Twiggy is a lightweight and fast HTTP server with unique features such as:
PSGI
Can run any PSGI applications. Fully supports *psgi.nonblocking* and
*psgi.streaming* interfaces.
AnyEvent
This server uses AnyEvent and runs in a non-blocking event loop, so
it's best to run event-driven web applications that runs I/O bound
jobs or delayed responses such as long-poll, WebSocket or streaming
content (server push).
This software used to be called Plack::Server::AnyEvent but was
renamed to Twiggy. See "NAMING" for details.
Fast header parser
Uses XS/C based HTTP header parser for the best performance.
(optional)
Lightweight and Fast
The memory required to run twiggy is 6MB and it can serve more than
4500 req/s with a single process on Perl 5.10 with MacBook Pro 13"
late 2009.
Superdaemon aware
Supports Server::Starter for hot deploy and graceful restarts.
