ActionHero is a multi-transport API Server with integrated cluster capabilities and delayed tasks. The goal of actionhero is to create an easy-to-use toolkit for making reusable & scalable APIs. Clients connected to an actionhero server can consume the api, consume static content, and communicate with each other. ActionHero is cluster-ready, with built in support for background tasks, 0-downtime deploys, and more.
Currently actionhero supports the following out of the box...
- Web Clients: HTTP, HTTPS
- Socket Clients: TCP (telnet), TLS
- Web Socket Clients: HTTP, HTTPS
... and you can also make your own servers and transports.
