There is something funny going on in the benchmarking section. If you look at the charts, they don't benchmark the same servers in 4 examples. Each of the 4 charts have data for Ferron and Caddy, but then include data for lighttpd, apache, nginx and traefik selectively for each chart, such that each chart has exactly four selected servers. That doesn't inspire confidence.
> That doesn't inspire confidence. The problems start even higher on the page in "The problem with popular web servers" section that doesn't inspire confidence either. From "nginx configs can become verbose" (because nginx is not "just" a web server [1]) to non-sequiturs like "Many popular web servers (including Apache and NGINX) are written in programming languages and use libraries that aren't designed for memory s…
if this is a sense of the logic put into the application, no memory safe language will save it from the terrible bugs!
Looking at the graphs, I would recommend it would have been better to market it as "just as performant as nginx and htproxy" instead of "faster than all ...". While highlighting the simplicity as the added benefit above those all.
Looks awesome, but the docs page seems to be returning a 200 yet is completely empty and is showing `x-ferron-cache: HIT` header. Maybe a misconfiguration somewhere?
