Sure, what would you like to know?

@markpapadakis how big is this hello.html file?
Where can i find this httpSrv? I would like to give it a go.

Hello @frankmullerl
This is no longer around but for what it’s worth, my latest take on this ( on the same hardware ) managed 78k RPS on a single OS thread ( should scale linearly with number of (reactor) cores).

Hi, thanks for your summary about performance of various web server and interesting approach about httpSrv.
I've read yours article on medium and wonder do you publish or can I get the source code of httpSrv?

@eecheng87 Hello! That's not really around anymore, and furthermore, we have since adopted io_uring and a different approach for parsing HTTP request header which resulted in a substantial improvement in performance.
That code is not OSS yet, but it will likely be included in a project we mean to open source soon. Sorry about that.
