8 I'm so tired of modern web development. You want to spin up a simple web server, and suddenly you’re wrestling with a mountain of dependencies. Express, Fastify, whatever the flavor of the week is. They all promise simplicity, but dump a black hole of `node_modules` onto your machine. Have you ever actually looked inside? It’s insane. And all of them use React, Svelte, or whatever the current trend is for modern development. One time, I created a single React file using Bun and it had over 18k lines of JavaScript code lmao. And for what? To handle a simple HTTP request for a text file?

15 ## So, I decided to build my own network library from scratch, in C.

17 I call it `seobeo` because that is how Korean people say "server" with an accent. The goal is simple: create something fast, lightweight, and completely transparent. No magic, no hidden layers. Just a pure, unadulterated networking layer, with a web server interface built on top of it.

21 I’d never really dealt with network libraries, nor had I written much C outside of a few contract jobs, so starting was a learning curve. I did a quick Google search and found an [amazing guide to network programming](https://beej.us/guide/bgnet/html/split/). In it, Beej talks about networking from scratch and explains many socket library functions in detail. He provides examples and explains the "why" behind the setup, so I highly recommend people check that out first.

23 After that, I looked at a few examples from [Eskil Steenberg’s](https://www.google.com/search?q=https://www.quelsolaar.com/about/index.html) [GitHub repo](https://github.com/valiet/quel_solaar/tree/main/Testify), which was super useful for seeing how he approached API design.

27 The whole library is built around a central `Seobeo_Handle` struct. This struct handles all server-related information, holding everything from the socket file descriptor to the read/write buffers, as well as SSL-related data. This allows API callers to decide how they want to serialize the bytes and write/read from them.

61 From here, it was incredibly simple to create the web client and server logic, since all I had to do was send a string of bytes to request information. It was refreshing to be able to set exact header values without going through a library; receiving information byte-by-byte was actually fun.

81 **While the logic is simple, I made plenty of mistakes along the way. I eventually had to create my own utility library (using Arenas, dynamic arrays, and hashmaps) just to make implementing the basic logic easier to manage.**

85 On the server side, I kept the API dead simple: the server is granted access to a folder, and you can add your own router logic before initializing the server. As you can see below, your custom routing is always checked first, followed by static paths. I had to write a lot of code to handle different data types, but the logic remained straightforward. If you want to add a custom header, you just add it to the response hashmap.

114 No dependency injection, no middleware chains, no magic. Just a function that takes a request and returns a response. I updated the API so it can run as a multi-threaded, asynchronous process using system-level libraries like `epoll` or `kqueue`. I tested it with `Locust` at over 2,000 requests per second (my internet’s limit, lol) without Cloudflare, and it worked perfectly.

118 But here’s the best part: the final executable for my entire website, running on `seobeo`, is just **81 kB** (excluding static assets) and uses only **1.1 MB** of memory before server-side caching.

120 That’s smaller than the `package.json` file of most modern web projects. It’s a rounding error in the world of Express or Python web frameworks. I understand that it doesn't have every feature, and people might worry about security (though I’m not too concerned since the server runs as a limited user with just static files), but it’s still a massive victory in my book.

122 I know what you’re thinking. "But you have to write so much code" or "This code sucks" or whatever. And you're probably right. I have to manually craft HTTP headers. I have to manage my own memory with arena allocators. I even wrote my own integration test framework just to verify the HTTP client.

124 But I’ll take that trade-off any day of the week.

126 Why? Because I actually know what’s going on. The whole stack is right there in front of me. Plus, in the age of cloud infrastructure, most of the complex stuff is handled upstream anyway. My typical setup is **Cloudflare -> Nginx -> my server**. Cloudflare handles HTTPS; Nginx handles proxying and load balancing. Why should my application server bother with SSL handshakes when it’s sitting deep inside a trusted network? It’s redundant and just adds another layer of complexity.

128 FYI, I am running this website on seobeo library and everything you see in this website from start to finish is written by me from now on.

132 I’m planning to build out a WebSocket layer and an MCP (Message Control Protocol) implementation for some other crazy projects I have in mind, just to see how complicated they are to write because I like writing code. [Link to Library](https://zenbu.babocoder.com/file/tip/seobeo);
