Curassow
A Swift HTTP server using the pre-fork worker model, compatible with Nest web frameworks.
What is Curassow?
Curassow is a Swift HTTP server that uses the pre-fork worker model to handle web requests efficiently. It provides a Nest-compatible interface, allowing developers to build web applications with Swift using frameworks that adhere to the Nest specification. The project solves the need for a reliable, production-ready HTTP server in the Swift ecosystem, similar to what Gunicorn offers for Python or Unicorn for Ruby.
Swift developers building web applications or APIs who need a robust HTTP server with process-based concurrency. It's particularly useful for those familiar with the pre-fork model from other languages or frameworks like Nest.
Developers choose Curassow because it brings a battle-tested concurrency model (pre-fork) to Swift, ensuring stability and performance for production workloads. Its compatibility with the Nest interface allows flexibility in choosing web frameworks while maintaining a simple, focused server implementation.
