### :zap: Simple performance
µWebSockets.js is a web server bypass for Node.js that reimplements eventing, networking, encryption, web protocols, routing and pub/sub in highly optimized C++. As such, µWebSockets.js delivers web serving for Node.js, **[8.5x that of Fastify](https://alexhultman.medium.com/serving-100k-requests-second-from-a-fanless-raspberry-pi-4-over-ethernet-fdd2c2e05a1e)** and at least **[10x that of Socket.IO](https://medium.com/swlh/100k-secure-websockets-with-raspberry-pi-4-1ba5d2127a23)**. It is also the built-in **[web server of Bun](https://bun.sh/)**.
* We *recommend, for simplicity* installing with `bun install uNetworking/uWebSockets.js#v20.33.0` or any such [release](https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets.js/releases). Use [official builds](https://nodejs.org/en/download) of Node.js LTS.
* Browse the [documentation](https://unetworking.github.io/uWebSockets.js/generated/) and see the [main repo](https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets). There are tons of [examples](examples) but here's the gist of it all:
```javascript
/* Non-SSL is simply App() */
require('uWebSockets.js').SSLApp({
/* There are more SSL options, cut for brevity */
key_file_name: 'misc/key.pem',
cert_file_name: 'misc/cert.pem',
}).ws('/*', {
/* There are many common helper features */
idleTimeout: 32,
maxBackpressure: 1024,
maxPayloadLength: 512,
compression: DEDICATED_COMPRESSOR_3KB,
/* For brevity we skip the other events (upgrade, open, ping, pong, close) */
message: (ws, message, isBinary) => {
/* You can do app.publish('sensors/home/temperature', '22C') kind of pub/sub as well */
/* Here we echo the message back, using compression if available */
let ok = ws.send(message, isBinary, true);
}
}).get('/*', (res, req) => {
/* It does Http as well */
res.writeStatus('200 OK').writeHeader('IsExample', 'Yes').end('Hello there!');
}).listen(9001, (listenSocket) => {
if (listenSocket) {
console.log('Listening to port 9001');
}
});
```
