Event-Driven I/O & Connection Handling

Explains the use of event-driven, non-blocking I/O with epoll/io_uring to reduce blocking and unnecessary context switching.

Event-Driven I/O & Connection Handling

The event loop should keep active work moving without dedicating a heavyweight execution context to every idle connection. Linux-native primitives such as epoll and, where appropriate, io_uring provide different trade-offs that should be measured against actual Turbnix workloads.

Ideas first. Evidence next.

Turbnix engineering claims should ultimately be validated with reproducible tests. Design goals, early observations and measured production results are kept distinct so the project can improve from evidence rather than assumptions.
