## Introduction to The Pluton Framework



Pluton is a simple framework which makes network applications

lighter-weight, easier to debug, lower latency *and* potentially less

resource intensive. The core features of the framework include:



* an interface which encourages and simplifies parallel requests to reduce latency (without the complexity of threads!)



* a convenient, fast and simple API available in C, C++, php, perl

and Java on FreeBSD and RHEL.

* encapsulation of services into self-contained, independent

executables

* a serialization-agnostic interface between clients and services -

you get to choose fast or pretty



Pluton was designed and developed by Mark Delany at Yahoo! and is used

across many parts of the Yahoo network to substantially reduce

web-serving latency and increase resiliency.
