+= Cowboy
+
+Cowboy is a small, fast and modern HTTP server for Erlang/OTP.
+
+== Goals
+
+Cowboy aims to provide a *complete* HTTP stack in a *small* code base.
+It is optimized for *low latency* and *low memory usage*, in part
+because it uses *binary strings*.
+
+Cowboy provides *routing* capabilities, selectively dispatching requests
+to handlers written in Erlang.
+
+Because it uses Ranch for managing connections, Cowboy can easily be
+*embedded* in any other application.
+
+Cowboy is *clean* and *well tested* Erlang code.
+
+== Sponsors
+
+The project is currently sponsored by https://sameroom.io[Sameroom].
+
+The original SPDY implementation was sponsored by
+http://leo-project.net/leofs/[LeoFS Cloud Storage].
+It has since been superseded by HTTP/2.
