Use MRuby with H2O and Redis to build a Rack JSON API that servers 25,000+ requests per second.

Do you need a fast and lightweight JSON API app? It must be powerful, flexible, quick to develop and easy to deploy? There is a simple solution for all these requirements: to use Lotus gems to build it.

Lotus development is going well. This month, I’m proud to announce Lotus::Controller. It’s a small, powerful and fast Rack framework.

The beauty of Lotus is the composition of its frameworks. Each of them is well designed to achieve one and only one goal. The main advantage of this architecture is that delevopers can easily use and reuse those frameworks in countless ways. Lotus::Router accepts anonymous functions as endpoints. This feature can be used to build Sinatra with it.

Lotus::Router is a Rack compatible, lightweight and fast HTTP Router for Ruby. It is designed to work as a standalone framework or within a context of a Lotus application. It supports most of the HTTP verbs, fixed and partial string matching, redirect, namespaces, named routes and RESTful resource(s).
