simple-server

a simple multithreaded TCP/HTTP server built with Rust

components

HTTP server

which listens to the incoming TCP/HTTP requests and handle them

TCP Listener:

listens to incoming tcp connections and bound be specified address

connection handler:

handles the incoming tcp streams / requests by triggering a specified functionality

pool:

a thread pool containing a specified number of threads to delegate the request handling work to

ThreadPool

which have a pool of workers that are waiting for jobs to do, thus enabling handling more than on job at a time channels [multi-producer single consumer] are used as a way of communication between threads

ThreadPool:

workers: a vector of workers own the recieving end of the channel and waiting for jobs to handle sender end of the channel: used by the thread pool to send jobs to workers

worker:

has an id and a thread the thread is spawned and loops over the receiving end of the channel waiting for jobs to handle once it receives a job, it executes it
