quark Description
This project aims to do one thing well and do it well. That is, serve static web directories correctly and that is the goal. Other solutions are either too complicated (CGI support, dependencies upon external libraries, etc.). or lack features you expect (TLS, virtual hosts, partial content, not modified since, etc.). Quark attempts to find a middle ground and be as static as possible while still providing functions that are not available in more complex solutions. We believe that the majority of the web doesn't need to be dynamic. The main reason for the web obesity crisis is the increasing complexity of server-side applications. The current trend is to do everything on a server, including parsing and modifying files and databases, creating HTML, and all that using unfit languages such as JavaScript or PHP. This is a security and efficiency nightmare.

Eclipse Jetty
Jetty is a web server and servlet containers that supports HTTP/2, WebSocket and OSGi. It also supports JMX, JNDI and many other integrations. These components are free to use and distribute. Jetty is used in many products and projects, both in production and development. Jetty is a long-standing favorite among developers because it can be easily embedded in tools, frameworks and application servers. It is fully featured and standards-based. Open source and commercially-usable, flexible, extensible, small footprint and embeddable, enterprise-scalable, dual-licensed under Eclipse and Apache. Large clusters, like Facebook Presto. Cloud computing, such Google AppEngine. The current recommended version for Jetty depends on the servlet API version and desired licensing.

H2O
H2O is a new generation HTTP Server that responds faster to users and uses less CPU than older web servers. The server is a completely new design and takes full advantage of HTTP/2 features such as server push and prioritized content serving. This will ensure that your website visitors have an exceptional experience. Server-side tweaks allow for full support of dependency and weight-based prioritization. H2O can be installed as a binary package thanks to others. You can try installing the software first using your preferred packaging system and then revert to installing from source. We believe LibreSSL is a better choice to run H2O. LibreSSL is more secure than OpenSSL and also supports new ciphersuites.

Monkey Server
Monkey is a lightweight web server and development platform for Linux and OSX. It is extremely scalable and has low CPU consumption. This makes it the ideal solution for embedded devices. It is compatible with ARM, x86, and x64. Monkey is a lightweight, scalable Web Server. It was originally designed for Linux but is also compatible with OSX. It was designed with an emphasis on embedded devices. Because of this, it is scalable by nature and has a low CPU and memory consumption. This makes it a great solution for high-end production servers. Monkey can be used on ARM, x86, and x64 architectures. Monkey uses a hybrid model that has a fixed number threads. Each thread can attend thousands of clients because it is event-driven and based on asynchronous sockets. Lock-free interaction between the worker threads and the scheduler is possible, which avoids race conditions and provides a significant performance advantage over other options.

Apache Traffic Server
Apache Traffic Server™ software is a fast, extensible and compliant HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 caching proxy server. Yahoo! Yahoo! donated it to the Apache Foundation. It is currently used by many major CDNs and content creators. You can improve your response time and reduce server load by caching and reusing frequently requested web pages, images and web service calls. Modern SMP hardware supports this application, which can handle 10s of thousands requests per second. You can easily add keep-alive, filter, anonymize, or load balancing features by adding a proxy layer. APIs allow you to create your own plug-ins that can do everything from modifying HTTP headers, handling ESI requests, and writing your own cache algorithm. Yahoo! handles over 400TB per day Apache Traffic Server can be used as reverse proxy or forward proxy.
