Litmus

A fast asynchronous HTTP server and framework written in Rust for Python. To live and die by speed.

WARNING

This project is intermittently maintained i.e as and when I have some free time to do so. Generally, the LNX project and Lust project take precedence.

Should I use this server over the existing systems?

Probably not, sure Litmus benches considerably faster than uvicorn with your typical small, plain text response benchmarks (generally 70%+ throughput increase) as soon as you put this into a real world situation I doubt you're going to get over 10% increase, you will probably get lower average latency but again by margins of around 10% so pick and choose your poison.

Current state of Litmus:

The main server api has been implemented other than the H2 and WS protocol sections.

How to set host and port of a server?

I got an error if follow case:

async def main():
    global server
    runner = pyre.LSGIToASGIAdapter(app)
    server = pyre.Server(runner, listen_on='localhost:8080')
    server.ignite()
    await server.run_forever()

An example of an error:

Can't run benchmarks locally

I believe that you just need to move files from tests folder to appropriate folders inside the benchmarking folder.

Edit: It seems that there are more details for fixing.
