DESCRIPTION

24       Twiggy is a lightweight and fast HTTP server with unique features such
25       as:
26
27       PSGI
28           Can run any PSGI applications. Fully supports psgi.nonblocking and
29           psgi.streaming interfaces.
30
31       AnyEvent
32           This server uses AnyEvent and runs in a non-blocking event loop, so
33           it's best to run event-driven web applications that runs I/O bound
34           jobs or delayed responses such as long-poll, WebSocket or streaming
35           content (server push).
36
37           This software used to be called Plack::Server::AnyEvent but was
38           renamed to Twiggy.
39
40       Fast header parser
41           Uses XS/C based HTTP header parser for the best performance.
42           (optional, install the HTTP::Parser::XS module to enable it; see
43           also Plack::HTTPParser for more information).
44
45       Lightweight and Fast
46           The memory required to run twiggy is 6MB and it can serve more than
47           4500 req/s with a single process on Perl 5.10 with MacBook Pro 13"
48           late 2009.
49
50       Superdaemon aware
51           Supports Server::Starter for hot deploy and graceful restarts.
52
53           To use it, instead of the usual:
54
55               plackup --server Twiggy --port 8111 app.psgi
56
57           install Server::Starter and use:
58
59               start_server --port 8111 -- plackup --server Twiggy app.psgi
60
