Turbo

Turbo.lua is a framework built for LuaJIT 2 to simplify the task of building fast and scalable network applications. It uses an event-driven, non-blocking, no-thread design to deliver excellent performance and minimal footprint to high-load applications while also providing excellent support for embedded uses. The toolkit can be used for HTTP REST APIs, traditional dynamic web pages through templating, open connections like WebSockets, or just as high-level building blocks for native speed network applications. First and foremost the framework is aimed at the HTTP(S) protocol. This means web developers and HTTP API developers are first-class citizens. But the framework contains generic nuts and bolts such as; an I/O loop, IO Stream classes, and customizable TCP (with SSL) server classes giving it value for everyone doing any kind of high-performance network application.
