Serve a list of 100 albums with a REST like interface (JSON) and measure the performance with wrk

• server should run on port 8000
• server app should be optimized for speed (release mode) when possible
• output should be RAW JSON prepared in advance
• albums should be pre-loaded, no database or file access
• benchmark all apps on the same machine with minimum apps loaded
  • wrk -d 20 -t 1 -c 1 http://127.0.0.1:8000/albums (client with 1 thread and 1 connection)
  • wrk -d 20 http://127.0.0.1:8000/albums(client with 2 threads and 10 connections - default)
  • wrk -d 20 -t 16 -c 500 http://127.0.0.1:8000/albums (client with 16 threads and 500 connections)
