Suave – zero to hero of HTTP APIs
summary
Shows how to build HTTP APIs in F# with Suave by composing Suave webparts into a pipeline, with concrete demos: a chat using SSE and WebSockets backed by a statically initialized hub, JSON endpoints with explicit utf-8, and streamed ZIP responses. Includes unit-style integration using server-as-test + Expecto, Swagger type-provider generation, Fable front-end interop, Linux deployment notes, and plans to improve GC, parser speed and distributed persistent channels for load‑balanced realtime subscriptions.
