Kore

C and Python web application platform for writing scalable, concurrent web processes.

Kore is a web application platform for writing web processes in C, with an optional Python API for page handlers. An application is built as a dynamic library or as a single binary. Kore is installed with make and make install from a signed release tarball, or with Homebrew on macOS.

A running application is a parent process that the documentation says is stopped by sending it a SIGQUIT or SIGTERM signal. Asynchronous PostgreSQL support is optional and is enabled at build time.

Worth knowing

The documentation covers only the 4.2.x releases.
