VeTiS
VeTiS is a lightweight yet powerful web server that brings simplicity and performance together. Designed with Rust’s safety guarantees in mind, it delivers HTTP/1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3 support with a clean, intuitive API that makes building web services a breeze.
Built on top of hyper.
History
VeTiS started as a component of deboa-tests, a private crate used by deboa http client for integration testing purposes, as it got more features, like HTTP1/2 and 3 support, alongside TLS, I realized project could be reused somehow.
So with reusability in mind, I started EasyHttpMock, a project which aims to be a quick and easy way to start a mock server for integration purposes, it didn’t took too much to realized this internal http server used by EasyHttpMock could be reused for other purposes than simply be a mock server.
That’s why VeTiS came to reality, by taking advantage of what I started on deboa-tests for testing purposes, it turned into a complete http server project, the goal is make it very flexible, while keeping it small and fast.
