high-performance preforking PSGI/Plack web server
Starman is a PSGI perl web server that has unique features such as:
- High Performance - Uses the fast XS/C HTTP header parser
- Preforking - Spawns workers preforked like most high performance UNIX servers do. Starman also reaps dead children and automatically restarts the worker pool.
- Signals - Supports HUP for graceful restarts, and TTIN/TTOU to dynamically increase or decrease the number of worker processes.
- Superdaemon aware - Supports Server::Starter for hot deploy and graceful restarts.
- Multiple interfaces and UNIX Domain Socket support - Able to listen on multiple intefaces including UNIX sockets.
- Small memory footprint - Preloading the applications with --preload-app command line option enables copy-on-write friendly memory management. Also, the minimum memory usage Starman requires for the master process is 7MB and children (workers) is less than 3.0MB.
- PSGI compatible - Can run any PSGI applications and frameworks
- HTTP/1.1 support - Supports chunked requests and responses, keep-alive and pipeline requests.
