Welcome to ehttpd 🎉
ehttpd is a thread-based HTTP server library, which can be used to create custom HTTP server applications.
The rationale behind the thread-based approach is that it is much easier to implement than async/await, subsequently
requires less code, and is – in theory – less error prone.
Furthermore, it also simplifies application development since the developer cannot accidentally stall the entire runtime
with a single blocking call – managed by the OS-scheduler, threads offer much stronger concurrency isolation guarantees
(which can even be niced or tweaked in most environments if desired).
While the thread-based approach is not the most efficient out there, it's not that bad either. Some wrk benchmarks:
