Ask HN: Fast HTTP server for Windows
I need a fast HTTP server for Windows which can proxy between 7 different applications and 3 different hosts. 5 of these apps are deployed on Tomcat. nginx, lighttpd are not directly available for Windows. Apache HTTPD seems slow due when huge number of connections are made as it creates a new thread.
- benologist 14y agoWhat about the built in IIS web server?
- sangupta 14y agoI don't have much experience with IIS, do you think it will be able to handle load as that of httpd, nginx, etc?
- benologist 14y agoI have seen IIS handle 1000s of requests per second using .NET.
- sangupta 14y agoSorry, but my code is in Java, C++ and static files.
- benologist 14y agoYou can probably run them all through IIS, I know you can do Java, PHP etc and of course static files everything can handle. Is there a reason you're going with Windows when it sounds like your experience is with other platforms? The best platform is the one you know best.
- mbonaci 14y agonode.js?
- sangupta 14y agoIsn't node.js for building apps, than being used as a static file server and reverse-proxy?
