Blazing Fast Static Site Server Built with Neovim and Lua
2025-08-18
A developer built nvim-web-server, a Neovim plugin written in Lua that serves HTTP requests directly from Neovim buffers. Surprisingly, it's faster than Nginx! This is due to LuaJIT's efficiency and Neovim's integration with the libuv library. The author successfully deployed this server on an old ThinkPad, ensuring security through Docker, AppArmor, and seccomp. This is a creative and efficient example showcasing the powerful extensibility of editors.
