  • woo

    A fast non-blocking HTTP server on top of libev

  • What is the CL counterpart to the above? So far, I managed to find Woo, which purports to be an asynchronous HTTP web server based on libev.

  • cl-async

    Asynchronous IO library for Common Lisp.

  • As for the library offering the async primitives, cl-async seems to be comparable with asyncio - however, it's based on libuv (a different event loop) and I'm not sure whether it's advisable or idiomatic to mix it with Woo.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • cl-tbnl-gserver-tmgr

    Hunchentoot Gserver based taskmanager

  • I've implemented an experimental Hunchentoot taskmanager which is based on a cl-gserver, an actor based library. This taskmanager can have a configurable number of request 'handlers' where the requests are basically handled asynchronous. https://github.com/mdbergmann/cl-tbnl-gserver-tmgr

  • wookie

    Asynchronous HTTP server in common lisp

  • cl-async's web server companion is https://github.com/orthecreedence/wookie, by the same author.

  • cl-coroutine

    Cl-coroutine is a coroutine library for Common Lisp. It uses cl-cont continuations library in its implementation.

  • Checkout https://github.com/takagi/cl-coroutine which is based on cl-cont https://common-lisp.net/project/cl-cont/.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
