fasthttp

Fast HTTP implementation for Go.

fasthttp might not be for you!

fasthttp was designed for some high performance edge cases. Unless your server/client needs to handle thousands of small to medium requests per second and needs a consistent low millisecond response time fasthttp might not be for you. For most cases net/http is much better as it's easier to use and can handle more cases. For most cases you won't even notice the performance difference.

General info and links

Currently fasthttp is successfully used by VertaMedia in a production serving up to 200K rps from more than 1.5M concurrent keep-alive connections per physical server.

Switching from net/http to fasthttp

Unfortunately, fasthttp doesn't provide API identical to net/http. See the FAQ for details. There is net/http -> fasthttp handler converter, but it is better to write fasthttp request handlers by hand in order to use all of the fasthttp advantages (especially high performance :) ).

Important points:

Fasthttp works with RequestHandler functions instead of objects implementing Handler interface. Fortunately, it is easy to pass bound struct methods to fasthttp:

type MyHandler struct {
foobar string
}

// request handler in net/http style, i.e. method bound to MyHandler struct.
func (h *MyHandler) HandleFastHTTP(ctx *fasthttp.RequestCtx) {
// notice that we may access MyHandler properties here - see h.foobar.
fmt.Fprintf(ctx, "Hello, world! Requested path is %q. Foobar is %q",
    ctx.Path(), h.foobar)
}

// request handler in fasthttp style, i.e. just plain function.
func fastHTTPHandler(ctx *fasthttp.RequestCtx) {
fmt.Fprintf(ctx, "Hi there! RequestURI is %q", ctx.RequestURI())
}

// pass bound struct method to fasthttp
myHandler := &MyHandler{
foobar: "foobar",
}
fasthttp.ListenAndServe(":8080", myHandler.HandleFastHTTP)

// pass plain function to fasthttp
fasthttp.ListenAndServe(":8081", fastHTTPHandler)

The RequestHandler accepts only one argument - RequestCtx. It contains all the functionality required for http request processing and response writing. Below is an example of a simple request handler conversion from net/http to fasthttp.

// net/http request handler
requestHandler := func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
switch r.URL.Path {
case "/foo":
    fooHandler(w, r)
case "/bar":
    barHandler(w, r)
default:
    http.Error(w, "Unsupported path", http.StatusNotFound)
}
}

// the corresponding fasthttp request handler
requestHandler := func(ctx *fasthttp.RequestCtx) {
switch string(ctx.Path()) {
case "/foo":
    fooHandler(ctx)
case "/bar":
    barHandler(ctx)
default:
    ctx.Error("Unsupported path", fasthttp.StatusNotFound)
}
}

Fasthttp allows setting response headers and writing response body in an arbitrary order. There is no 'headers first, then body' restriction like in net/http. The following code is valid for fasthttp:

requestHandler := func(ctx *fasthttp.RequestCtx) {
// set some headers and status code first
ctx.SetContentType("foo/bar")
ctx.SetStatusCode(fasthttp.StatusOK)

// then write the first part of body
fmt.Fprintf(ctx, "this is the first part of body\n")

// then set more headers
ctx.Response.Header.Set("Foo-Bar", "baz")

// then write more body
fmt.Fprintf(ctx, "this is the second part of body\n")

// then override already written body
ctx.SetBody([]byte("this is completely new body contents"))

// then update status code
ctx.SetStatusCode(fasthttp.StatusNotFound)

// basically, anything may be updated many times before
// returning from RequestHandler.
//
// Unlike net/http fasthttp doesn't put response to the wire until
// returning from RequestHandler.
}

Fasthttp doesn't provide ServeMux, but there are more powerful third-party routers and web frameworks with fasthttp support:

Net/http code with simple ServeMux is trivially converted to fasthttp code:

// net/http code

m := &http.ServeMux{}
m.HandleFunc("/foo", fooHandlerFunc)
m.HandleFunc("/bar", barHandlerFunc)
m.Handle("/baz", bazHandler)

http.ListenAndServe(":80", m)

// the corresponding fasthttp code
m := func(ctx *fasthttp.RequestCtx) {
switch string(ctx.Path()) {
case "/foo":
    fooHandlerFunc(ctx)
case "/bar":
    barHandlerFunc(ctx)
case "/baz":
    bazHandler.HandlerFunc(ctx)
default:
    ctx.Error("not found", fasthttp.StatusNotFound)
}
}

fasthttp.ListenAndServe(":80", m)

Because creating a new channel for every request is just too expensive, so the channel returned by RequestCtx.Done() is only closed when the server is shutting down.

