Homme.io: High-Performance Social Platform

Homme core is the underlying engine powering the homme.io multi-user social ecosystem. Built on a non-blocking asynchronous architecture, the platform handles complex relational logic—including user profiles, fine-grained access control, community groups, and media galleries—with zero heavy framework overhead.

Key Features

Asynchronous SSR Engine: Server-Side Rendering driven directly by OpenResty and LuaJIT, bypassing profligate Node.js/JVM runtimes.
Native C API Extensions: Standalone mathematical computations compiled as native dynamic libraries (.so) and loaded directly into the Lua runtime via the core Lua C API (lua_State), minimizing processing overhead.
In-Memory State Management: High-velocity caching and relational metadata resolution backed entirely by atomic Redis data structures.
Zero-Container Bare-Metal Deployment: Engineered to run directly on native Linux kernel sockets, completely removing Docker encapsulation overhead.

Performance Profile

Technical Stack: OpenResty (LuaJIT), C (Lua C API), Redis, JavaScript.
Server Latency: Stable < 3 ms page generation time under real-world production conditions.
Throughput: ~780 RPS achieved on a single, legacy hardware thread (1 vCPU Xeon 4114).
Media Optimization: Dedicated storage subsystem managing a 15k+ high-resolution photo archive aligned with local NVMe storage limits.
