SwitchPipe ist ein Web-Anwendungs-Server oder genauer ein Web-Anwendungs-Proßess-Manager und Request-Proxy.

SwitchPipe can:
* automatically manage clusters of multiple applications, including port number management
* maintain and update application configurations "on the fly"
* timeout any backend app instances that haven't been used for a certain period of time
* keep process and memory usage to a minimum, as backend app clusters don't need to run constantly
* adhere your personal choices for timeouts and maximum numbers of processes

Furthermore, it's:
* super easy to configure
* the easiest way to deploy multiple HTTP-talking backend applications
* a real step forward in multi-app, clustered, multi-language, multi-framework Web application deployment!
* for Linux and OS X only so far
* easiness over performance (although it's not slow!)
