Satori

An HTTP library built on top of libUV.

What is Satori?

• An asyncronous IO framework
• A C++ wrapper of libuv
• An attempt to build the Express / Node.js of the C++ ecosystem

Project Status

Satori is in development. Do not use this in production quite yet!

Design Goals

• Great performance, at least as fast as Node.js in all benchmarks
• Low memory-usage
• Cross platform (Linux, Windows and macOS)
• Leverage C++ 14 for terse user-code (similar length to Express apps)
• Commercial friendly license (MIT)
• Easy builds and dependency management using Buck and Buckaroo
• Zero dependencies at deployment-time

TODO

• Path-to-regex
• Router
• Async file-system API
• Benchmarks
• Kafel integration for secure route-handling
• ... and probably lots more!

Building

You will need Buck and Buckaroo.

# Fetch dependencies
buckaroo install

# Build the library
buck build :satori

# Run the example
buck run :main
