hyper-express VS desktop

Hey, I believe uWebsockets.js does support clustering. I'm the author of https://github.com/kartikk221/hyper-express which is written on top of uWebsockets.js and is pretty much the fastest webserver in Node land with an Express-like API and all of the common features such as middlewares, Router, async/sync, Websockets, Server Sent Events, File Uploading in a single package that is about same size as Express. The only catch is that you lose about 14% performance from the uWebsockets.js peak because of all the features but this is being improved and a well worth trade off for the familiar developer experience with still almost 2.5x performance of Fastify and other similar frameworks.

Yeah I’m personally of the opinion that the performance loss for regular web services is worth it 99% of the time. RAM is cheap, human time is not.

That said I definitely believe your characterization of resource hunger between nginx and traefik.

You are the second person to mention using websockets for requests in as many days… How do you deal with scale out? Sticky cookie routing seems like almost a requirement if you don’t want to deploy a redis-alike.

Also just out of curiosity, do you use hyper-express[0]?

Building your own webserver on top of a lower level networking library in Node.js can be a good way to learn all 3 of those things. I have built a webserver called HyperExpress which is essentially a layer on top of a low level C++ websever called uWebsockets and I had to utilize and progress my knowledge in buffers, emitters and streams to achieve the same API as Express.js and make it usable for Node.js applications: https://github.com/kartikk221/hyper-express Feel free to dig around in the code and make any PRs for improvements!

Are classes absolutely needed in JS? No, not really. Are classes really nice and significantly improve the readability/flow of your code in some cases? Sure, an example could be a webserver I wrote: https://github.com/kartikk221/hyper-express

Exciting work is happening in all of these areas...

I think you may be looking for this neat library: https://github.com/elixir-desktop/desktop

Although to be honest it boggles my that it's possible to accomplish this on iOS.

One option might be to use something like this - https://github.com/elixir-desktop/desktop - and create an executable that can be downloaded and would work offline (the Phoenix server would run inside the application itself, but would not require an internet connection).

We are trying to see what elixir deskop has to offer in terms of mobile application.. we heard that with elixir desktop you can build mobile apps for both android and ios.. so basically iam just trying to gain some information on how it works.. what are the possibilities or limitations.. otherwise Primarily I build mobile apps using native kotlin or flutter sometimes..

But if your goal is to develop a purely client side app with elixir, I'm afraid that the only option may be to wait for [elixir-desktop](https://github.com/elixir-desktop/desktop) to mature.

There is this new project https://github.com/elixir-desktop/desktop
