Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

yes busybox httpd or civetweb is even smaller, both around 300kb.
for tini you mean https://github.com/krallin/tini? how large is your final docker image, why not just alpine in that case which is musl+busybox

Should You Be Scared of Unix Signals?
Ah gotcha. I believe it can be baked into images as well, per the entrypoint example in the readme: https://github.com/krallin/tini
Not sure how this will fare IRL in k8s as I haven’t much experience there. It’s still silly that this is the default behavior where you need something like Tini, but I digress.

The Tailscale Universal Docker Mod
To be fair, even for running a single process the pitfalls are real. I've been seeing Tini[1] a lot for these situations.
I just read in the README that Tini is included by Docker since 1.13 if using --init flag.

docker run --init flag doesn't seem to work on Mac
The default init process used is the first docker-init executable found in the system path of the Docker daemon process. This docker-init binary, included in the default installation, is backed by tini.

AFAIK It's for the init process to reparent zombie processes. See TINI

Nginx 1.26.0 Stable Released
Yeah, unless I'm looking at it wrong, there doesn't seem to be any meaningful difference between 1.25.5 and 1.26.0:

How to securely reverse-proxy ASP.NET Core web apps
However, it's very unlikely that .NET developers will directly expose their Kestrel-based web apps to the internet. Typically, we use other popular web servers like Nginx, Traefik, and Caddy to act as a reverse-proxy in front of Kestrel for various reasons:
- Ask HN: Is nginx.org (the domain-name itself) gone?

Freenginx: Core Nginx Developer Announces Fork of Popular Web Server
> I actually don't understand why I am seeing arguments like this all the time.
Have a look at:
https://github.com/nginx/nginx/blob/master/src/http/modules/...
It's got the whole checklist: nginx idiosyncratic module system, inline parsing, custom utf conversion, buffer preallocation and adjustments, linked lists, comments about side effects of custom allocator, and probably other things.
It's not easy to deal with source like that and any serious improvement to that area would effectively be a rewrite anyway.
Since anything doing work in nginx is a module anyway, it wouldn't even have to be a full rewrite in one go.

The Internet is Maintained by 1 Software Developer
According to this article, nGinx is being used to serve 34% of all websites in the world. I checked out who's contributing to nGinx, and just like I thought, the project has 8,208 commits, and 5,366 of those commits was made by 2 software developers; igorsoev and mdounin.

Web CGI programs aren't particularly slow these days
Apache’s mod_fastcgi’s last commit was 2 weeks ago:
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/
It’s a fork of what you linked (and was more popular afaik back when fastcgi was state of the art, and apache was the undisputed champion of web servers).
These days, nginx has more market share than apache, and its fastcgi module is one of the more recently updated ones in its source tree (5 months vs multiple years):
https://github.com/nginx/nginx/tree/master/src/http/modules
If I was going to build an embedded web server, I’d start with nostd rust, probably with though axum + tokio, since thats already memory safe-ish.
If I needed fastcgi for some reason (dynamically loadable endpoints, or os-level isolation), there are at least four implementations of fastcgi for it. No idea if any are decent though.

Five Apache projects you probably didn't know about
APISIX is an API Gateway. It builds upon OpenResty, a Lua layer built on top of the famous nginx reverse-proxy. APISIX adds abstractions to the mix, e.g., Route, Service, Upstream, and offers a plugin-based architecture.
What are some alternatives?
dumb-init - A minimal init system for Linux containers
Caddy - Fast and extensible multi-platform HTTP/1-2-3 web server with automatic HTTPS
systemd - The systemd System and Service Manager
envoy - Cloud-native high-performance edge/middle/service proxy
inotify-tools - inotify-tools is a C library and a set of command-line programs providing a simple interface to inotify.
Squid - Squid Web Proxy Cache
torsocks - Library to torify application - NOTE: upstream has been moved to https://gitweb.torproject.org/torsocks.git
nestjs-monorepo-microservices-proxy - Example of how to implement a Nestjs monorepo with no shared folder
s6 - The s6 supervision suite.
Hiawatha - Hiawatha is an open source webserver with security, easy to use and lightweight as the three key features. Hiawatha supports among others (Fast)CGI, IPv6, URL rewriting and reverse proxy. It has security features no other webserver has, like blocking SQL injections, XSS and CSRF attacks and exploit attempts. The built-in monitoring tool makes it perfect for large scale deployments.
