Servify.js

Its time to ditch Express.js and messy frameworks

About

Why Servify.js?

Servify.js is a simple, quick, and easy to use server deployment tool. It allows you to run a HTTP server using JavaScript. It allows more functionality than just using the built in Node HTTP module, is easier to use than Express.js, and faster than Hapi.js.

Don't Want to Learn a New Framework?

Then don't. Servify.js is not a framework; its an API that allows to you to do powerful things in JavaScript. No special knowledge needed.

Quick Setup

As long as Node.js is installed, Servify.js can be started up in a couple of seconds with only a few lines of code.

Customization

With features such as auto-routing, custom working directories, scheduled restarts, custom favicons, and more, the possibilities are endless. Run a blog, make an API, or anything else!
