Starlet - a simple, high-performance PSGI/Plack HTTP server
% start_server --port=80 -- plackup -s Starlet [options] your-app.psgi or if you do not need hot deploy, % plackup -s Starlet --port=80 [options] your-app.psgi
Starlet is a standalone HTTP/1.0 server with keep-alive support, formerly known as Plack::Server::Standalone::Prefork and Plack::Server::Standalone::Prefork::Server::Starter.
The server supports following features, and is suitable for running HTTP application servers behind a reverse proxy.
- prefork and graceful shutdown using Parallel::Prefork
- hot deploy using Server::Starter
- fast HTTP processing using HTTP::Parser::XS (optional)
In addition to the options supported by plackup, Starlet accepts following options(s).
number of worker processes (default: 10)
seconds until timeout (default: 300)
timeout for persistent connections (default: 2)
max. number of requests allowed per single persistent connection. If set to one, persistent connections are disabled (default: 1)
max. number of requests to be handled before a worker process exits (default: 100)
Starlet is designed and implemented to be simple, secure and fast, especially for running as a HTTP application server running behind a reverse proxy. It only depends on a minimal number of well-designed (and well-focused) modules.
On the other hand if you are looking for a standalone preforking HTTP server that receives HTTP requests directly from the Internet, then you should look at Starman.
