Kore is an easy-to-use, scalable web application framework for writing web APIs and concurrent web processes in C or Python. It is secure by default, with privilege separation, sandboxed worker processes (seccomp/pledge), TLS enabled by default, and an event-driven architecture with per-CPU workers.

Use cases

• write a high-performance web API in C
• build a secure HTTPS server with automatic X509 certificates via ACME
• serve websockets in a lightweight C backend
• run a sandboxed web application with seccomp/pledge isolation
• add Python page handlers to a C web server
• build a web service with async PostgreSQL support
• deploy a web app as a single binary or dynamic library

When to choose

• you need a fast, minimal web server in C with strong security defaults
• you want privilege separation and OS-level sandboxing for a web service
• you target Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, or macOS on x64/arm/aarch64
• you need TLS, websockets, and hot module reloading out of the box

When to avoid

• you want a large ecosystem of middleware and third-party packages
• your team primarily works in high-level languages like JavaScript or Go
• you need rapid prototyping over raw performance and security hardening
• you require platforms or architectures outside Linux/BSD/macOS x64/arm
