What?

These are two pretty quick and hopefully equally featured implementations of event-based aync I/O HTTP servers written with 2 different server frameworks:

• NodeJS
• Netty

Why?

For comparison and benchmarks.

How to run?

NodeJS Server

You need to have node installed. Then:

node node/http-server.js

The node-based HTTP server is now listening on port 8080.

Netty Server

You need to have the JVM and Maven installed. Then:

cd netty-http-server/
mvn dependency:copy-dependencies
mvn package
cd target/
java -jar netty-http-server-VERSION_HERE.jar

THe netty-based HTTP server is now listening on port 9090.
