# `ehttpd`
Welcome to `ehttpd` 🎉

`ehttpd` is a thread-based HTTP server library, which can be used to create custom HTTP server applications.


## Thread-based design
The rationale behind the thread-based approach is that it is much easier to implement than `async/await`, subsequently
requires less code, and is – in theory – less error prone.

Furthermore, it also simplifies application development since the developer cannot accidentally stall the entire runtime
with a single blocking call – managed by the OS-scheduler, threads offer much stronger concurrency isolation guarantees
(which can even be `nice`d or tweaked in most environments if desired).


## Performance
While the thread-based approach is not the most efficient out there, it's not that bad either. Some `wrk` benchmarks:

### MacBook Pro (`M1 Pro`, `helloworld`, `v0.7.1`)
```ignore
$ wrk -t 64 -c 64 http://localhost:9999/testolope
Running 10s test @ http://localhost:9999/testolope
  64 threads and 64 connections
  Thread Stats   Avg      Stdev     Max   +/- Stdev
    Latency     1.00ms  520.00us  27.29ms   95.96%
    Req/Sec     1.02k   262.37     6.00k    94.81%
  654074 requests in 10.10s, 32.44MB read
Requests/sec:  64756.19
Transfer/sec:      3.21MB
```

### Old Linux Machine (`Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz`, `helloworld-nokeepalive`, `v0.7.0`)
```ignore
$ wrk -t 64 -c 64 http://localhost:9999/testolope
Running 10s test @ http://localhost:9999/testolope
  64 threads and 64 connections
