Another debugging story I had: One time while I was running some server benchmarks, I was wondering why the new version was so slow. Turned out baseline was also slower, and after I turned off local AI model, it got restored!

I have a Fairphone 5, chose that mainly because of repairability. :)

I do, was using Grafana MCP to a local Grafana instance for QA-testing my web server.

I tried running a "vibe-code detector" (something similar to AI content detectors, but for code and websites) against one of my old, archived projects (I think it's fully hand-coded), and I found some false-positives (such as

A new major version of a web server that would be easier to debug, not just easy to setup. Because I think ease of setup without ease of debugging is a hyperfocus trap that ends up exhausting operators. I was working a lot on it recently...

Uh oh, this might look like a potentially memory-unsafe version of Rust...

I'm also building a network server with thread-per-core and io_uring, except it's a web server, it's written in Rust, and io_uring is provided by a fork of Monoio runtime (I forked it to make it work with Windows and FreeBSD)

Happy New Year! In 2025, I have learned Rust by creating a project in it (a web server), and learned a lot about web servers and reverse proxies along the way. I have seriously leveled up as a developer. I have also created what's now

This protocol definitely made securing the web easier. Thanks to it, I don't need to renew certificates manually (it's now done automatically), which can be tedious...

First, thank you all for the feedback and the support your have shown for Ferron 2, when it was a release candidate. Now that I released Ferron 2, I'm sharing the announcement blog post. What do you think?

But Ferron isn't a state management library for front-end frameworks, it's a web server!

Ah... I also saw one more person confused about the title... By the way the rewrite is still in Rust.

Ferron uses a different library for TLS - Rustls. You can read how Rustls compares to other TLS implementations, when it comes to implementation vulnerabilities, from the Rustls manual: https://docs.rs/rustls/latest&#x2

> If you just need some www server quickly pointing your domain to some other dude domain is not the way to go. Yeah. But as I said before, people installing Ferron on their servers don't need to use this demo. Oh, and people using

No problem! I'm rewriting the codebase of Ferron (the rewrite is still in Rust), to follow some suggestions people made for the web server (faster async runtime, different configuration format). The original codebase would have been bi

Thank you! Excited to see what will you serve with Ferron.

by dorianniemiec 1y ago
Thank you! Yes, graceful restarts in Ferron are supported on Linux, Unix, and alike. You just need to send a SIGHUP signal to Ferron process, or simply do "systemctl reload ferron" or "/etc/init.d/ferron reload

Thank you for the feedback! I did the reverse proxy benchmarks for NGINX, when someone opened a GitHub issue about missing NGINX benchmarks, and asked about benchmark comparisons. It turned out that yeah, Ferron is close to NGINX's rev

Thank you so much! I want to put a line from your comment on Ferron's website as social proof. :)