func main() {
fasthttp.ListenAndServe(":8080", fasthttp.TimeoutHandler(func(ctx *fasthttp.RequestCtx) {
    select {
    case <-ctx.Done():
        // ctx.Done() is only closed when the server is shutting down.
        log.Println("context cancelled")
        return
    case <-time.After(10 * time.Second):
        log.Println("process finished ok")
    }
}, time.Second*2, "timeout"))
}

net/http -> fasthttp conversion table:
- All the pseudocode below assumes w, r and ctx have these types:
```
var (
w http.ResponseWriter
r *http.Request
ctx *fasthttp.RequestCtx
)
```
- r.Body -> ctx.PostBody()
- r.URL.Path -> ctx.Path()
- r.URL -> ctx.URI()
- r.Method -> ctx.Method()
- r.Header -> ctx.Request.Header
- r.Header.Get() -> ctx.Request.Header.Peek()
- r.Host -> ctx.Host()
- r.Form -> ctx.QueryArgs() + ctx.PostArgs()
- r.PostForm -> ctx.PostArgs()
- r.FormValue() -> ctx.FormValue()
- r.FormFile() -> ctx.FormFile()
- r.MultipartForm -> ctx.MultipartForm()
- r.RemoteAddr -> ctx.RemoteAddr()
- r.RequestURI -> ctx.RequestURI()
- r.TLS -> ctx.IsTLS()
- r.Cookie() -> ctx.Request.Header.Cookie()
- r.Referer() -> ctx.Referer()
- r.UserAgent() -> ctx.UserAgent()
- w.Header() -> ctx.Response.Header
- w.Header().Set() -> ctx.Response.Header.Set()
- w.Header().Set("Content-Type") -> ctx.SetContentType()
- w.Header().Set("Set-Cookie") -> ctx.Response.Header.SetCookie()
- w.Write() -> ctx.Write(), ctx.SetBody(), ctx.SetBodyStream(), ctx.SetBodyStreamWriter()
- w.WriteHeader() -> ctx.SetStatusCode()
- w.(http.Hijacker).Hijack() -> ctx.Hijack()
- http.Error() -> ctx.Error()
- http.FileServer() -> fasthttp.FSHandler(), fasthttp.FS
- http.ServeFile() -> fasthttp.ServeFile()
- http.Redirect() -> ctx.Redirect()
- http.NotFound() -> ctx.NotFound()
- http.StripPrefix() -> fasthttp.PathRewriteFunc
VERY IMPORTANT! Fasthttp disallows holding references to RequestCtx or to its' members after returning from RequestHandler. Otherwise data races are inevitable. Carefully inspect all the net/http request handlers converted to fasthttp whether they retain references to RequestCtx or to its' members after returning. RequestCtx provides the following band aids for this case:
- Wrap RequestHandler into TimeoutHandler.
- Call TimeoutError before returning from RequestHandler if there are references to RequestCtx or to its' members. See the example for more details.

Use this brilliant tool - race detector - for detecting and eliminating data races in your program. If you detected data race related to fasthttp in your program, then there is high probability you forgot calling TimeoutError before returning from RequestHandler.

Blind switching from net/http to fasthttp won't give you performance boost. While fasthttp is optimized for speed, its' performance may be easily saturated by slow RequestHandler. So profile and optimize your code after switching to fasthttp. For instance, use quicktemplate instead of html/template.

Performance optimization tips for multi-core systems

Use reuseport listener.
Run a separate server instance per CPU core with GOMAXPROCS=1.
Pin each server instance to a separate CPU core using taskset.
Ensure the interrupts of multiqueue network card are evenly distributed between CPU cores. See this article for details.
Use the latest version of Go as each version contains performance improvements.

Fasthttp best practices

Do not allocate objects and []byte buffers - just reuse them as much as possible. Fasthttp API design encourages this.
sync.Pool is your best friend.
Profile your program in production. go tool pprof --alloc_objects your-program mem.pprof usually gives better insights for optimization opportunities than go tool pprof your-program cpu.pprof.
Write tests and benchmarks for hot paths.
Avoid conversion between []byte and string, since this may result in memory allocation+copy. Fasthttp API provides functions for both []byte and string - use these functions instead of converting manually between []byte and string. There are some exceptions - see this wiki page for more details.
Verify your tests and production code under race detector on a regular basis.
Prefer quicktemplate instead of html/template in your webserver.

Tricks with `[]byte` buffers

The following tricks are used by fasthttp. Use them in your code too.

