performances

[silviucpp]

Hello,

I just looked over your repo and it's pretty amazing. Congrats ! All interfaces looks pretty nice and self explanatory.

What I'm wonder it's the performance of this servers from a memory usage and requests/second they can serve point of view.

Looking to your results and on what machine you run the tests I see the HTTP/HTTPS server performances being very poor. Have you compared your results with other solutions ?

For example for websocket have you compared the HTTP and websocket performances with https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets which seems a strong candidate ?

Kind regards,
Silviu

I don't think should be too complicated to migrate the HTTP* and websocket implementation over uWebSocksts. The only challenge might be to patch their code to use an external loop (they already support asio)

I looked with one eye into uWebSockets. They already support Boost.ASIO loop. I have to provide a custom ASIO loop (without boost) and integrate uWebSockets with my CppServer and make examples & benchmarks. I'm going to do this in the next week. Hope we'll get very good performance results!

Concerning HTTP/HTTPS I'm not sure if uWebSockets provide necessary API to create REST service with user defined routing as Restbed does.

[silviucpp]

yes you are right needs some work to create a similar rest service in top of uWebSockets but shouldn't be so difficult as time the HTTP protocol is already implemented.

It seems that uWebSockets does not support Asio under Windows paltfrom - uNetworking/uWebSockets#762
