About:
Static Web Server is a blazing-fast, asynchronous web server designed specifically for serving static files. Built with Rust, it leverages multi-threading and efficient memory management to deliver exceptional performance and low resource usage. It provides essential features like compression, TLS support, and custom headers, making it ideal for production deployments.
Key Features:
  • High-performance asynchronous architecture
  • Built-in support for Gzip/Brotli compression
  • TLS/SSL support out of the box
  • Custom headers and CORS configuration
  • SPA (Single Page Application) fallback support
Use Cases:
  • Serving frontend applications (React, Vue, Angular)
  • Hosting static documentation sites
  • Local development server for static assets
  • CDN origin server for static content
Alternatives:
  • http-server – Node.js-based, easier to install but slower performance
  • nginx – More complex configuration, heavier resource usage
