Google Summer of Code 2015

Introduction

For this year, we will be accepting applications for both OSv itself, and Seastar, our newly released framework for writing asynchronous and non-blocking applications. If you want to know more about Seastar, take a look at seastar's website. Note that for development simplicity, much of seastar's functionality is available on Linux. If you select a Seastar project, chances are you can code most of your project without using OSv at all. You will, however, be required to demonstrate your final deliverable running on OSv.

Core OSv projects

Seastar framework projects

Seastar application projects

We would like to have applications that demonstrate the potential for performance and scalability of the seastar framework.

We currently have a version of memcached and a simple httpd that serves requests from memory. Both perform better than their standard counterparts.

Possible ideas include: extending httpd to be a fully-featured http server, ... , or coming up with an application on your own.

Please be as descriptive as possible. Your proposal should include:

Difficulty Level: application-dependent