Standard Go functions accept nil buffers


var (
// both buffers are uninitialized
dst []byte
src []byte
)
dst = append(dst, src...)  // is legal if dst is nil and/or src is nil
copy(dst, src)  // is legal if dst is nil and/or src is nil
(string(src) == "")  // is true if src is nil
(len(src) == 0)  // is true if src is nil
src = src[:0]  // works like a charm with nil src

// this for loop doesn't panic if src is nil for i, ch := range src { doSomething(i, ch) }


So throw away nil checks for `[]byte` buffers from you code. For example,
```go
srcLen := 0
if src != nil {
    srcLen = len(src)
}

becomes

srcLen := len(src)

String may be appended to []byte buffer with append
```
dst = append(dst, "foobar"...)
```

[]byte buffer may be extended to its' capacity.

buf := make([]byte, 100)
a := buf[:10]  // len(a) == 10, cap(a) == 100.
b := a[:100]  // is valid, since cap(a) == 100.

All fasthttp functions accept nil []byte buffer

statusCode, body, err := fasthttp.Get(nil, "http://google.com/")
uintBuf := fasthttp.AppendUint(nil, 1234)

String and []byte buffers may converted without memory allocations


func b2s(b []byte) string {
return *(*string)(unsafe.Pointer(&b))
}

func s2b(s string) (b []byte) { bh := (reflect.SliceHeader)(unsafe.Pointer(&b)) sh := (reflect.StringHeader)(unsafe.Pointer(&s)) bh.Data = sh.Data bh.Cap = sh.Len bh.Len = sh.Len return b }



### Warning:
This is an **unsafe** way, the result string and `[]byte` buffer share the same bytes.

**Please make sure not to modify the bytes in the `[]byte` buffer if the string still survives!**

## FAQ

* *Why creating yet another http package instead of optimizing net/http?*

  Because net/http API limits many optimization opportunities.
  For example:
  * net/http Request object lifetime isn't limited by request handler execution
    time. So the server must create a new request object per each request instead
    of reusing existing objects like fasthttp does.
  * net/http headers are stored in a `map[string][]string`. So the server
    must parse all the headers, convert them from `[]byte` to `string` and put
    them into the map before calling user-provided request handler.
    This all requires unnecessary memory allocations avoided by fasthttp.
  * net/http client API requires creating a new response object per each request.

* *Why fasthttp API is incompatible with net/http?*

  Because net/http API limits many optimization opportunities. See the answer
  above for more details. Also certain net/http API parts are suboptimal
  for use:
  * Compare [net/http connection hijacking](https://pkg.go.dev/net/http#Hijacker)
    to [fasthttp connection hijacking](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/valyala/fasthttp#RequestCtx.Hijack).
  * Compare [net/http Request.Body reading](https://pkg.go.dev/net/http#Request)
    to [fasthttp request body reading](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/valyala/fasthttp#RequestCtx.PostBody).

* *Why fasthttp doesn't support HTTP/2.0 and WebSockets?*

  [HTTP/2.0 support](https://github.com/fasthttp/http2) is in progress. [WebSockets](https://github.com/fasthttp/websockets) has been done already.
  Third parties also may use [RequestCtx.Hijack](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/valyala/fasthttp#RequestCtx.Hijack)
  for implementing these goodies.

* *Are there known net/http advantages comparing to fasthttp?*

  Yes:
  * net/http supports [HTTP/2.0 starting from go1.6](https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/net/http2).
  * net/http API is stable, while fasthttp API constantly evolves.
  * net/http handles more HTTP corner cases.
  * net/http can stream both request and response bodies
  * net/http can handle bigger bodies as it doesn't read the whole body into memory
  * net/http should contain less bugs, since it is used and tested by much
    wider audience.

* *Why fasthttp API prefers returning `[]byte` instead of `string`?*

  Because `[]byte` to `string` conversion isn't free - it requires memory
  allocation and copy. Feel free wrapping returned `[]byte` result into
  `string()` if you prefer working with strings instead of byte slices.
  But be aware that this has non-zero overhead.

* *Which GO versions are supported by fasthttp?*

  Go 1.21.x and newer. Older versions might work, but won't officially be supported.

* *Please provide real benchmark data and server information*

  See [this issue](https://github.com/valyala/fasthttp/issues/4).

* *Are there plans to add request routing to fasthttp?*

  There are no plans to add request routing into fasthttp.
  Use third-party routers and web frameworks with fasthttp support:

    * [fasthttp-routing](https://github.com/qiangxue/fasthttp-routing)
    * [router](https://github.com/fasthttp/router)
    * [gramework](https://github.com/gramework/gramework)
    * [lu](https://github.com/vincentLiuxiang/lu)
    * [atreugo](https://github.com/savsgio/atreugo)
    * [Fiber](https://github.com/gofiber/fiber)
    * [Gearbox](https://github.com/gogearbox/gearbox)

* *I detected data race in fasthttp!*

  Cool! [File a bug](https://github.com/valyala/fasthttp/issues/new). But before
  doing this check the following in your code:

  * Make sure there are no references to [RequestCtx](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/valyala/fasthttp#RequestCtx)
  or to its' members after returning from [RequestHandler](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/valyala/fasthttp#RequestHandler).
  * Make sure you call [TimeoutError](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/valyala/fasthttp#RequestCtx.TimeoutError)
  before returning from [RequestHandler](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/valyala/fasthttp#RequestHandler)
  if there are references to [RequestCtx](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/valyala/fasthttp#RequestCtx)
  or to its' members, which may be accessed by other goroutines.
