Maven Dependency

Quick Start

HttpServer.create()
.handle(req -> {
req.onData(buf -> {
// handle http content 
});
req.onEnd(p -> {
req.response()
.setStatus(200)
.end("Hello ESA Http Server!".getBytes());
returnp.setSuccess(null);
});
})
.listen(8080)
.awaitUninterruptibly();

Performance

Test cases

• We built an echo server by ESA HttpServer and used a http client to do the requests for RPS testing with different bytes payload(16B, 128B, 512B, 1KB, 4KB, 10KB)
• Also we used origin netty to build a server which is same with above for RPS testing (uses the HttpServerCodec, HttpObjectAggregator handlers directly).

Hardware Used

We used the following software for the testing:

• wrk4.1.0

• 	OS	CPU	Mem(G)
  server	centos:6.9-1.2.5(docker)	4	8
  client	centos:7.6-1.3.0(docker)	16	3
