Reqser

This is a simple web server built with the Hyper framework. I wrote this as a demonstration of fast request handling in rust.

Features

• Request counting with atomic counters
• Metric reporting through two API endpoints: /data/requests and /data/cpu

Techstack

• Lock-free request counting: Using atomic counters to increment the request count. Lower CPU usage
• Sharded request counting: Dividing the request count among multiple shards.
• Time series data storage: Using a VecDeque to store time series data.
• Tokio async framework: Using Tokio to handle asynchronous requests and tasks.
• Hyper framework: Using Hyper to build the web server and handle HTTP requests.

Build and Run

To build and run the server, use the following commands:

cargo build
cargo run

This will start the server and make it available at http://0.0.0.0:80. The metrics endpoints can be accessed at:

• http://0.0.0.0:80/data/requests
• http://0.0.0.0:80/data/cpu

Note

This "project" has no purpose. I made it to demonstrate that most webapps are ass inefficient. lmao
