For creating a high-performance server, which one would you suggest: sandbird or dyad?

What is their primary difference?

rxi commented 8 years ago

Sandbird is a tiny embeddable HTTP server, where as dyad is a small library for TCP networking. Both the projects are meant for small servers: sandbird being suitable for things like web interfaces or debug interfaces for long-running processes; dyad for things like networked games, simple client/servers or a debug console server.

For a high-performance server you shouldn't use either library, instead check out something like libuv.
