On: Show HN: I'm rewriting a web server written in Rust for speed and ease of use

Edit: just tried it for serving a fastapi. It's fantastic. Instant TLS via Let's Encrypt. There may be other webservers that are equally easy, but this one is certainly easier than Apache or ngninx, which I used so far. Love it.

Reach out to the guys at Kamal. They wrote their own reverse proxy because they thought Traefik was too complex, but they might be super happy about yours if Ferron is more powerful yet easy to configure because it might solve more of Kamal’s problems.

Not affiliated with Kamal at all, just an idea.

They wrote their proxy because the declarative configuration of the existing proxies does not fit into their deployment flow.

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

Absolutely, go for it. Feel free to use my real name if you want to: https://linkedin.com/in/tcwalther

I previously founded and sold an AI startup to Spotify; that doesn't actually make me smarter than the average HN user (mostly just more lucky) but it probably looks nice on a social proof section.
