Ferron is a new web server framework built in Rust, boasting speed and memory safety. Recent benchmarks from TechEmpower indicate that Rust frameworks are leading in performance under test conditions, making Ferron a competitive option among web servers. The server is noted for its barebones approach, relying on Rust callbacks to deliver content. Additionally, users have expressed interest in its features, such as automatic SSL certificate management. Comparisons to other tools like Caddy and Nginx lack certain aspects, which led to questions regarding Ferron's relative speed and functionalities. Overall, community feedback is positive, with users appreciating its speed and lightweight nature, though there are calls for comprehensive speed benchmarks against established solutions like Nginx.
