Finch is a high-performance HTTP client library for Elixir, built on Mint and NimblePool. It provides efficient connection pooling strategies and minimal memory copying for making HTTP requests.
Use cases
- make fast HTTP requests from an Elixir app
- pool HTTP connections per host in Elixir
- replace hackney/httpoison with a faster client
- configure per-origin connection pool sizes
- isolate traffic with pool tagging
- use as the low-level engine behind Req
When to choose
- you need a performant, pooled HTTP client in Elixir
- you make many concurrent requests to known origins
- you want fine-grained pool configuration
When to avoid
- you want a friendly high-level API - use Req instead
- you need a non-Elixir language client
