This is an attempt to provide very easy-to-use Lua Application Server working over WebSockets protocol (RFC 6455). LAppS is an application server for micro-services architecture. It is build to be highly scalable vertically. The docker cloud infrastructure (kubernetes or swarm) shall be used for horizontal scaling. LAppS has most scallable WebSockets server out there. LAppS is the same thing to WebSockets as the Apache or Nginx are to HTTP. LAppS does not supports HTTP (though it supports HTTP Upgrade GET request as per RFC 6455). The only supported scripting language so far is the Lua.

Features

  • RFC 6455 is fully implemented
  • RFC 7692 (compression extensions) is not implemented due to concerns about BREACH attacks
  • LAppS is an easy way to develop low-latency web applications
  • It is possible to have per-message compression on the LAppS protocol level without being affected by BREACH attacks
  • Fastest WebSocket stream parser in industry
  • Easy API for rapid development of backend services in lua, C or C++
  • High vertical scalability for requests parallelization
  • Several million client connections on one system
