Zhur

What is Zhur?

Zhur [ʐur], named after the soup, is a platform for writing simple, small-scale HTTP-driven web apps with WebAssembly, utilizing Kevin Hoffman's waPC protocol. It was the subject of my bachelor's degree dissertation in university. Zhur's features include a built-in key/value store and a user SDK that facilitates returning various types of HTTP responses.

Design

Zhur is designed as several modules running in separate processes, communicating over Unix domain sockets. The most important ones are:

  • a core process, responsible for hosting the user-submitted WebAssembly code and running the applications in response to incoming requests
  • a gateway process, running as an HTTP server that forwards its requests to the core process
  • a database process, responsible for storing application data in a sled key/value database.
