zxyvbr/kayak

Kayak is a .NET-based event-driven I/O library designed for building high-performance HTTP and TCP servers. It provides a modular architecture that separates core networking, HTTP parsing, and CLI management, utilizing interface-based delegates for robust connection and transaction handling. The system supports command-line configuration, raw TCP socket management, and extensible server pipelines for handling HTTP requests and responses.

The project underwent a significant structural overhaul to support .NET 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010, introducing a new build system and separating TCP socket handling into a dedicated library. This period also saw the removal of legacy stream-based abstractions in favor of an observable-based architecture, alongside the addition of debugging utilities and documentation generation tools.

The codebase underwent a comprehensive architectural shift from C# events to interface-based delegates across the HTTP server, networking, and socket layers. This refactoring standardized the API with explicit interfaces and factory patterns to improve robustness, testability, and state management. The period also included the introduction of a CLI launcher and extensive test coverage to validate the new transaction pipeline and scheduling mechanisms.
