A Tale of 2.0 Cowboys
summary
Cowboy 2.0 claims a modern, HTTP/2‑ready Erlang server with concrete changes: new active‑supervisor style connection handling, a low‑level list‑of‑commands stream API, and modular stream handlers that move work into separate processes. Test coverage targets protocol fidelity with 2,000+ lines of HTTP/2 tests. It requires OTP 19+, ships tooling like Looking‑Glass tracing for performance debugging, and aims for a summer 2017 release candidate; early adopters report it already runs in production.
