Design goals

• Extremely fast, low latency HTTP responses
• Do not block the event loop
• Support >100k concurrent requests
• Can be run on cheap hardware
• Web scale without the hardware cost

Installation

This is targeted and tested on amd64 Linux only, for now, though it should not be hard to build on BSD.
