![]() We now describe how to build a hello world application from start to finish, including setting up erlang.mk for building, and using relx for generating the release. All concepts are not explained in details of course, but we don't need to at this point, we just want things to be working. |

Cowboy
Cowboy is a small, fast and modular HTTP server written in Erlang.
Goals
Cowboy aims to provide a complete HTTP stack in a small code base. It is optimized for low latency and low memory usage, in parts because it uses binary strings.
Cowboy provides routing capabilities, selectively dispatching requests to handlers written in Erlang.
Because it uses Ranch for managing connections, Cowboy can easily be embedded in any other application.
No parameterized module. No process dictionary. Clean Erlang code.
Sponsors
The SPDY protocol development is sponsored by LeoFS Cloud Storage.
