jester has 150k req/s. But, when looking at these: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ drogon, actix etc has about 600k req/s . Also redbean has about 600k req/s, when I tested: https://redbean.dev/ I tested like this: git clone https://github.com/wg/wrk.git cd wrk make ./wrk -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip' -t 12 -c 120 http://127.0.0.1:8080/ When I tested https://caddyserver.com v2, it did show about 800k req/s. It would be very helpful to know how those benchmarks are a

Nim forum is written in pure Nim[1] and is using httpbeast[2] as a backend. [1]: https://github.com/nim-lang/nimforum [2]: https://github.com/dom96/httpbeast In terms of features it's powerful enough to build a Discourse-like forum enough. In terms of performance it's very well performing in the TechEmpower benchmarks[3] it is competing in. It even grabbed first place on JSON serialization on Cloud hardware.

Concurrency is achieved via async await. For parallelism each thread has its own GC so that makes things a lot safer, but sadly less efficient if your algorithm wants to share data between threads a lot (you can copy data between threads). You can also allocate shared memory but that's considered unsafe, this will hopefully be improved in the future. As for how well this all works, well, I recently implemented a high performance parallel HTTP server [1]. It's currently hosting the Nim Forum[2] and has been doing so for the past few months. Also it's proving very performant[3]. 1 - https://github.com/dom96/httpbeast 2 - http://forum.nim-lang.org/ 3 - https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=test&runid=b...
