I love apache as much as anyone, cut my teeth with it and still work with it plenty. It doesn’t strike me as odd to question its fit for people who have more experience with containers. If there’s a reverse proxy in the front, one may just need business logic in the back.

I'm surprised people still actively use it and it seems on par with nginx, at least according to https://www.netcraft.com/blog/january-2023-web-server-survey...

Why surprised? It's rock solid, stable, fast, and does pretty much everything you need, and nothing is hidden behind premium tiers, unlike nginx where they leave bugs and awful behaviour in the open source version that aren't in the premium ones (e.g. nginx used to only resolve hostname entries on start-up, https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,215830,215832#msg-215832 , so if you used a hostname in proxy_pass, and the…

I'm surprised you're surprised. It's a good web server.
I'm surprised HN hasn't added a feature where if you start a comment with "I'm surprised" it asks you to tick a box to confirm that you're really sure you're contributing to the discussion.

I am actively trying to remove apache from a large chunk of projects mainly because at this point it is being used as a poor reverse proxy and not a web server which is its core competency.
