About:
Yaws is a high-performance HTTP server written in Erlang, designed to serve dynamic web content efficiently. It leverages Erlang's lightweight concurrency model to handle thousands of simultaneous connections with minimal overhead. Its main value proposition is delivering robust performance for scalable, dynamic web applications.
Key Features:
  • High-performance Erlang/OTP architecture
  • Built-in support for dynamic content via ERL
  • Efficient handling of concurrent connections
  • Configurable as a reverse proxy or standalone server
Use Cases:
  • Serving dynamic web applications written in Erlang
  • High-concurrency APIs and real-time services
  • Embedded web interfaces for Erlang systems
Alternatives:
  • nginx – General-purpose web server and reverse proxy, not Erlang-native
  • Cowboy – Smaller Erlang HTTP server, often used with OTP applications
