Raptor is a radically new Ruby web server, built for two goals:  
**performance** and **visbility**.

Raptor has an innovative and optimized HTTP engine, making it up to 4x  
faster than Unicorn, up to 2x faster than Puma and up to 2x faster than  
Torquebox.

Raptor gives you visibility into your app’s behavior, so that you can  
easily analyze problems. No more pulling your hair out during  
production, wondering why the app is misbehaving.
