  • Tino

    A one-of-a-kind, stupid fast, Python API using Redis Protocol and MsgPack

    • Author here, combining Redis protocol and MsgPack is a much more platform independent way of building a protocol.

    The redis protocol and Msppack are both only a a hundred lines or so for a parser. Meaning you can build your own from scratch in a new language if one isn’t supported.

    Its also stupid fast.

    Compared to protocol buffers which can be extremely complicated to grok on the binary level.

    I built a more robust API RPC for Python here based on Redis and MsgPack: https://github.com/hansonkd/tino

  • cowboy

    Small, fast, modern HTTP server for Erlang/OTP.

    • Ranch is a pretty well optimized and battle hardened tcp acceptor. It powers the Cowboy/Phoenix server which scales to extreme level of concurrency and low latency. Cowboy uses ranch to pool and accept connections and I believe it uses {active,once}.
