Why would you want to write a custom web server instead of using the existing ones? Performance reasons? Or is there really functionality that is missing from the existing ones?
- errantmind 5y agoI've written a custom web server and the reason was performance. Web servers have the potential to do quite a lot and each of those activities adds latency, so it made sense to write my own web server to implement exactly what I needed and nothing more. A minimalist, custom web server can approach 10m req/s as seen on the Techempower Benchmarks.
