Zbatery - Rack HTTP server without a fork stuck in it

Ruby
1

Zbatery is an HTTP server for Rack applications on systems that either
do not support fork(), or have no memory (nor need) to run the
master/worker model. It is based on Rainbows! (which is based on
Unicorn (which is based on Mongrel)) and inherits parts of each.
Zbatery supports your choice of all the thread/fiber/event/actor-based
concurrency models and Rack middleware that Rainbows! supports (or will
ever support) in a single process.

Zbatery will still exploit certain features of Unix for transparent
upgrades, log reopening, and graceful stops, but does not rely on them
for basic functionality.

== Features

  • Designed for {Rack}[http://rack.rubyforge.org/], the standard for
    modern Ruby HTTP applications.

  • Configuration files are compatible with Rainbows!, a superset
    of the Unicorn
    {DSL}[class Unicorn::Configurator].

  • Inherits all features and concurrency models Rainbows! supports
    (and ever will support): http://rainbows.rubyforge.org/Summary.html

  • -Untested- Works under operating systems that don’t support signals,
    pipe and fork(). Unicorn 0.95.2+ has rake-compiler support, so
    compiling the HTTP parser should be easier at least.

  • -Untested- HTML 5 Web Sockets support
