ferron ⚡

Here it is - Ferron 2 is here! 🥳 A faster, easier to use, more powerful web server. It can even obtain TLS certificates for you...

@stupidtechtakes But LLVMs? For sure (clang++)! 😅

???????

@Karthik07165 And don't forget about the correlation! 😉

Today I have started learning about observability part in DevOps and what are important metrics to understand better 1.Metrics - shows what failed in our workflow 2.Loging - show logs about what failes and its message 3. Trace - trace which part failed.

@IamAroke But where's Rust? 😅

FastAPI (Python) and Gin (Go) are two of the most loved frameworks for new APIs right now.

@HSVSphere Or a snake eating itself

Imagine a burrito eating a burritio.

@HSVSphere At first sight, we thought "openrabbit"

Was looking for a domain for a meme project and openrabbi[dot]ai is already taken?? 😭😭😭

@cyb3rnaut_ But our VPS isn't running NixOS (it's running regular Debian instead)... 😅

@ferron_web security.sudo-rs.enable = true;

Wanted to install some new service in our VPS, but the install script used "sudo", but "sudo" wasn't found, so basically set "alias sudo=sudo-rs"... 😅

Would you still understand what's going on in draft landing page section (but icons went wrong 😅)?

Vibe-coded infrastructure be like: 🎉 CONTROL PLANE

Some provisional web server benchmark results... 😄

Having a hard time building OpenLiteSpeed for web server benchmark setup, having to patch CMake build files, build scripts, and even some source C files... 🥲

@HSVSphere What about the seahorse emoji?

There needs to be a coal emoji.

@HSVSphere What about Mythos 5?

Too many anti-AI dogmatists are here, slamming Microsoft (as "Microslop")... But Windows just works! So let's just use the WISA stack (Windows Server, IIS, MS SQL Server, ASP . NET) instead of Linux servers... Why would we even build a web server for Linux!?

Today, Ferron 3.0.0-beta.8 got released. This is a smaller, focused release. After several betas focused on observability and production hardening, beta.8 decreases friction writing "ferron.conf" configurations.

@Sahilsagvekar23 Even more "boring" tech that's powering lots of the web: the LAMP stack

Being the only engineer on a production app teaches you one thing fast: boring tech wins. Postgres. Redis. A monolith. No unnecessary microservices. No drama. Simple systems are easier to build, debug, and maintain. They just run.

@LundukeJournal @LinuxNews_de This sounds like G-WAN...

I love it when Tech Journalists (99% of whom are on the opposite end of the political spectrum from me) write "hit pieces" on me... which end up being some of the best advertising I could hope for. From @LinuxNews_de (translated from German): "[Lunduke's] views have shifted significantly to the right: Lunduke has, among other things, taken a clear stance against mandatory vaccinations, spoken favorably of the Capitol stormers of January 6, 2021, and regularly writes against trans and LGBTQ issues. For example, he refers to a trans woman as a man in a dress. In 2024, his YouTube channel was completely blocked, which he himself describes as political censorship, while others see it as a consequence of his content." linuxnews.de/kurios-lunduke…

@nishantdevx @dengolius Haven't tried VictoriaMetrics + VictoriaTraces + VictoriaLogs, but we're using LGTM stack, but currently for testing. For production, we're using managed Better Stack Telemetry

@ferron_web @dengolius VictoriaMetrics is so underrated for how efficient it is. Have you actually run their full Traces/Logs stack in prod yet, or do you still lean towards LGTM?

The observability stack every backend needs: 1. Metrics – Prometheus/Grafana (what's happening) 2. Logs – Structured JSON + ELK (why it happened) 3. Traces – OpenTelemetry (where it happened) If you can't observe it, you can't debug it. #backend #devops
