Mako Server

The Mako Server is a compact, ready-to-run web and application server that delivers powerful Lua-based web capabilities with zero setup, just download and go. Its tiny footprint hides a feature-rich engine packed with asynchronous non-blocking sockets and a complete web framework

All-in-one solution

• Includes a lightweight database (SQLite), HTTP(S) client/server, SMTP support, WebSockets, and IoT/industrial protocols like MQTT, OPC-UA, and Modbus.
• Comes pre-bundled with Lua Server Pages (LSP), letting you write dynamic scripts alongside HTML; no extra components required

Powerful features—just run the binary

• Run on Windows, Linux, macOS, embedded Linux, (and even QNX)
• Supports automated TLS via Let's Encrypt (ACME), optionally with DNS-01 through built-in SharkTrustX integration for seamless cert management.
• Includes SMQ broker (a lightweight pub/sub IoT protocol similar to MQTT) to support real-time messaging out of the box

Packed with batteries—Lua, LSP, async I/O, security, IoT protocols—Mako Server delivers a modern web platform that truly just works. No heavy frameworks, no config files, no fuss—drop the binary or compile the code and start coding.
