Introduction

Ranch is a socket acceptor pool for TCP protocols.

Ranch aims to provide everything you need to accept TCP connections with a small code base and low latency while being easy to use directly as an application or to embed into your own.

Prerequisites

It is assumed the developer already knows Erlang and has some experience with socket programming and TCP protocols.

Supported platforms

Ranch is tested and supported on Linux, FreeBSD, macOS and Windows.

Ranch is developed for Erlang/OTP 22+.

Ranch may be compiled on earlier Erlang versions with small source code modifications but there is no guarantee that it will work as expected.
