A high-performance HTTP web server written in C++11 using epoll edge-triggered non-blocking IO with a Reactor concurrency model and thread pool. It handles GET/HEAD requests, static resources, keep-alive and pipelined connections, and includes an asynchronous double-buffered logging system.

Use cases

• serve static files over http on linux
• learn how epoll and reactor pattern web servers work
• study a c++11 thread pool and async logging implementation
• benchmark a lightweight http server with webbench
• understand http request parsing with a state machine
• prepare for c++ backend interview questions about web servers

When to choose

• you want a compact, readable C++ codebase to learn high-performance server internals
• you need a minimal static-content HTTP server on Linux
• you are studying epoll, RAII, timers, and thread-pool concurrency patterns

When to avoid

• you need a production web server with TLS, dynamic content, or broad feature support
• you need cross-platform support beyond Linux
• you want a maintained framework with active development and modern tooling
