Redbean

Redbean is an open source webserver in a zip executable that runs on six operating systems. The basic idea is if you want to build a web app that runs anywhere, then you download the redbean.com file, put your .html and .lua files inside it using the zip command, and then you've got a hermetic app you can deploy and share.

redbean embeds Lua, SQLite3?, and Mbed TLS? into a fork() driven application server that benchmarks at 1.1 million qps on a personal computer. It's got a live bestline REPL with code completion and a UNIX module too, that lets you directly use the Cosmopolitan Libc system call interface. redbean furthermore provides sandboxing and system call tracing for security. This makes redbean a great fit for when you want to build an app that's vertically integrated into a single tiny file that runs on nearly all PC and server hardware.

• empjustine/redbean-zipfile: Serve assets in zipfiles inside or outside of Redbean. This is some modifications made to Redbean to allow external programs to access the data files inside of a Redbean zip.
• GitHub - pkulchenko/fullmoon: Fast and minimalistic Redbean-based Lua web framework in one file.
