Starlet(3)

NAME
Starlet - a simple, high-performance PSGI/Plack HTTP server

SYNOPSIS
  % start_server --port=80 -- plackup -s Starlet [options] your-app.psgi

  or if you do not need hot deploy,

  % plackup -s Starlet --port=80 [options] your-app.psgi

DESCRIPTION
Starlet is a standalone HTTP/1.0 server with keep-alive support, formerly known as Plack::Server::Standalone::Prefork and Plack::Server::Standalone::Prefork::Server::Starter.

The server supports following features, and is suitable for running HTTP application servers behind a reverse proxy.

- prefork and graceful shutdown using Parallel::Prefork

- hot deploy using Server::Starter

- fast HTTP processing using HTTP::Parser::XS (optional)

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
In addition to the options supported by plackup, Starlet accepts following options(s).

  --max-workers=#
number of worker processes (default: 10)

  --timeout=#
seconds until timeout (default: 300)

  --keepalive-timeout=#
timeout for persistent connections (default: 2)

  --max-keepalive-reqs=#
max. number of requests allowed per single persistent connection. If set to one, persistent connections are disabled (default: 1)

  --max-reqs-per-child=#
max. number of requests to be handled before a worker process exits (default: 100)

NOTES
Starlet is designed and implemented to be simple, secure and fast, especially for running as a HTTP application server running behind a reverse proxy. It only depends on a minimal number of well-designed (and well-focused) modules.

On the other hand if you are looking for a standalone preforking HTTP server that receives HTTP requests directly from the Internet, then you should look at Starman.
