This server was built for a specific purpose: storing huge amounts of critical delayed job descriptions. Publishing and retrieving jobs is done via HTTP as it's the easiest transport protocol for most stacks. KyotoCabinet database is chosen for its capabilities to tune the speed and the size of the storage depending on the nature of its data and the flow of the app.
