Zeroserve: A Zero-Config Web Server Scriptable with eBPF
Originally published on su3.io — June 6, 2026
Summary
Zeroserve is a new open-source HTTPS server that reimagines web serving by using eBPF programs as its configuration layer — replacing traditional declarative config files (nginx-style location blocks, rewrite rules) with sandboxed eBPF middleware that runs on every request. Built entirely on io_uring with TLS 1.3, HTTP/2, and Encrypted Client Hello baked in, it beats nginx on throughput for most workloads on a single core. The project aims to be an alternative to nginx and Caddy, collapsing the config/script split into one programmable surface. It scored 177 points on Hacker News.
