gatling is a very small, very scalable web server.
- (Frugal) Homepage
- Mailinglist archive
A main feature for us is el-cheapo virtual hosting. In order to add a new website, just create a new directory for it. No restart required.
We have done a lot of testing to make gatling replace the A in LAMP. This means mainly, prepare for running PHP web sites via a ?fcgi setup.
Recent gatling also supports SNI via mbedtls which makes it maybe one of the most ressource efficient web serving solutions.
As of end 2017 we have found out, that gatling scrambles large
POSTS and have switched temporarily to Hiawatha on SSL, until
the bug is fixed.
