Description

Fast epoll server for Python3 (asyncio and uvloop server replacement) w/ Linux and TCP-support only (for now). Main feature: It is able to handle more than 1M requests per second on regular physical hardware (e.g. a $1k laptop with an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H).

HTTP benchmarks

Hardware: laptop on a 50% underclocked Intel Core Ultra 7 with 22 CPU threads. Tools used: wrk with the parameters 120 connections over 8 threads for 1s (same results for longer durations).

Name	Requests per second	Connection type
Asyncio	14466	close
Uvloop	30608	close
Fastepoll	76072	close
Asyncio	109428	keep-alive
Uvloop	134465	keep-alive
Nginx	347217	keep-alive
Fastepoll	408639	keep-alive
Fastepoll	645017	keep-alive + desync
Fastepoll (100% CPU clock)	1203882	keep-alive + desync (100% CPU speed)

Example code

For benchmark code check the /bench directory out. This is just basic sample code.

import fastepoll

class Test:
	def connection_made(self, transport):
		self.transport = transport

	def data_received(self, data):
		self.transport.send(b"HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n\r\nHello World")
		self.transport.close()

	def eof_received(self):
		pass

fastepoll.run_forever(Test, ":::8080")
