Rhebok, a High Performance Rack Handler/Server 2x faster than Unicorn
Last December I released Rhebok to rubygems. Rhebok is a High Performance Rack Handler/Server.
Rhebok is a standalone Preforking Web Server. This server is optimized for running HTTP application server behind a reverse proxy like nginx. When start Rhebok as upstream server of nginx and connect via unix domain socket, Rhebok is 2 times faster than Unicorn.
Benchmark
"nginx static file" represents req/sec when delivering 13 bytes static files from nginx
Benchmark details is here.
Features
Rhebok supports following features.
- ultra fast HTTP processing using picohttpparser
- uses accept4(2) if OS support
- uses writev(2) for output responses
- prefork and graceful shutdown using prefork_engine
- hot deploy using start_server (here is golang version by lestrrat-san)
- supports HTTP/1.1. But does not have Keepalive.
- supports OobGC
Installation and Usage
Add this line to your application's Gemfile and execute bundle install
gem 'rhebok'
Or install it yourself as
$ gem install rhebok
To run Rhebok, use the rackup command.
$ rackup -s Rhebok --port 8080 -O MaxWorkers=5 -O MaxRequestPerChild=1000 -O OobGC=yes -E production config.ru
