reify

/ˈriːɪˌfaɪ/

(transitive) to consider or make (an abstract idea or concept) real or concrete

Reifier is a threaded and pre forked rack app server written in pure ruby.

Yes, no really just a fun project use it in production if you want :P

Benchmarking a non feature complete HTTP server is very reasonable but here it is: benchmarky marky

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'reifier'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install reifier

Use it through rackup:

$ rackup -s reifier

Or with rails:

$ rails s reifier

You can adapt the ThreadPool size with following options:

$ rackup -s reifier -O MinThreads=8 -O MaxThreads=16

Also the amount of workers is adaptable:

$ rackup -s reifier -O Workers=5

You can also use a config file for these and more settings.

When you are using rails s reifier tries to load the file from Rails.root/config/reifier.rb

When you are using any other rack app it tries to load the file from Dir.pwd/config/reifier.rb

See the example config
