WTF man, don't you understand what stable means?
WTF is wrong with you?!
If you are watching this talk, you probably agree.
HTTP/2 is concurrent, so Cowboy must also be.
Even if we are required to make small backward incompatible changes, overall the Cowboy 2 design will stand the test of time.
You can quote me on that.
Misultin, HTTP/2, Windows
HTTP/2, HTTP/1.1, Websocket
HTTP/1.0, SPDY/3.1, SPDY/3
All parsing code will be in Cowlib.
Cowboy will deal strictly with protocol logic and its own features.
Do as little as possible, allocate as little as possible, and provide a pluggable interface for power users.
Connection → Protocol → Streams
cowboy_clear → cowboy_http
cowboy_tls → ALPN → Protocol
Erlang/OTP 18+
Same mechanism for:
A stream is an HTTP request/response pair identified by a unique stream identifier.
A stream can be initiated by the server using a promise.
Pie tastes good, right? Just like Cowboy 2.
Favor convenience, elegance and simplicity. No pitfalls. Straightforward.
Middlewares → User handlers
Default: cowboy_router → cowboy_handler
No more 'error' tuple; ok, suspend, stop
I would like to solve the fact that routing rules are copied to all connection processes. Perhaps ets?
Required for better HATEOAS support.
Give module name and bindings, get URL.
Add query string to URL (optional).
Use constraints all across high-level Cowboy.
Improve error handling interface, add human errors.
Unify init and terminate callbacks
Simplify init return value: {ok | Mod, State}
Do everything in init/2
Add behaviour with optional callbacks
Remove known_content_type callback
Immutable
3 levels of access to values:
Extract, validate and convert values in one step.
#{lang := Lang} = cowboy_req:match_qs(
[{lang, nonempty, <<"en-US">>}], Req)
Handler suffix becomes _h
Settle on 'stop' instead of 'shutdown' or 'halt'
Cowlib provides parsers for nearly everything
Connection process switches to Websocket protocol
Websocket permessage-deflate support added.
Websocket UTF-8 validation optimized.
An option to disable validation will be added.
Gun is an asynchronous HTTP client with support for HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, SPDY/3 and Websocket, designed for long-running connections.
Erlang.mk is a Makefile based build tool that just works.
No Makefile knowledge required to use it
My users need a build tool that actually works.
Rebar feature | Erlang.mk equivalent |
---|---|
rebar.config | variables |
rebar.config.script | variables and/or rules |
rebar hook | rules |
rebar2 plugin | rules |
rebar3 plugin | rules |

All the variables that ultimately build the .app file are either optional or automatically defined when bootstrapping.
Adding a dependency becomes a one step process.
Make 4 makes supporting Windows possible without needing the whole Unix toolchain.
Before this there are much bigger Windows issues to solve to make the experience smooth, unrelated to Erlang.mk
This book is the missing developer manual. It contains advice from my experience working with Cowboy.
