Before nginx was a thing, I worked with a guy who forked apache httpd and wrote this blog in C, like, literally embedded html and css inside the server, so when he made a tpyo or was adding another post he had to recompile the source code. The performance was out of this world.

Fefe uses a LDAP server as backend, not Apache

He uses his own http server called gatling and an LDAP server instead of a database.

He also uses his own http server that in turn queries the ldap server solely for the articles. The rest is compiled into the http server binary.
