elli-lib/elli

Elli is an Erlang-based web server designed for building HTTP APIs, featuring a simple request-response model with middleware support. It provides core capabilities for handling HTTP traffic, including SSL/TLS encryption, automatic compression, and request pre- and post-processing through a configurable middleware system. The system includes utilities for performance benchmarking and a comprehensive test suite for validation.

Added new scripts in the bin directory to support performance testing and validation. This includes ab.sh for running Apache Benchmarks, test.py for measuring request-per-second throughput using Eventlet, and chunked.py for testing chunked transfer encoding. Additionally, shell.escript was added to load the elli application modules.

Elli is released as version 3.3.0, introducing a configurable middleware system that allows request pre-processing, response post-processing, and request short-circuiting. The release adds full SSL/TLS support for secure connections, a compression middleware for automatic gzip/deflate encoding, and helper modules for testing callbacks. It also includes example callback implementations, a request helper module for accessing headers, query parameters, and body data, and updates the application source to include all new modules.

This change introduces the core Erlang web server for HTTP APIs, providing a simple request-response model with middleware support, instrumentation, and SSL capabilities. The release includes a comprehensive CHANGELOG, an overview of features and extensions, and a README with installation and usage examples. The project is configured with rebar3, targeting OTP 24+, and includes necessary build files (rebar.config, elvis.config) and a MIT license.

The project's test suite has been migrated from EUnit to the Common Test framework. This change introduces new Common Test suite modules (elli\_SUITE, elli\_handover\_SUITE, elli\_http\_SUITE, elli\_middleware\_SUITE, and elli\_ssl\_SUITE) along with supporting test utilities (elli\_test.hrl, elli\_metrics\_middleware.erl) and SSL test certificates, replacing the previous EUnit-based tests.
