Intro
Undertow is a lightweight server that is a subsystem of JBoss.
Undertow
The source code is here: https://github.com/undertow-io/ and it’s quite interesting to see java code again, after a long time with python/c++.
Documentation
Undertow documentation is pretty neat and can be found here. It states that the core part of Undertow is the lightweight async handlers.
Tutorial
There are many tutorials on the internet but the ones I recommended are: this and this, especially Baeldung tutorial.

DeploymentInfo servletBuilder = Servlets.deployment().setClassLoader(SimpleServer.class.getClassLoader())
.setDeploymentName(“myapp”).setContextPath(“/myapp”)
.addServlets(Servlets.servlet(“myservlet”,
