NAME

       Twiggy - AnyEvent HTTP server for PSGI

SYNOPSIS

         twiggy --listen :8080

       See "twiggy -h" for more details.

         use Twiggy::Server;

         my $server = Twiggy::Server->new(
             host => $host,
             port => $port,
         );
         $server->register_service($app);

         AE::cv->recv;

DESCRIPTION

       Twiggy is a lightweight and fast HTTP server with unique features such as:

       PSGI
           Can run any PSGI applications. Fully supports psgi.nonblocking and psgi.streaming
           interfaces.

       AnyEvent
           This server uses AnyEvent and runs in a non-blocking event loop, so it's best to run
           event-driven web applications that runs I/O bound jobs or delayed responses such as
           long-poll, WebSocket or streaming content (server push).

           This software used to be called Plack::Server::AnyEvent but was renamed to Twiggy.

       Fast header parser
           Uses XS/C based HTTP header parser for the best performance. (optional, install the
           HTTP::Parser::XS module to enable it; see also Plack::HTTPParser for more
           information).

       Lightweight and Fast
           The memory required to run twiggy is 6MB and it can serve more than 4500 req/s with a
           single process on Perl 5.10 with MacBook Pro 13" late 2009.

       Superdaemon aware
           Supports Server::Starter for hot deploy and graceful restarts.

           To use it, instead of the usual:

               plackup --server Twiggy --port 8111 app.psgi

           install Server::Starter and use:

               start_server --port 8111 -- plackup --server Twiggy app.psgi

ENVIRONMENT

       The following environment variables are supported.

       TWIGGY_DEBUG
