Lightweight, high performance NodeJS Server.

Project was born out of the need for faster performing server using NodeJS. Current implementation lacks focus on performance, which can be achieved by moving parts of code to native C++ bindings.

Aim of the project is to offer an alternative solution, which is using less memory and CPU power, giving you available resources for your code or handling higher number of requests.

• No changes required: Just replace require('http') with require('mitol')
• Top Speed: Roughly 3x better performance than integrated server
• Additional features: Work in progress (Static file server, Router, ...)

Currently only Linux has been tested. To install the project make sure you have node-gyp, python and build-tools (GCC, etc.) installed. To build the node package do the following:

npm i mitol

To test the project you can use the following script

(Single process):

const http = require('mitol');
 
let server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
    res.end('Hello World!');
});
 
server.listen(8080, () => {
    console.log('Example app listening on port 8080!')
});

(Multi process):

const cluster = require('cluster');
const numCPUs = require('os').cpus().length;
const http = require('mitol');
 
if (cluster.isMaster) {
    // Fork workers.
    for (let i = 0; i < numCPUs; i++) {
        cluster.fork();
    }
 
    cluster.on('exit', (worker, code, signal) => {
        console.log(`worker ${worker.process.pid} died`);
    });
} else {
    let server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
        res.end('Hello World!');
    });
 
    server.listen(8080, () => {
        console.log('Example app listening on port 8080!')
    });
}
