OKWS is a Web server specialized for secure and fast delivery of dynamic content. It provides Web developers with a small set of tools powerful enough to build complex Web-based systems. Despite its emphasis on security, OKWS shows performance improvements compared to popular systems: when servicing fully dynamic, non-disk-bound database workloads, OKWS's throughput and responsiveness exceed that of Apache 2, Flash and Haboob. Experience with OKWS in a commercial deployment suggests it can reduce hardware and system management costs, while providing security guarantees absent in current systems. In the end, lessons gleaned from the OKWS project provide insight into how operating systems might better facilitate secure application design.
