Static Web Server
Run a high-performance static web server with minimal resources. Get HTTP/2, TLS, advanced compression, and cross-platform support in a single 4MB binary.
Serve static web files and assets with a tiny, fast, and production-ready web server. Built with Rust, it is memory-safe and has significantly reduced CPU and RAM overhead, making it ideal for resource-constrained environments. The entire server is a single, dependency-free 4MB binary, available for Linux, macOS, Windows, Docker, and even WebAssembly.
It comes packed with features for modern web development, including:
- Advanced Compression: Supports GZip, Brotli, and Zstandard, with on-demand and pre-compressed file serving.
- Modern Protocols: Provides HTTP/2 and TLS support out of the box for secure and fast connections.
- Flexible Configuration: Manage settings using CLI arguments, environment variables, or a TOML file.
- Powerful Routing: Set up custom URL rewrites, redirects, virtual hosts, and fallback pages for Single-Page Applications.
- Security & Access: Includes CORS with preflight request support and Basic HTTP Authentication.
- Developer Friendly: Offers optional directory listing, configurable logging, and first-class Docker support.
