Show HN: I'm rewriting a web server written in Rust for speed and ease of use Hello! I got quite some feedback on a web server I'm building, so I'm rewriting the server to be faster and easier to use. I (and maybe some other contributors?) have optimized the web server performance, especially for static file serving and reverse proxying (the last use case I optimized for very recently). I also picked a different configuration format and specification, what I believe is easier to write. Automatic TLS is also enabled by default out of the box, you don't need to even enable it manually, like it was in the original server I was building. Yesterday, I released the first release candidate of my web server's rewrite. I'm so excited for this. I have even seen some serving websites with the rewritten web server, even if the rewrite was in beta. Any feedback is welcome! https://ferron.sh/ October 21, 2025 at 12:26AM
