Cherokee 1.0.0
During the inaugural Summit meeting Cherokee Cherokee 1.0.0 has been submitted , a symbolic gesture to celebrate the event. After seven years of development the Spanish origin http server has carved a niche as software faster, scalable and easy to use.
Cherokee Server
Thanks to Antonio Perez called Skarcha , let's talk about Cherokee Web Server, a web server in the last batch and with a promising future in which he has been working.
Powered Cherokee Web Server
The main strength of Cherokee is that it is very fast. The fastest. There are some benchmarks [1], but as Cherokee is growing so fast, it may not be entirely accurate. Still, can give you an idea of the difference from others.
Benchmark Web Servers
The benchmark consists of half a million requests for static files of 1.7kiB, with 20 concurrent clients using a local line of 1Gbit / s.
The project idea is to make Cherokee the fastest server having the most commonly used features. This in principle may lead to think that it is a server that does not meet our expectations, but nothing is further from reality, because it supports the latest technologies used today (project page):
